On Thursday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Kristen Welker reported on the Biden administration’s review of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and noted that while the Biden administration attempts to blame the Trump administration, the Biden administration has maintained — both in 2021 and today — that the evacuation wasn’t a mess, despite the fact that, to this day, “Afghan interpreters who helped the U.S. are in hiding.”
Welker said, “Tonight, nearly two years after the deadly and disastrous American withdrawal from Afghanistan, those stunning images of Afghans desperately chasing U.S. planes, and the airport terror attack — which killed 13 U.S. servicemembers — the Biden administration releasing its after-action review, trying to pin much of the blame on former President Trump, who had left office eight months earlier, including citing sharp drawdowns of U.S. troops.”
She added that while the report acknowledges the evacuation should have started sooner, “President Biden, at the time, called the withdrawal a[n] ‘extraordinary success’.” And played a clip of White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby saying that he doesn’t “buy the whole argument of chaos.”
Welker concluded, “Meanwhile, in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan tonight, women face new oppression and Afghan interpreters who helped the U.S. are in hiding.” And “Just last month, the CENTCOM commander warned ISIS in Afghanistan could conduct terror attacks against U.S. interests abroad in under six months.”

EXACTLY! ITS TRUMPS FAULT BUT WE ARE PROUD OF HOW IT WENT! DUH
I think that the response is so full of BS it makes the WH look stupid. We have no valid leadership in the WH, and even the most powerful countries in the world have lost all confidence in the US
Pretty much all he can do. He’s got the media so there is no follow-up on any statement. It’s an embarrassing situation. The rest of the world laughs at us. Foreign aid checks keep the laughter on other shores.
We are lead by entitled, arrogant children.
And nobody cares, because to the Left, the only thing that matters is The Revolution, anything that detracts from it, they just ignore.
The rest of the world is laughing.
this is preemptive...House hearings begin this month on the with drawl. I want to see the communications when they realize they were surrounded at that airport....this is gonna be something.
It’s ok, Biden voters have cognitive dissonance in abundance, so this works for them.
.......what was the “official” figure of Americans who are still trapped in that s**thole of a country....? 175 or so...? and we know that is a giant lie, the actual number is many times that, perhaps in the thousands....? these people are nothing less than lying scumbags.....
“How can you tell when a politician is lying to you? the instant you see their lips start to move....”
Unbelievable BS about Afghanistan
This is their argument: It wasn’t a disaster, but if you THINK it was a disaster, it was Trump’s fault.
Are parts of the moronic left beginning to wise up, or is Welker's contract up?

They want to Push Brandon out.
Imposing cognitive dissonance on the population has always been a favorite tactic of Marxist regimes.
This is nothing new. Democrats have no creativity, and their supporters have no awareness of history.
It’s two years too late, Joe…..
You own this.
