YIKES — John Kirby says there’s “a lot to be proud of” in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and says a “lot of Afghans are now living better lives” now.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby said he doesn't see why
everyone associates the Afghanistan withdrawal with 'chaos' as the White House
released its congressionally-requested post-mortem of the Afghanistan withdrawal
Thursday in a report that heavily blamed the Trump administration.

'All this talk of chaos, I just don't see it,' Kirby said in a White House briefing,
referring to the withdrawal that culminated in a suicide bombing at the Kabul
airport that 13 Americans and some 170 others dead. 'I just don't buy the whole
argument of chaos.'

Oblivious much, kirby?

One of the most vital things Congress could do is pass a law that says decisions made by government agencies must include the NAMES of those officials making the decisions. That is true accountability and would not allow officials to hide behind fuzzy language like “The FBI announced” or “The DOJ said.”

Yes, but a good reminder that Biden's Kabul fiasco was chaotic.

Ironically, by dragging their feet on the withdrawal and passing it to Biden, the DoD saved Trump the embarrassment of Afghanistan falling to the Taliban on his watch. While the withdrawal might have gone smoother under Trump (without 13 dead Americans), the Taliban would have still taken over, including taking the billions of dollars in US weapons and equipment. The media would have made a huge deal out of it, unlike their coverage under Biden.

Because people falling off the sides of a plane that is taking off is not chaos.

Where the real intelligence disaster started.

He’s had that problem all his life.
