A new State Department report places blame for the disastrous US withdrawal from Afghanistan on the Biden administration.
While the White House refused release the full review, Biden’s National Security Council released a “summary” of the findings on the afternoon of Good Friday. That documentfor pledging to the Taliban that the US would leave Afghanistan by May 2021 as part of the Doha agreement — a move that supposedly left his successor no option but to pull American forces out.
Unlike the Biden summary, the IG report holds both presidents responsible for their respective roles in the Afghanistan debacle. “[Afghan] President Ashraf Ghani seemed never fully to appreciate the gravity of the situation or believed that, somehow, the United States might reconsider the decision to withdraw its forces,” the report said.
“COVID-related precautions also reduced opportunities to convene classified discussions at post and the Department, including those in support of crisis planning and response,” the report said. “In fact, COVID mitigation efforts meant that some new embassy employees had not met others in their offices until the embassy evacuated to the Kabul airport.”prevent similar catastrophes
