Biden had attended this particular movie before. He had seen the beginning, middle, and end. So it's unsurprising that he had his own strong views about what to do. 15/x — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever you or I or the people on cable TV would have personally advised Biden, there was no escaping the threshold question: honor Trump's deal and surrender Afghanistan - or renege on Trump's deal and recommit more or fewer US forces to defend Afghanistan. 14/x — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody can ever know the hazards of the road not taken. Had Biden opted to renege on the Trump-Pompeo deal, that would have had costs too. Maybe those costs would have been worth it. But maybe it's also the job of a president to face ugly truths and accept bad outcomes. 16/x — PolitiTweet.org
