It's directly above in the reply chain:

who started the withdrawal and left only 2500 troops in Afghanistan by the time Biden took office?

But kind of like Republicans blamed Obama for not ending the wars they started, the blame is now all on Biden.

I don't think anyone here is trying to blame Biden for the totality of withdrawal of Afghanistan. But it appears that most people in this thread are trying to deflect any sense of responsibility from the president.

He could have slowed down the time table, he could have pulled more troops to give families and allies more time. We shouldn't have a knee jer reaction to valid criticisms of politicians. That just gives cover for all the invalid criticism to sound more credible.
