Obama wanted to get us out but listened to his people and agreed to give more support a shot.

Biden said he would get us out. He knew it would be messy. The unexpected was the sitting Afghan government abandoning their posts.

My feeling is it is going fine. We are actively working with Taliban security people to get it done. I also heard a general today say that Taliban has managed to stop a number of attacks in advance. It is something they will need to do after we go.
