Mike Pompeo: The Biden admin has consistently tried to blame everyone else for their
failures
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo joins 'The Story' to reject Adm. Kirby's claims Trump admin left them no cohesive plan for Afghanistan withdrawal.
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 administration.
Rear Adm. John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman, said Thursday it was always Biden's intent to end the war, but at the same time "undeniable that decisions made and the lack of planning done by the previous administration significantly limited options available to him."
