Criticism mounts over botched Afghanistan withdrawal and protection of corrupt politicians.
TL;DR Summary
US veterans are criticizing the Biden administration for protecting "corrupt politicians" by denying the chaos of the Afghanistan withdrawal. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby blamed former President Donald Trump for the chaotic evacuation, which infuriated veterans across the country. Lawmakers also blasted the White House for not taking responsibility for its role in the disastrous withdrawal. The 12-page document released by the White House claims Biden was forced to withdraw troops after Trump made a pledge to the Taliban promising to do so by May 2021 as part of the Doha agreement.
