LurkerMom: ...President Biden catastrophically pulled US forces from the country handing it over to the Taliban.

Completely delusional.

The Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawal.

And the Trump administration kept to the pact, reducing U.S. troop levels from about 13,000 to 2,500, even though the Taliban continued to attack Afghan government forces and welcomed al-Qaeda terrorists into the Taliban leadership.

The decision to leave the country was originally negotiated under former president Trump and allowed the Taliban to strengthen their position against the US-backed government.

Biden certainly made mistakes in the Afghanistan withdrawal but Trump made them too. And what are you suggesting anyway, that America should have 13,000 troops on the ground in Afghanistan?
