Hey, who couldn't quietly slip out of isolated, mountainous backwater with a few thousand heavily equipped soldiers?

I can understand Obama being wary. The loudmouth racists will drown out whatever he says. And his support of the John Lewis voting rights act has not made many headlines, from what I've seen. When he does speak out he only gets 10 minutes of notice. If Obama's working behind the scenes on voter turnout, that's still more than we deserve.

"How the hell do you pull out the troops and leave American civilians on the ground with no exit plans?"

Because once you start issuing exit visas to all your allies, it's obvious that you're pulling out and the whole thing collapses instantly.

You forgot one part, the promise to the Afghan translators. Obama was processing visas pretty quickly, Trump stopped it dead. Biden started it back up, but you know a couple of months is not enough to resuscitate a government program. So it was slow going up to now.

Baradar was released in October 2018, not after the deal was signed. He was instrumental in negotiating it.
