Biden: I Own It.

“President Biden offered a defiant defense on Monday of his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, blaming the swift collapse of the Afghan government and the chaotic scenes at the Kabul airport on the refusal of the country’s military to stand and fight in the face of the Taliban advance.
Speaking to the American people from the East Room after returning briefly to the White House from Camp David, Mr. Biden said he has no regrets about his decision to end the longest war in United States history. But he lamented that two decades of support failed to turn the Afghan military into a force capable of securing their own country.”
President Biden came out and said he owns his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. It may prove to be the correct decision once all the dust settles and the horrific pics coming from the country are done making their rounds on social media. According to him there were two decisions, ramping up our military effort thus agreeing to spend trillions more money or to withdraw from the country after a failed nation building exercise. At least he didn’t lie and call it a ‘perfect beautiful’ withdrawal.
