Part of me thinks that people in the administration really wanted this to happen in time for the "20th anniversary of 9/11". If it did not become as much of a cluster**** as it has, and no American died, it could've been a rather easy optical success for Biden. Right now, he's looking more like Gerald Ford (Vietnam/Saigon) than Eisenhower (Korean War).

So after 20 years of incompetence the competence was supposed to start now? Focusing on the withdrawal honestly feels like copium so people don't have to deal with the sheer weight of a 20 year abject failure that indicts the entire country. No, it's just this one guy's failure in this particular moment so let's focus on that and not think about how much America sucks.
