National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby attempted to walk back on his statements regarding the sudden U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, now suggesting he 'didn't see' any chaos from the event.
Retired Marine Corps Col. Chris Douglas criticizes the Biden administration's 'ridiculous' claims about the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, said that he doesn't"buy the whole argument of chaos" regarding the sudden U.S.began the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, prompting members of the Taliban to quickly retaliate and take control of the country despite assurances that Afghani forces supplied by the U.S. would keep the country stable.
During an Aug. 24, 2021, White House press briefing, Kirby described the scene of the withdrawal as chaotic, telling reporters in"the first few days" of the event, there was"physical crush and chaos." Despite his initial description of the scene, Kirby recently attempted to walk back on his claim, telling reporters that he"just didn't see" the"chaos" in the withdrawal that led to the deaths of 13 American soldiers.
