Afghan army-building failed. Afghan state-building probably failed. But Afghan society-building did not. Afghan urban societies, in part because of US assistance and engagement, are vastly different from the last time the Taliban ruled there. — PolitiTweet.org

There are lots of true horror stories coming out of Afghanistan. There are also lots of heroic acts being performed by some of my former State Department colleagues now deployed to execute a very difficult evacuation mission. Someday, I hope their story gets recorded too. — PolitiTweet.org

The first evacuation plan for Afghanistan failed. The second one is succeeding. So let's stay with it until everyone who qualifies and wants to leave does so. Finish the job! Accomplish the mission! — PolitiTweet.org

Today Biden hinted at staying longer, but did not say so definitively. He said, "there are discussions." People from Afghanistan I trust say that a more definitive commitment to stay for as long as it takes would help to reduce the panic & chaos at the airport gates. — PolitiTweet.org

@McFaul Hasn’t he said that? Maybe I misunderstood.

When I was in the USG (2009-2014), we did not predict the Green Revolution (2009), the Kyrgyz coup (2010) the Arab Spring (2011), Russian demonstrations (2011) or the Revolution of Dignity (2013-2014). Nor did the leaders of Iran, Kyrgyzstan, the Arab world, Putin, or Yanukovich. — PolitiTweet.org

No one judges a team's success by how they played in the first quarter or first inning. Finishing strong and winning is what matters. Biden & team can finish strong and succeed with this evacuation if they stick to it for as long as it takes to get out all those who qualify. — PolitiTweet.org

The CIA cannot predict the future. Nor can political science. They can only gather information/do research and then offer probabilities. Making point predictions about revolutions, state collapse, coups, democratic breakthroughs, etc is near impossible. — PolitiTweet.org

@KenneyKay Please stop reading me then. Im not an expert. But I did help to expand NDN in to Afghanistan for for 4 years and I did help to execute a rescue plan of Americans out of Kyrgyzstan in 2010, and so I know how hard it is to get it right the 1st time.

@NastyNana16 @SaveRDemocrazy Biden and team told us-- to withdraw all troops by July 4th. They got them out, and now even more are back. And NOW they are succeeding. — PolitiTweet.org

@calvincito99 @MalcolmNance When you withdrew troops and then had to bring in more than were originally there, that's a failed evacuation. Sorry. I loved Joe Biden and his team. I want them to succeed now. But the 1st plan didn't work. The 2nd one is working better. — PolitiTweet.org
