Retired General Frank McKenzie In Charge Of Afghanistan Exodus Revisits Withdrawal One Year Later. Says Biden Was Warned Kabul Would Fall When US Troops Left

 

Daily Mail: Commander in charge of Afghanistan withdrawal says he warned Biden NOT to take out all troops and keep a small force of 2,500 and blames Joe and Trump for the chaos in Kabul 

* Gen. Frank McKenzie has retired since overseeing the Afghanistan withdrawal 

* In an interview Sunday to mark the anniversary, he said he advised against exit 

* He said the U.S. should have left a small force to prop up Kabul government 

* And he said the departure was a rare source of agreement for Biden and Trump 

* 'So we had a continuity of objective across two administrations that really allowed the events that occurred to occur in the manner that they did,' he said 

Retired Gen. Frank McKenzie, the commander who oversaw the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, on Sunday laid the blame for the Taliban takeover with Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden and their mistaken decision to remove all troops from the country.

Tuesday marks the first anniversary of the last American soldier flying out of Kabul, at the end of a chaotic evacuation. 

'I advised against withdrawing,' said McKenzie in an interview with Fox News to mark the event.
