We deserve to know who was deliberately misleading and who was merely obtuse. It won’t prevent future debacles, but it might help us catch on quicker when we’re being misled. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden, at least, deserves credit for his perception and stark candor. If other presidents grasped what was really going on, they did not have the wherewithal to blow the whistle on a war conducted under a blizzard of false assessments — PolitiTweet.org

@StuPolitics Funny but his boss set this in motion — PolitiTweet.org

He wasn’t being discourteous to the Afghan military or blame-casting when he told Americans on Monday that the Afghan army lacked the will to fight. He was treating Americans like adults deserving of the unvarnished truth. — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger
And if that is not enough to make one’s blood boil, the Afghans were cutting deals — taking bribes, really — to capitulate as soon as we were gone. This went on for 18 months. It is mind-boggling that U.S. intelligence and military personnel were unaware https://t.co/8Jzqmky2Fe — PolitiTweet.org

the military concealed this doomed effort from decision-makers, who were told success was around the corner. Three presidents bought that falsehood, as did Congress, outside consultants and numerous pundits who were drawn into the “just give us more time and men” canard. — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger
Much of the blame for the failure to produce a competent Afghan army falls on the United States for its ill-conceived training programs, constant churn of leadership and cultural tone deafness. But the Afghans deserve blame, too. — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger
Biden deserves ample criticism for a clumsily executed, poorly planned evacuation in Afghanistan. (We will see whether he can atone for it in the follow-up rescue.) But he should also receive credit for calling out the military’s dissembling over 2 decades https://t.co/8Jzqmky2Fe — PolitiTweet.org

@EspuelasVox I would never want any of these people in a crisis- hair on fire, screaming we are doomed, insistent on unproven speculation. Insufferable — PolitiTweet.org

@joshrogin There is a plan we don’t know if it can be competently executed — PolitiTweet.org

you know who is responsible when State and DoD are at odds, fingerpointing and blame shifting? National Security Adviser. This is his job. https://t.co/u6ae0FaIuW — PolitiTweet.org

@BarbMcQuade @BradleyWhitford @JeffreyToobin @CNN YES. when else do we get a recorded phone call (Georgia) and contemporaneous notes (DOJ)?! It's a prosecutor's dream to get such evidence? — PolitiTweet.org

@aarondmiller2 agree, but let's see if he can unbotch it. If he gets tens of thousands out, it was a botched *beginning* - the impulse to pronounce finality after 24 hours of video is misguided — PolitiTweet.org

Ex-Obama aide: Why Biden's foreign policy team failed America https://t.co/qFEho801Ly

Agree with this. One additional issue: there are plenty of countries (e.g. Libya) with failed states and potential havens for terrorists. What is our counterterrorism policy? https://t.co/Zdy81I3dyr — PolitiTweet.org

@MMazarr This thread is the most compelling argument vs. the Goldilocks solution. I don't know if it is right. The certitude of critics who got everything wrong for 20 yrs should be rejected. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheBushCenter @MargaretHoover @laurawbush lovely, positive and forward looking statement - if he can do it so can people who cheered for a futile war — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger
the same Rs who cheered Trump for getting out, blame Biden for abandoning Afghans - whom they don't want to let in as refugees. pardon me if I don't listen to a damn thing they have to say. — PolitiTweet.org

Russia says Afghan president fled with cars and helicopter full of cash - RIA .. can't get more on the nose than that https://t.co/HwRcCxrmf3 — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger
sorry if Biden hurt their feelings such an army cannot be fixed or helped: " The spectacular collapse of Afghanistan’s military ..began with a series of deals brokered in rural villages" -they were paid to give up weapons. talk about betrayal https://t.co/4OcKkrE75H — PolitiTweet.org

we must hold him to this: "Get our people and our allies as safely and quickly as possible. And once we have completed this mission, we will conclude our military withdrawal." "ONCE" and not before https://t.co/mgcHq1suEw — PolitiTweet.org
