‘Inexcusable Failure’: Obama Ethics Chief Slams Biden for Not Evacuating More Afghan Allies

Former President Barack Obama’s ethics chief slammed the Biden administration Sunday for failing to adequately plan evacuations to rescue more of America’s Afghan allies—as Taliban insurgent forces entered the capital city of Kabul and tightened their grip on Afghanistan.
“The evacuation of Afghans who supported the US should’ve cast a wider net and been better planned. That’s an inexcusable failure of this administration. When images of executions start spreading, let’s also remember that Trump wanted to invite Taliban warlords to Camp David,” tweeted Walter Shaub, who served as director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics between 2013 to 2017.
In a rapid advance that has apparently stunned top White House advisers, the Taliban has captured at least 26 of Afghanistan’s 34 provincial capitals in less than two weeks. Just four days ago, U.S. defense officials had predicted that it would take Taliban insurgents between one to three months to isolate Kabul and take it over.
