re: #9 Charles Johnson

I understand the politics of why he’s doing it, but Biden isn’t being completely straight about the rapid collapse of the Afghan military and government. There were many, many warnings about the corruption and waste and lack of real force discipline over the years - the Afghanistan papers published by the Washington Post make that VERY clear.

If it’s true that nobody advising Biden foresaw the collapse being this fast, there must have been a lot of wishful thinking going on. But I think he’s downplaying this for political reasons.

Wasn’t the State Department’s report saying it would be a couple of months?
