None of the Republicans are complaining about withdrawing - after all it was their policy - but are having a go at Biden for the way in which it happened, probably because they are freaked out by the speed with which the Taliban took back the country.

Fact is it was Trump who signed the agreement for withdrawal of US troops AND set the deadline of May 1st - so as the Biden camp are now pointing out, their hands were tied.
The Trump agreement stated that the Taliban had to work together with the then present government.If they did this under Trump he would have bombed them back to the middle ages.They saw Biden as weak and exploited the situation.He was told in early July by intel that the Taliban could quickly overrun the country and then lied that he never received that information.He is a career politician and liar full stop and always has been even from when he was at college.His record speaks for itself.
