Donald Trump takes dig at Biden, says never in history departure from war managed so poorly

Never in history has a departure from a war been managed so poorly or incompetently by Americans from Afghanistan, former President Donald Trump remarked as the US flew its final military flight out of Kabul, bringing out all of its armed personnel from the nation.

"Never in history has a departure from war been managed so poorly or incompetently as the Biden administration's exit from Afghanistan," Trump remarked as the United States' longest war concluded, with the Taliban taking control of the nation. He added that all equipment should be demanded to be immediately returned to the United States, including every penny of the USD 85 billion dollars in cost.

Trump's successor, Joe Biden, has appointed Zalmay Khalilzad as Special Representative for Afghan Reconciliation to carry out the last stages of discussions with the Taliban.
"The Biden administration was more focused on meeting an artificial target date than on meeting the circumstances that would allow the execution of the mission that delivers on behalf of America," former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed. He said there was no need for the departure date, and the responsibility was to the American people and the country's security.

Former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley called it a "shameful retreat." She said that Joe Biden had just finished his humiliating retreat from Afghanistan, putting American civilians and Afghan friends under the control of a terrorist regime. Biden is to be responsible if anything wrong occurs to them.
