Tuesday we look at how integral Harris has been to the White House&#8230;.yet somehow had nothing to do with the botched Afghan withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, like anything gone wrong, Dems gotta Dem and blame the preceding administration.<\/p>\n<p>First, see a letter from multiple retired military types condemning Trump:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWithout involving the Afghan government, he and his Administration negotiated a deal with the Taliban that freed 5,000 Taliban fighters and allowed them to return to the battlefield,\u201d the letter claimed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, he left President Biden and Vice President Harris with no plans to execute a withdrawal, and with little time to do so.\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/09\/09\/politics\/kamala-harris-afghanistan-withdrawal\/index.html\">CNN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>By the time Biden took office the troop levels in Afghanistan were already below 3,000 troops. Trump&#8217;s negotiated withdrawal date was May 1 &#8211; Biden extended it. Not that he worried about angering the Taliban, they had already been breaking all treaty terms since 202.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>April 14 \u2014<\/strong> Saying it is \u201ctime to end the forever war,\u201d Biden announces that all troops will be removed from Afghanistan by Sept. 11.<\/p>\n<p><strong>July 6 \u2014<\/strong> The U.S. military confirms it has pulled out of Bagram Airfield, its largest airfield in the Afghanistan, as the final withdrawal nears. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/09\/09\/politics\/kamala-harris-afghanistan-withdrawal\/index.html\">CNN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That last was a key point of stupidity. During the final withdrawal in August, a suicide bomber kills over 180 (13 Americans, the rest Afghans.) Almost\u00a0 SEVEN MONTHS after Trump left office, it was his fault. (Please contrast with 9\\11\/01, when in almost exactly the same amount of time after taking office, Democrats blamed Republicans and George Bush as solely responsible for 9\/11 &#8211; not Obama.)<\/p>\n<p>No plan? In six months the military could draw up plans for ANYTHING, and Lord knows we don&#8217;t draw down to less than 300 troops after 21 years without an extremely detailed OPLAN in place. No plan? Really?<\/p>\n<p>Harris is not to blame, they say. She really had nothing to do with it, they say. Can&#8217;t blame Kamala, they say. Except:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed Sunday that she was the last person in the room before President Joe Biden made the decision to pull all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/04\/25\/harris-afghanistan-biden-withdrawal-decision-484581\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it\u2019s very important to remember that this has been the Biden-Harris agenda. Kamala Harris has been an integral architect and executor of the policies of the Biden-Harris administration,&#8221; Rice said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But this notion that she somehow doesn\u2019t deserve credit for and isn\u2019t part of and wasn\u2019t an integral architect of the Biden-Harris administration agenda is not only false, it\u2019s frankly somewhat bizarre and offensive,&#8221; Rice said. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/former-biden-adviser-susan-rice-says-harris-has-been-an-integral-architect-of-the-administrations-agenda\/ar-AA1oMpV4\">MSN<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, that last was from former White House adviser Susan &#8220;Benghazi&#8221; Rice. Only thing that throws me on this is that she ALWAYS lies, so it is rather disconcerting to hear her telling the truth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, not wearing them (although if you feel like it, hey, no one judges (Hmph, snerk) &hellip; <a title=\"Flipflop Tuesday\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=160881\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Flipflop Tuesday<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[643,707],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-160881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2024-election","category-kamala-harris"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=160881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160881\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=160881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=160881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=160881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
