The problem Biden faced, Marla, was that the Taliban were advancing after what H.R. McMaster, Trump's former national security adviser, called Trump's "surrender deal." So Biden would have had to escalate our troop presence there to achieve what you suggest. There was virtually no public support for that and it would have been as futile ultimately as all the other escalations over the last 20 years. If we've learned one thing--and we haven't learned much--you can't keep going to war without public support.
Spot on. Monty

It was an AIRPORT, you simpleton. He wasn’t charged with plucking people off the top of an iceberg with a helicopter.
