As I said, find new sources for your talking points. Biden clearly isn't the most trusted source for news.
Not real hard to find and really an artistic peace of work.
i mean, negotiating with terrorist and guarenteeing the release of 5,000 taliban jackals was a smart move, no?
Afghanistan was a quagmire, always has been, always will be. Plenty of supporters for this dumb war on this board.
As if we could not learn from the Soviets about the Graveyard of Empires

so the govt put it on the internet, it must be true.
But that is just the agreement, your talking points that the Taliban is honoring that is so laughable.

And what sort of an idiot would release terrorists? Especially ones that could return to lead the Taliban.

Started August 2020 so you do the math.

Here is the official wording:
The United States is committed to start immediately to work with all relevant sides on a plan
to expeditiously release combat and political prisoners as a confidence building measure with
the coordination and approval of all relevant sides. Up to five thousand (5,000) prisoners of
the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and
is known as the Taliban and up to one thousand (1,000) prisoners of the other side will be
released by March 10, 2020, the first day of intra-Afghan negotiations, which corresponds to
Rajab 15, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Hoot 20, 1398 on the Hijri Solar calendar.
The relevant sides have the goal of releasing all the remaining prisoners over the course of the
subsequent three months. The United States commits to completing this goal. The Islamic
Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known
as the Taliban commits that its released prisoners will be committed to the responsibilities
mentioned in this agreement so that they will not pose a threat to the security of the United
States and its allies.

Don't leave out Mike Pompeo, he was the official in charge and pretty damn proud at the time.

Wrong. Try a bit before that. Traded the leader for a deserter.
You people really need to expand your sources.

So now it's Obama's fault? Bo Bergdahl is why this all went south, yep, staying right on topic.
And on a side-note three of the five released Taliban were helping negotiate this withdrawal agreement.
The only good news right now is they got 6000 more Americans out yesterday..
