Our POTUS specifies when the Americans are leaving and schedules it for election time so he can get the anti-war vote. War decisions are not supposed to be partisan political decisions. They are suppose to be military decisions with the primary purpose of protecting those in harms way. If they know when we are leaving. The Taliban can take a vacation until the Americans leave.
This man is no war time POTUS.
