While ideal was to stick to the Doha agreement and get all U.S. troops out by May 1, this looks promising. Discussion around not wanting to sink back deeper into the conflict, wanting to end the war to focus on other issues, and the specific date lend hope. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/biden-us-troop-withdrawal-afghanistan/2021/04/13/918c3cae-9beb-11eb-8a83-3bc1fa69c2e8_story.html

We didn’t need to be in a position where a "logistics extension" could now be prudent. But Biden will be doing the right thing by ordering a speedy and full military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

This time will give our forces the ability to depart safely and without making too many compromises about what equipment we take, leave, or destroy on the way out.

Biden should provide the Taliban and critics at home who could try to be spoilers with clear signal that we are definitely on the way out – and that no new conditions are being applied. This will help mitigate any pressure TB could feel to restart attacks on U.S. forces...

assuming no deal has been cut with TB already.

It would be an unnecessary shame for even one more American to die in this conflict.
