Biden "is doing the right thing. And if it seems he is not doing it at the right time, that is

[highplainsdem]

because all the other better times came before now and were passed over by others who lacked his courage, the courage to see what really is, accept it and find the best way forward."

That was the last tweet in a thread from David Rothkopf that Nevilledog posted this morning. That thread is here

but it hasn't received the attention and recs it deserves.

And I wanted to highlight the last tweet.

1. If there had been a neat and clean way of getting out, some president before Biden would've done it

[viva la]

2. Frankly, better he get rid of this problem in his first year.

It was never going to be easy. In two years, let's face it, few voters will remember this.

3. K&R

4. There wasn't going to be a right time ever

Totally unwinnable war. Joe did the right thing, I just hope against hope most Americans can see that.

5. Who wants their own

kid to die over there protecting those who refuse to serve in there own army? Who wants to keep spending the money? Would the rich give up their tax breaks and children to stay?

6. While it may be true of the troop withdrawal, it's not true of the evacuation of interpreters

Evacuation should have begun in April, not mid-July.

The interpreters and their families should have been put on military transport planes and flown to Guam for vetting and processing. Guam was ready and willing to receive them.

Biden could have issued an EO granting all interpreters and their families asylum.

The political and legal fallout could have been dealt with once the refugees were safely out of the country.

Sec. Blinken should resign, as should some high level intelligence officials.

7. Like Grandma said, there is no good time for bad news.

Joe made a very good decision, but with sad consequences.
No good time for this.
