The failure to evacuate American diplomats and other U.S.personnel; and the 18,000 interpreters (and their families) prior to the withdrawal of U.S. troops has been an epic failure, an embarrassment and a national humiliation. The buck stops with Biden.
The Administration figured the Afghani Government would last 30-90 days, not 30-90 hours.
Failure of intelligence?
James Clapper, former CIA Director under Obama, denied on CNN today that it was a failure of intelligence. -

And shelter in place means what exactly?trublue said:500 out of 4,000 Embassy Staff were flown out of Afghanistan today . . .
Chaos at Kabul Airport . . . Americans encouraged to shelter in place.
What’s the evacuation plan?
All shelter in place without a plan means that eventually their door gets knocked down and they are at the whim of the Taliban …
And let’s be honest … long-term life expectancy at the hands of the Taliban is one of the few things less likely than Ektard getting a recruiting story accurate
