A inevitable retreat for the circumstances resulting from the management of the dossier by the previous administration. This is the content of the 12-page report that the White House has provided congress American to explain the reasons that led to the President’s decision Joe Biden to order the withdrawal of troopsAfghanistan. A retreat that took place in a way disordered which caused, between attacks by terrorists of Islamic State and the desperation of the crowds pouring in and out of the airport buildings Kabulseveral the victims among Afghan citizens trying to flee a future belowIslamic Emirate of Taliban.
The decision, we read, was made necessary “due to the conditions left by the previous government”. donald trump, “there was no other possible scenario than withdrawal”. The document explains that when Biden took office, “the Taliban were in their strongest military position since 2001 and controlled nearly half the country.” This situation was due to the gradual but constant detachment Washington from across the Middle East and Central Asia who were wanted by Trump while he was still around United States and Taliban leaders tried to tweak that Doha Agreementnever fully realized. From that experience, the White House adds, it was understood that “the priority is with early evacuations in the face of a deteriorating security situation.” The Pentagon then explains how, in the months leading up to the end of the mission in Afghanistan, the government decided not to broadcast “loudly and publicly” the worst-case scenario that was looming, in order to avoid creating a lack of trust in the Afghan government is signaled.
Adding to the difficulties caused by the worsening of the situation, some of the information provided to President Biden was “incorrect,” the US National Security Council spokesman said. John Kirbyillustrate the report. “Biden asked many questions of his national security advisers and some of the answers proved fallacious,” he added. In light of this, the President “refused to send another generation of Americans into a war that should have ended years ago for the United States.” For this reason, even a year and a half after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the decision made for Biden remains “the right one” and from which “lessons were drawn that are already being applied”.
