Just for fun lets do a little math

40 hour work week, 52 weeks in a year is 2080 work hours - figure he had 1/2 a year to plan the disaster in Afganastran the numbers of hours for planning could be as high as 1040 hours (40 hour work week, 1/2 year per person of planning time).  Now we know that Biden loves to call a lid by noon, so we can probably reduce that number considerably for Biden himself - but I would think that some of those cabinet members, joint chiefs, military generals may have put in a few hours here and there that might make up for some of his sleepy/lid time.

Hell even an hour a day daydreaming about it for half a years worth of a work week would be 182 hours of planning time per person.  How many person hours do you think was used to come up with "Well Trump didnt do it for us"  that could have been used for actual planning???

And yet the excuse is, someone else did not make us a plan????  Can you please give us a timeframe in your mind that would have allowed dementia Biden and his incompetent cabinet/joint chiefs and all the other morons in government to come up with a plan?

Reuters Biden Afgan timeline

Lets just play with the timeline some.  April 14 Biden announced withdrawal on May 1 ending on Sept 11.  Lets assume that Biden didnt even know prior to April that Afganastan existed, with his dementia it is possible.  For easier math and not worrying to much about actual work weeks, was the announcement on a Wednesday or a Friday. 

Well found a better way to estimate it, looking at the period May 1st - August 31st using this link to exclude weekends and holidays ( there was 4 in this time period apparently)  Biden had 83 works days, lets just leave it at 1 hour per day set aside for planning per person.  That is 83 hours per person of planning time, now we know that presidents do not actually do the work and have a ton of people to help with things like planning.  So instead of trying to come up with a realistic number of people in the military, joint chiefs, cabinet, vice pres, state department, ambassadors who were stationed in the region etc.  Lets just for fun say 20 people, but as you and I know the number is wayyyy to small.

So 1 hour per day for 5 days, or just 5 hours scheduled per week and 20 people would have spend 1660 planning hours over this period of time.  Yet that would apparently not even be enough for Bidens team to overcome any lack of a plan.  The fact that they extended the deadline makes their(and your) excuse even more laughable if they had kept the origional 5/1 deadline from inaguration he would have only had 70 work days to think about it, but in reality from his inaguration till Sept 11th had 160 work days to not make a plan.

I know there is an old saying about sticking enough monkeys in a room full of typewriters that one of them will eventually write Hamlet or some movie script( or a good evacuation plan from Afganastan), but to have the excuse that someone did not do our job for us versus thinking that given the size of the federal government and the people who are in charge of planning in the military could probably be outdone by some monkeys in a room in terms of hammering out a proper evacuation plan does not give me any confidence in this administration.  

So again I put to you, at what point in time would the potato head in charge have had enough time to come up with a plan?  From the Oblamer days we know that it takes more then 8 years before it is no longer inherited and the buck actually stops where it belongs.
