Imagine having the gall to describe a Talib takeover, a chaotic evac where Afghans fall to their deaths off planes, a suicide bombing killing 13 Americans & 200 Afghans, & a U.S. drone strike killing 10 Afghan civilians as “safely & effectively drew down our diplomatic presence.”

Sociopathic.
And of course no one at @CFR_org called him out for it — not @RichardHaass and not anyone else in the audience, despite Jake Sullivan giving a speech & taking questions for an hour.
It was a shit show. The government collapsed. The Taliban took over. 13 Americans died. Many dozens of Afghans died. We got tens of thousands of unvetted Afghans out and left hundreds of Americans & tens of thousands of Afghan allies behind. Anyone pretending otherwise is lying.
