It's a NYT hatchet job, all ten pages.
Then he pretends Biden knew what he was talking about when he challenged Codi. Biden was quoting a number that referred to Mosul and asserting it represented the entire country, which was 10X larger. This writer tries to make the difference look like well-trained troops vs. total troops. Biden was speaking out his anus, not discerning troop readiness levels. I skipped the last few pages as the writer lost all credibility in my eyes.
