The exit was badly handled, true,

That's the summary of it. The rest is window dressing.
Nobody told Joe Biden he had to abruptly withdraw in the most slipshod way possible, on an arbitrary timeline, and by 9/11 of that year.

He wanted to score some political points, plain and simple. Only the images of his Foreign Policy triumph will forever be people falling off the landing gear of C-17s.
