Murphy: ‘Absolutely Unrealistic’ to Have Had an Orderly Afghanistan Withdrawal

BLITZER So Senator what ░░░░░░░░ do you think the ░░░░░░░░ Administration bears for what ░░░░░░░░ MURPHY So I think ░░░░░░░░ is absolutely unrealistic to ░░░░░░░░ that in the face ░░░░░░░░ the unplanned unanticipated overnight ░░░░░░░░ of the Afghan government ░░░░░░░░ the Afghan military that ░░░░░░░░ were going to be ░░░░░░░░ to withdraw American forces ░░░░░░░░ personnel and friends of ░░░░░░░░ in an orderly manner ░░░░░░░░ weep at the scenes ░░░░░░░░ that withdrawal I still ░░░░░░░░ for the Americans that ░░░░░░░░ lost But after the ░░░░░░░░ government abandoned post virtually ░░░░░░░░ there was going to ░░░░░░░░ no way for us ░░░░░░░░ conduct that withdrawal in ░░░░░░░░ means that didn t ░░░░░░░░ some amount of chaos ░░░░░░░░ so I think the ░░░░░░░░ made the right decision ░░░░░░░░ think the bulk of ░░░░░░░░ constituents agree that it ░░░░░░░░ better off that the ░░░░░░░░ States is now still ░░░░░░░░ mired in Afghanistan And ░░░░░░░░ there are certainly things ░░░░░░░░ could have gone better ░░░░░░░░ belief that many critics ░░░░░░░░ the president have is ░░░░░░░░ with a few policy ░░░░░░░░ here and there we ░░░░░░░░ have orderly evacuated all ░░░░░░░░ our assets without a ░░░░░░░░ Afghan government I just ░░░░░░░░ is unrealistic BLITZER Senator ░░░░░░░░ Murphy thank you very ░░░░░░░░ for joining us MURPHY ░░░░░░░░ you.”
