The “China will take over” argument is the worst reason to stay in Afghanistan. For 20 years, the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan was a gift to China. It distracted us from their rise and in Afghanistan they invested, free riding on our security guarantee. https://t.co/oLNNobzTO6 — PolitiTweet.org

Of the 17 states with large unemployment drops, 8 cut off extended benefits and 9 kept them. So I guess the anecdotal evidence of extra benefits keeping people out of the workforce was…well…anecdotal. https://t.co/XevQKjp4vw — PolitiTweet.org

Strong statement from the President today. He was dealt an impossible hand - the overnight total collapse of the Afghan military and government simultaneously and everybody should probably wait a beat before casting final total judgment on the effort. — PolitiTweet.org

This was 5am last Tuesday night. I asked Senator Cruz to release at least one of his holds on dozens of key national security nominees. He refused. As we manage through the crisis in Afghanistan, dozens of key national security positions are vacant. — PolitiTweet.org

All the Republicans criticizing the implementation of the withdrawal and all the Republicans who are washing their hands of culpability for 20 years of botched occupation are going to have to get together and have a chat real soon. (spoiler: it’s all the same people) — PolitiTweet.org

It could also be that the reason for lower levels of Dem criticism is that our party has few “hawks” and most of us think getting out was the right policy. https://t.co/64H2vvNq6b — PolitiTweet.org

20 years later, with all the lessons learned, the nat sec establishment still thinks you beat terrorism with conventional armies occupying foreign lands forever. ISIS was an outgrowth of our Iraq occupation. For every Taliban fighter we killed with a drone, two more signed up. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a pretty amazing amount of this going on right now re Afghanistan. Many pundits and writers have decided their narrative in advance and are molding Biden’s words to fit. — PolitiTweet.org

a. Biden didn’t say he was not presented with a 2,500 option. He said he received split advice. b. This story reports that one option was to “negotiate” w the Taliban so that we could keep 2500. That’s different than “keep 2500”. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
In this interview he says the advice was split. He doesn’t say none of his military advisors suggested staying. From what I understand, key advisors were telling the President that 2,500 wasn’t nearly enough. And Austin told me directly that he advised a major surge. — PolitiTweet.org

Scenes like this are heartbreaking. But the confidence many pundits have that a handful of U.S. troops and diplomats could have avoided a panic caused by the overnight total collapse of the Afghan military and government (whether or not it was foreseeable) is dubious. — PolitiTweet.org
