I think sticking with the time limit is the right thing to do. It is bitter, but for the following reason I think its correct:

Because every single day with reports on the chaos, images of the obvious defeat of the West and its shame gets produced and spread in the world. Its a giant propaganda show in which the defeated illustrates his inferior position and the pitiful outcome of a 20 years ambition. The Romans led the chieftains and leaders of defeated people around the streets of Rome during a victory parade, before they got executed. What we see in TV images from Afghanistan and the Airport Kabul now, pretty much serves the same purpose: disgracing the defeated Western powers, and namely the US. For the Taleban, its a giant propaganda coup. And all for free.

The mistakes have been made. The proper way to get out would have been to start with civil evacuations silenty and months ahead. And withdrawing in winter, not in summer. All mistakes possible have been made. The last mistake one could have done is to let this TV series of endless shameful pictures go on and on.

It gotta stop.
