USA Today Demands Honesty from Joe Biden About Afghan Intelligence Reports Wendell Husebø 18 Aug 2021
USA Today on Wednesday demanded honesty from President Joe Biden over the White House’s conflicting communications about Afghan intelligence reports.
“Biden administration owes the American public and American allies straight talk under oath about the tragic evacuation from the Taliban takeover,” USA Today published. “Biden offered blame shifting that deserves to be challenged.”
The paper gave an example of Biden’s lack of transparency on July 8, when he acknowledged intelligence reports that indicated Afghanistan would probably collapse but claimed the intelligence reports were “not true.”
“That is not true,” Biden claimed. “They did not … reach that conclusion.”
USA Today pointed to a report by the Washington Post that asserts the “intelligence community was predicting the fall of the Kabul regime within six months of a U.S. withdrawal,” which was shortened last week.
And WaPo is not alone. Breitbart News reported sources from NBC News, New York Times, CNN, and the Wall Street Journal that Biden’s intelligence apparatus believed Afghanistan’s stability was unsure.
“So which is it? Did those forecasts occur and, if so, were they communicated to the president?” USA Today questioned.
