White House review of #Afghanistan withdrawal asserts "there were no signs that more time, more funds or more Americans" could have fundamentally changed the trajectory."
Decisions made and lack of planning by the Trump administration limited President Biden's options on the #Afghanistan withdrawal, says NSC spokesman John Kirby.
"Transitions matter. That's the lesson learned here and the incoming administration was not afforded much of one," adds NSC spokesman.
"This is the result of months and month of work" by numerous US government agencies to review the #Afghanistan withdrawal, says NSC spokesman Kirby. "No effort here to obfuscate or bury something." (The summary was released 10 minutes before the start of today's White House briefing.)
@w7voa How much to learn the lesson not to start, maintain, and lose stupid wars?

@grumble209 @w7voa

AFGANISTAN beat the UK twice
AFGANISTAN beat the USSR
AFGANISTAN beat Pompeo/trump

@Helderweb @w7voa I hear we've learned our lesson. 🤷
