* Particularly over failure to spot Taliban's rapid advance
* It was obtained by the Washington Post with a freedom of information request
* Declassified after-action reports support U.S. military commanders and say President Biden's team was indecisive during the Afghanistan crisis
* At least one of the report spans 2,000 pages and details complete confusion
* The Pentagon's standard priority had been to first evacuate American citizens, then lawful permanent residents, then Afghans who aided the U.S.
* On Friday, The White House said Friday that no such reports exist
Joe Biden's dithering withdrawal from Afghanistan has been blamed for worsening the chaos on the ground and putting American lives at risk by a newly-declassified US intelligence report.
Newly-released papers compiled in the aftermath of the August withdrawal found that deadly chaos was only made worse due to indecisiveness among officials with the Biden administration officials in Washington D.C.
Their reluctance to close down the U.S. embassy in Kabul only added to the confusion and made the mission even more dangerous, according to the damning documents.

Confusion during an emergency is common when nobody is in charge. Those in power don’t want to take the blame. We all know Biden is senile and lacks energy to handle a 24x7 crisis.
Biden has taken the Sergeant Schultz defence. He has seen nothing, heard nothing, knows nothing. His generals didn't brief him. They are liars. Meanwhile in Eastern Europe.... Keep ducking 🙈
Good news for Putin. We are doomed.
Biden was always flawed.
Biden could not commit to capturing or killing Osama Bin Laden. Now with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of lives on the line and cognitive decline he is going to be decisive?
Biden had one almost fist fight in hos whole life that we know about and he brought a metal chain to a fist fight.
Coward.
Biden was NOT the person to make a decision on Osama Bin Laden. Like Bush, Biden thought civilians might be killed. Obama and Not Bush got OBL
get honest
11:08 is still fapping.
"Qurayshi holed himself up on the third floor of a building with multiple families that had nothing to do with the Islamic State, effectively using civilians as a human shield, and never left the building, the senior officials said. This led Biden to opt for deploying troops via a helicopter-borne assault rather than launching an airstrike to minimize civilian casualties."

Jihadi leaders often use family and others as human shields. Biden has to bite the bullet. But he is afraid, because all the usual suspects like Amnesty International, Code Pink, Democracy Now, The Squad and others will criticize him and he'll have to hole up in the White House and eat ice cream until, it is all better.
At the least Russia will move in the Donbass.
As a newspaper reader and not privy to NSA data, I give it a 50% to 80% chance that Russia will go into Donbass and stay there and no further.
The establishment will invoke the Cold War but not do much to build up NATO and will instead use this emergency as another excuse to squash the domestic political opposition.
As in "You cannot protest like BLM and ANTIFA. Don't you know there is a COLD War"
or
"Criticiizng our president in this time of crisis is treason"
etc.
