You can blame both of them for the disastrous response. Breaking the terms of the withdrawal, imposing sanctions and then drone striking civilians in Afghanistan before withdrawal were massive contributors. Culpability isn't black and white.

I'd be fine with that analysis. Both presidents fucked up. Republicans are, like classical narcissists, never willing to admit they did anything wrong and eager to blame all their mistakes 100% on other people.
