The Biden-Harris supporters like to say “hey, Biden was just following Trump’s plan”, but, that plan was old, Biden was the actual president, and he refused to listen, because, plans can, you know, be updated and changed
President Biden was so hellbent on getting out of Afghanistan that he rebuked any advice to the contrary, ignored the pleas of the Afghan government and disregarded objections from US allies.
That was the one of the main takeaways from the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s more than two-year investigation into America’s chaotic, deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, according to a blistering report released Sunday. (snip)
His administration consistently lied to and misled the American public to try to convince them to support his consequences-be-damned view that the US should swiftly end it’s 20-year war in Afghanistan, the review said.
Former President Donald Trump’s administration had previously created and entered into the Doha Agreement with the Afghan government and the Taliban to end the US war in Afghanistan.
But Biden forged ahead with little deference to the terms of the agreement — no matter the cost — though he would later blame the same document for forcing his hand, the report found.
That plan noted that withdrawal was based on the Taliban meeting certain terms: unsurprisingly, Biden totally ignored those terms in his rush to get out of Afghanistan.
On Feb. 4, 2021, then-State Department spokesman Ned Price announced that the US would begin the review to assess the Taliban’s adherence to the Doha Agreement to evaluate whether the US should imminently withdraw from Afghanistan.
But “in his testimony before the committee, contrary to his public statement, Mr. Price asserted the Taliban’s adherence to the Doha Agreement was in fact ‘immaterial’ to the Biden-Harris administration’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan,” the document found.
And what was Kamala doing? She did say, after all, that she was the last person in the room during withdrawal and had a large hand in crafting the withdrawal.
Biden made the decision to pull out entirely despite nearly every military official advising against it, the document said.
“Despite President Biden’s public assertions to the contrary, our investigation has revealed the secretary of defense, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the commander of US Central Command, the secretary of state, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the commander of NATO’s Resolute Support Mission and United States Forces-Afghanistan all advised against withdrawing all US troops from the country — both during and after the interagency review,” the report said.
We all witnessed this live on TV as the Taliban overran the nation, took over military bases, claimed billions in military material, and killed American citizens. It’s a long article, worth the read. And, let’s not forget, the fecklessness of the Biden-Harris admin led Russia to think they could easily invade Ukraine.
