Predetermined timetable written in an international agreement.

The Taliban nodded agreeably as we did stupid at that negotiation.

Not "we" - the Orange Snake did that.

Nice of Trump to agree that the Taliban could be referred to as "The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan." Must have cheered our allies in the government, the ones Trump agreed could be kept away from the negotiating table.

Thanks, Kathleen. Your memory is more detailed than mine. ItтАЩs an important distinction but even Never Trumpers make this error frequently, attributing that withdrawal to Biden. Just like the 20% of poll respondents who believe Biden was responsible for reversing Roe v Wade. But I expect journalists to do better.
