@CalebHowe @scottlincicome Yes, when we leave a fruitless war it is failure. This is it. This is what happens when you leave "forever" wars. Thinking we could fine tune retreat from a 20 yr disaster is magical thinking — PolitiTweet.org

"Don't blame the Afghans!" No, we are stating a truism. They collapsed. We can blame rotten training by US. We can blame our cultural ineptitude but Afgh military cut deals w/Taliban and gave up en masse. Doesn't negate sacrifice of brave Afghans who did fight. It's reality. — PolitiTweet.org

The notion that our Arab allies won't trust us after we leave a fruitless war in Afghanistan = saying South Korea, Japan, etc. wouldn't trust us because we left Vietnam. These relations are fundamentally diff — PolitiTweet.org

at @DeptofDefense briefing : British paratroopers going out into Kabul to get their people. Why aren't we? DOD isn't authorized. WH needs to give that authorization and give enough troops to do that. WTF are we waiting for? — PolitiTweet.org

If we cannot verify, we dare not trust the Taliban. https://t.co/XNBB1B2wsH — PolitiTweet.org

Administration officials repeatedly say they will assess the Taliban by its deeds, not its words. That becomes difficult once the last troops are on a plane out of the country. https://t.co/XNBB1B2wsH — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkHertling @Martina prob because the same media now criticizing was snowed by the military spin they now decry .. it took an IG report and end of war to get commentariat to recognize what they'd conveyed for 20 yrs. wasn't true — PolitiTweet.org

We should also be prepared to get an answer many dont like to hear: There is no way around such chaos and misery when you lose a war. The human suffering will always overwhelm the most well-intentioned bureaucracies. https://t.co/4IIM20KTdo — PolitiTweet.org

If U.S. officials thought they had months to work logistics out, they were tragically, terribly mistaken. If the intelligence community could not anticipate the collapse of its own ally, then it is an intelligence failure of immense proportions. https://t.co/4IIM20KTdo — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger
Did the Biden team ever threaten to beef up its military to evacuate refugees if the Taliban would not extend the deadline? Could it still do this? Given the logjam the admin knew would occur at the Kabul airport, why pull out of Bagram ? https://t.co/4IIM20KTdo — PolitiTweet.org

The operation wasn't designed to physically remove all these people in a matter of weeks. It was designed, based on intelligence provided, to play out over months. Getting them into the airport and out of the country is the Herculean task ahead https://t.co/4IIM20KTdo — PolitiTweet.org

The State Department can reach out to these people, advise them on how to prepare to make a claim and instruct them on where to go. It cannot, however, go get them. https://t.co/4IIM20KTdo — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger
Biden’s administration was not idle. However, it couldn't create out of whole cloth the enormous operation, which in normal times can take two years, to grant visas to tens of thousands of people let alone to airlift them out if the Afg military crumbled https://t.co/4IIM20KTdo — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger
In one of the most irresponsible acts of a thoroughly irresponsible presidency, Donald Trump set a withdrawal date ridiculously near at hand, drew down forces to a precipitously low level and left no blueprint for getting people out https://t.co/4IIM20KTdo — PolitiTweet.org

key: No intelligence agency is good at estimating a partner force’s will to fight, said James R. Clapper Jr.. The US misjudged it in Vietnam, during the Islamic State take over of northern Iraq and again in Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org

senior administration officials acknowledged that as the pace of WH meetings on Afghanistan grew more frenzied in August and in the days leading up to the Taliban takeover this weekend, the intelligence agencies did not say the collapse was imminent. https://t.co/wqyT5zigji — PolitiTweet.org
