@michaeltdresser Who said I wanted continued military involvement? Please point me to anything I’ve written anywhere saying that I want continued military involvement. — PolitiTweet.org

@Justin_Vogt @joshuahersh Whether it’s 10% or 30%, each of those percentage points is thousands of human lives. That was and continues to be my point. One can be for the withdrawal and not be callous about the lives of Afghans, especially given our insane privilege. That’s it. — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

Trump had wanted to pull out of Afghanistan but was talked out of it. If he had gone ahead with his plans and we saw the same kinds of images we’re seeing out of Afghanistan now, the same people defending Biden on here would be screaming bloody murder. — PolitiTweet.org

@joshuahersh I think serious people think this would’ve been chaotic regardless but that, with the right planning, it didn’t have to be THIS bad. And that this heartbreaking. I am one of those people. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidrlurie Exactly. And what is Twitter if not a debate club. — PolitiTweet.org

Just going to re-up this in light of Biden’s presser and seeing a lot of people parroting the administration’s talking points. — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

@pwthornton @rossrydman Of course I did. This is exactly what I’m talking about: people parroting the President’s false dichotomy that criticizing the way the withdrawal was done is the same as saying that America should’ve stayed in Afghanistan forever. It’s not. But it’s a good PR strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

"Why do you continue to trust the Taliban?" a reporter yells as Biden leaves his press conference. — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

Biden keeps pivoting from questions about *how* his administration handled the withdrawal from Afghanistan to *why* the withdrawal happened to begin with. This is the same dichotomy he set up on Monday that so many liberals (and liberal journalists) have been parroting since. — PolitiTweet.org

@jpohhhh I would love to show you all the private messages I'm getting, but you can start with looking at what Glenn Greenwald and Josh Marshall are saying. — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

@joshtpm @seankent @refinedmess What's that thing called when a deeply privileged person argues a detail of rapidly vanishing size in order to make a point while ignoring the main problem, which is that many, many, many people—brown people, women—are in mortal danger? — PolitiTweet.org

Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe

@joshtpm @seankent @refinedmess There have been many credible reports on the ground that the Taliban is going around making lists: of people who worked with foreigners, of women who worked as journalists. It's happening. Now. — PolitiTweet.org
