WaPO, I Know...
This will be remembered as the pivotal point in the retreat. An absolute blunder; worse than the ceding of Bagram, in fact it makes Bagram inconsequential as we could have kept an area much larger than Bagram secure.
In my eyes, this calls for an immediate Senate inquiry of Biden, Blinken and McKenzie as this shows definite incompetence, if not collusion with a terrorist organization. It's a long read, but well worth your time to provide context to the reasons we will be leaving folks behind come 1600 EDT tomorrow. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...akeover-kabul/ |

tl;dr
In a secret meeting between Taliban and US military leaders, the US turned over the security of the entirety of Kabul to the Taliban, even though the Taliban was reluctant. |
