Recent developments have brought to light the Biden administration's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, with new testimonies and official statements revealing significant contradictions and a lack of preparedness. Reports indicate that the State Department officials testified to creating withdrawal plans from scratch, acknowledging the process was rushed and lacked a pre-established emergency evacuation plan. This has led to criticism, especially considering the tragic loss of 13 American lives during the evacuation. Despite the backlash, President Biden has defended the operation, describing it as an 'extraordinary success' and maintaining his stance on the decision to withdraw. A key testimony highlighted that 'I cannot call this evacuation a success', pointing out the Biden contradictions and the absence of a working evacuation plan.
