Indeed.
Up until a month ago he was taking credit for the withdrawl.
“I started the process, all the troops are coming home, they (Biden) couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. They (Biden) couldn’t stop the process, they (Biden) wanted to but couldn’t stop the process.”

And while most all of us have spread blame over all the previous administrations this is 2020 so there are those want to pretend it never happened and "their side" had nothing to do with it.

And Pompeo on a FOX media tour rewriting history to cover his own legacy is sad and wrong.

As September 11 approaches, would you recommend that President Biden invite the Taliban to Camp David?
As you did with the Former Guy?https://t.co/M2zfIwaiAP
1/5 Have you read the deal agreed between the US and the Taliban?

It explains why the Taliban now rule Afghanistan again; the US just surrendered it, even promising financial support.
A quick thread follows but 1st a pic of Big Mike Pompeo doing the deal in Doha in Feb 2020... pic.twitter.com/AWhYcYwojA
Politics aside I'm long on record as maintaining that we could have been there 1000 years and when we left someone would run out of a cave and say they beat us and everything we did would get reversed.
Shouldn't have been there this long AND should have had an exit strategy when we went in. Lots of blame to go around.
And Biden with the "Buck stops with me" is what we needed. Someone to just take the heat and get it over with. And also a shot at DJT ad his attitude of never taking the blame for anything.
Taking personal responsibility used to be something that was praised.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
