Some Democrats distancing themselves from Biden's incompetent Afghan bug out

 CNN:

House and Senate Democrats are watching President Joe Biden's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan with unease, distancing themselves with some Americans left behind in the war-torn country and as Republicans plot to make the issue a major focus heading into the 2022 midterms.

In the wake of Biden's assurances that no American would be stranded before troops left, and his miscalculation over the power of the Taliban to quickly take over the Afghan government, an array of Democrats are faulting his administration's handling of the situation and are saying they need answers about the deadly end to the US' longest war.

The issue is bound to come to a head on Wednesday when the House Armed Services Committee votes on a major defense bill that is certain to become ground zero for debate over the Biden administration's Afghanistan policy. Republicans are preparing to offer an onslaught of amendments touching on everything from funding for the Taliban to the American citizens left behind, which could put some of the committee's most vulnerable Democrats in a tough spot.

The GOP has jumped on the issue, continuously hammering Biden over his execution of the withdrawal. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy — who has held four news conferences on the topic in a span of a week, even with the House on recess — encouraged Republicans in a letter to "exert maximum pressure on the Democrat majority with our amendments and debate" and "communicate the human stories of our fellow countrymen still in Afghanistan by meeting and doing events with local veterans in your districts and continuing to message on TV and local media."

Republicans have also pumped out videos on social media to show they're in Washington this week and call on Pelosi to bring the House back into session for in-person briefings and floor action.
...
Yet it's not just Republicans who are pushing back. Some Senate Democrats in difficult reelection races are also sounding the alarm.

"Leaving any American citizen behind is unacceptable, and I will keep pushing this administration to do everything in its power to get our people out," said Sen. Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat.
Hassan, who faces a difficult reelection, told WMUR last week that there have been "real miscalculations" by Biden's foreign policy team, saying there shouldn't be "artificial timelines" set for the withdrawal.

There is much more.

Many of the Democrats who are sticking with Biden on his bug out, like Biden, do not comprehend how Biden's handling of the departure led to the debacle.  Closing Bagram not only made the Americans and Afghan allies more vulnerable, but it was also directly responsible for the swiftness of the Taliban takeover.  It demoralized the Afghan army and took away the air support they needed to be a functioning military.  Their American training structured their operations to rely on air support.  When Biden took that away their combat effectiveness quickly deteriorated.
