The ex-president's deal with the Taliban

Most of page 1 of the 4 page agreement 

Republicans are attacking Biden for withdrawing from Afghanistan. For example, they complain bitterly about things like a fixed withdrawal date and conditions on the ground not being right. If memory serves, republicans didn't complain about the ex-president's Hoot 10 (February 2020) agreement with the Taliban. What about that agreement is different from what Biden proposes in withdrawing by September 11, 2021? Inquiring minds want to know.  

The agreement appears to be at this link. Some points from it.

• The phrase, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban, appears about 50 times in the four page document, making it a significant portion of the whole thing. That negotiating coup for the US must have taken about 6 months to negotiate. Clearly, the ex-president's fingerprints are all over that master stroke.
• The agreement is dated February 29, 2020 which corresponds to Rajab 5, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Hoot 10, 1398 on the Hijri Solar calendar. I'm partial to the Hoot 10, 1398 Solar calendar date myself. Hoot is the joyful month I do most of my shopping to restock my bomb shelter.
• The agreement specifies a latest date of US and foreign troop withdrawal: "The United States is committed to withdraw from Afghanistan all military forces of the United States, its allies, and Coalition partners, including all non-diplomatic civilian personnel, private security contractors, trainers, advisors, and supporting services personnel within fourteen (14) months following announcement of this agreement."  That means that May 1, 2021 or some date close to it is when the US gets out. Hm. That sounds like there is a fixed time for US and other foreign troop withdrawals. 
• As the withdrawal date nears, the US and allied troops will stand down: "The United States and its allies will refrain from the threat or the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Afghanistan or intervening in its domestic affairs."
• Lots of Taliban prisoners might be released by the Afghanistan government and maybe some prisoners the Taliban hold will be released: "The United States is committed to start immediately to work with all relevant sides on a plan to expeditiously release combat and political prisoners as a confidence building measure with the coordination and approval of all relevant sides. Up to five thousand (5,000) prisoners of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban and up to one thousand (1,000) prisoners of the other side will be released by March 10, 2020, the first day of intra-Afghan negotiations, which corresponds to Rajab 15, 1441 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Hoot 20, 1398 on the Hijri Solar calendar." Another masterpiece of the ex-president's jaw-dropping negotiating prowess is on display.

So what is the difference between the former president's Hoot 10 agreement and what Biden has unilaterally announced he will do? The main difference is clear, the Hoot 10 agreement was by the former president, a republican, and the current plan is by Biden, a democrat. Clearly, that is ample reason to savage Biden and damn him to eternal agony in a lake of fire, while praising the ex-president as God's chosen leader and world's best negotiator. 

The Biden plan allows about 3½ more months for a US presence, which is awful, no good, no bad, whatever. 

From the American point of view, conditions on the ground will suck on May 1, 2021 and on September 11, 2021, so that clearly makes Biden's plan far worse. Conversely, from the point of view of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban, conditions on the ground will be pretty darn good during all of 2021, with excellent prospects for conditions getting better after the US withdraws.

Clearly, the GOP has plenty of reasons to smear and slander Biden while bowing in awe-struck, dumb-struck obsequence before the most righteous Deity, his Royal Highness, the ex-president.

Drum beat in the background: The election was stolen!! Storm the Capitol!! Marjorie Greene says there will be blue lasers there for us to use to dispense righteous discipline against the Godless heathen hordes, and Ted Cruz approves.
