BRYAN PRESTON: Biden’s Speech on Afghanistan Was Terrible, But This Part Made the Least Sense of All. “Not only is Biden withdrawing U.S. military forces from Afghanistan relatively early in his presidency, he’s withdrawing during the country’s well-known fighting season. Withdrawing in winter, instead of summer, would likely have led to a different outcome, especially if the withdrawal had been planned well and that plan executed in concert with our NATO allies.”
