He is 100% responsible for the execution of the withdrawal and the intelligence failure.
I have also posted that the clusterfuck optics undermines confidence in Biden’s presidency. It has turned into a humiliating exit from Afghanistan.
Yet, while many posters voice their newly discovered concern for humanity and US standing abroad, we still have boots on the ground. The situation remains dangerous and tenuous, but the United States is actively working through the crisis. To my knowledge, there have thankfully been no American casualties or hostages taken. [Many posters are clearly hoping for things to get worse — more stones to throw at Biden — more ammunition for their Doomsday narrative]
We are largely in this scenario because the Afghan Army folded like a cheap suit. And even though there was “notice” that it could happen, no one contemplated it would take only 11 days. As Commander in Chief, Biden owns the intelligence failure. But, that doesn’t mean we roll over and play dead. Our best people are working through the problem. And I wish them Godspeed.
I have been consistently critical of Biden’s mismanagement of the withdrawal.
