Biden Thinks His Administration Made Zero Mistakes During Chaotic Afghanistan Withdrawal
Despite countless screw-ups and crises throughout his term, President Joe Biden believes he's done a good time running the country.
One of the most notable controversies under Biden was his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
However, according to a new book, the president believes his administration did nothing wrong during the chaotic time in which 13 American military personnel died from a terrorist attack in Kabul.
Politico's national security reporter Alexander Ward detailed in his upcoming book, The Internationalists: The Fight to Restore Foreign Policy After Trump, that Biden told his administration that there was no real possibility of a "shake-up."
"Biden told his top aides, [National Security Adviser Jake] Sullivan included, that he stood by them and they had done their best during a tough situation," Ward wrote.
The president has faced mounting pressure to resign from lawmakers and Gold Star families following the botched operation, which left thousands of American citizens and Afghan allies stranded in Afghanistan. During the poorly executed withdrawal, Biden also failed to secure more than $7 million worth of weapons, aircraft, guns, vehicles, ammunition, and specialized equipment.
"After the withdrawal, "no one offered to resign, in large part because the president didn't believe anyone had made a mistake. Ending the war was always going to be messy," Ward said.
