Former secretary of state under President Trump Mike Pompeo fired back at claims from the Biden administration that Trump constrained the conditions of the U.S. pullout from Afghanistan, during which 13 American soldiers died in a suicide bombing while protecting the Kabul airport, and untold numbers of Americans and Afghans eligible for evacuation were stranded. The White House on Thursday released its review of President Biden's fumbled 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan while Trump's indictment continues to dominate the headlines. The 12-page outline called the overall decision to end the 20-year war the right thing for America, but declined to acknowledge any mistakes made by Biden while instead repeatedly criticizing Trump's

Pure lies. Trump had NOTHING whatsoever to do with Traitor Joe's cowardly run and giving $85 billion dollars to the Taliban.

Kirby didn't write the report; he was just the craven messenger. The White House including its puppetmasters are acting like children in their deflecting blame for every policy disaster on Donald Trump when any thinking person knows otherwise.

Do we even know if all of the Americans were able to escape? Are there any still there?

If the retired Admiral Kirby of the U.S.N. had one honorable bone in his body, he would have resigned before he would stand up there and lie in the face of the American people to cover for the corrupt dirtbag in the WH.

How in the heck did people like Austin, Milley and Kirby reach such a high level in the military? Now they knuckle under to a corrupt idiot like Biden.

I’m convinced being a dem for any length of time eats away at your integrity, morality and honesty.

The "war" was pretty much over for us. Sure, we had a huge air base there - just like the ones we maintain in similar questionable locales in Turkey, Djibouti, Kenya, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Any ground action was being handled by the Afghans and there had been no American casualties for over a year. All we were doing was providing air-strike support. Seriously, Trump's team had Afghanistan down to a fine-tuned, well-managed operation. Biden blew it. Period. There is no explanation for what happened.

John Kirby is a disgrace to the uniform he once wore. In the Navy where I served, we were trained not to lie. We were trained to accept responsibility for the decisions we made, not to lay blame on someone else. My training has stuck with me for a lifetime. Kirby’s has apparently slithered away like the snake he is.

The Biden administration has been saying for years that their Afghan withdrawal was great and how proud they were to be a part of it. Now that it has become obvious, even to them that it was a major clusterf*ck Biden’s military leaders tell us it was because the previous administration did not provide them with a plan. So, you didn’t have a plan but you went ahead and bugged out anyway. That pretty much explains the results. To blame your problems on something the previous administration did is weak. To blame them for not telling you what to do is pathetic. Well, WW III is coming and I sure hope to God the Trump administration left you a plan for that….

Kirby is disgusting and he has just finished selling his soul to the devil, and for what...the lying, foolish, stupid, moronic, crooked as hell, waste of flesh...Joe Biden. They can write any damn report they want and stuff it full of lies and attempts to put a shine on that chaos, but the American people, at least most of us, saw with our own eyes what happened and it was a HUGE failure., and it is NOT on Trump, it is all on Biden. So Kirby you can go back to carrying water and kissing Biden's a**, we all know the undeniable truth.

Trump had good reasons not to withdraw and thus did not need a plan. It was not Trumps job to make a withdrawal path for the next president who wanted to withdrawal. Trump did not hold a gun to Biden’s head to have the withdrawal take place sooner than it should have and in the manner in which it was poorly orchestrated. These liberals are insane! This president is such a pathetic clueless incompetent demented dolt!

Nothing can be Biden's fault because he's eating a chocolate-chip ice cream cone.
