Goldberg: Dishonor in Afghanistan
There's a lot of hand-wringing and shoulda coulda, but I don't see him offering an alternative, assuming that the US wants to get out.
If not this way, how?
He rambles on and on, but doesn't actually suggest a solution, he just knows this is bad.

And he's not the only one. All the usual suspects are berating Biden's decision (which, tbh, sort of mirrored Trump's decision), and offering nothing in terms of suggestion as to what to do, other than stay.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I don't see how staying is going to make anything any better.
People who praised Trump's isolationist instincts are now saying this is the worst decision since the last really bad decision, presumably made by a Democrat.
Afghanistan just seems like a clusterfuck to me. The Superpower killer.

Indeed. The Soviets learned that a quarter of a century ago.

The British learned it in the 19th Century, or at least they should have.

The British and the Soviets got their ass kicked. We didn't.
Yeah, that's the main thing to worry about here.

I think it's clear this was always going to happen.
I heard Paul Wolfowitz on the radio this morning saying it was a disastrous error. And he sure knows a lot about those.

@doctor-phibes Did he offer any long-term solutions?

Not that I heard. He just said it was awful. As bad as the end of Vietnam.
