[THREAD] 2 years ago today, @POTUS announced that the U.S. would withdraw its military from #Afghanistan.

Last week, the WH released a report acknowledging that evacuations should have begun sooner.
That report confirms what #Afghans and advocates predicted and have long known -- that the U.S. did too little too late to get at-risk Afghans to safety.
