It’s kind of stunning to see everybody on the right (including me) suddenly praise Biden for withdrawing from Afghanistan. It’s even more bizarre to see the left suddenly criticizing him for, of all things, withdrawing from Afghanistan. I mean, I’m glad they finally found at least one foundational principle but it’s kind of sad that this principle is limited to killing people around the world for their own good. I’m also really glad of being on the side of “mind your own flipping business.”

I’m very happy Biden is following through. The easiest solution would have been to keep the troops there, and continue to kick the can down to the next president.

It was also a bi-partisan fuckup. Even though I think Republicans bear greater responsibility for starting the whole thing and turning the whole thing into a quagmire, Obama didn’t do anything to put an end to it. At the latest, we should have been out of there the minute Osama Bin Laden was killed.
