Biden Administration Passes Blame to Trump for Deadly Afghanistan Withdrawal – By Kristina Wong (Breitbart) / Apr 7 2023
The Biden White House on Thursday blamed former President Donald Trump for the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal after recently completing an internal review, despite President Joe Biden being in office for about eight months at that point, claiming that their options were restricted and their time limited.
The Biden White House released a 10-page summary of that review, conducted by the Biden National Security Council, of other reviews done by various government agencies, including the Departments of Defense and State. The summary was released to White House reporters only 10 minutes before a briefing on the review, giving reporters little time to read its contents and formulate questions.

At the briefing, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby repeatedly shifted blame to the Trump administration for negotiating a peace deal with the Taliban that he suggested the Biden administration had no choice but to follow or else face renewed war with the Taliban. And he also blamed the intelligence community and Biden’s military advisers for giving the president flawed intelligence that the Taliban were not going to take over Kabul as quickly as they did.
