NSA Sullivan Claims Biden Admin. Did Plan for ‘All Contingencies’

EXCERPT:

SULLIVAN: “Now, our signaling support for the government obviously did not save the government, but this was a considered judgment. When you conclude 20 years of military action in a civil war in another country, with the impacts of 20 years of decisions that have piled up, you have to make a lot of hard calls, none with clean outcomes. What you can do is plan for all contingencies. We did that. The American forces now on the ground HKIA are there because ever contingency planning and drilling we did over the course of months, preparing for a range of scenarios including dire scenarios. President Biden ordered multiple battalions to be pre-positioned in theater and he activated them for deployment before the fall of Kabul. He also put additional battalions on a short string here in the United States. Those battalions have now flowed in as well. Yes, there were chaotic scenes yesterday, but as Admiral Kirby said, even well drawn plans don’t survive first contact with reality and they require adjustments. We’ve made those adjustments.”
