Dem Rep. Auchincloss on Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal: ‘Joe Biden Had the Moral Courage to Make a Decision’

‘Joe Biden had the moral courage to make a decision that previous presidents had refused to make’

EXCERPT:

AUCHINCLOSS: “It was. It was also the right decision to make, to leave Afghanistan. Joe Biden had the moral courage to make a decision that previous presidents had refused to make because of some cost bias and groupthink. That war had no political endgame. And the first thing a Marine officer learns is that all war is an extension of politics by other means. The national government in Kabul had no agenda and no capacity to build a nation, and so Americans were left holding the bag.”
