Politico: White House Wants Applause for Afghan Evacuation but Created the Deadly CrisisWendell Husebø 25 Aug 2021
The White House sought congratulations this week for a deadly Afghanistan evacuation they told Americans would not be necessary and which nobody can verify.
The Biden administration, focusing on the specifics of the chaotic evacuation effort that encompasses flying thousands of evacuees out of the country on short notice, is framing the operation as “over performing” historic standards and “defying expectations.”
The White House even compared the evacuation to the Berlin airlift post-World War II.

"There has been a considerable amount of time today where there haven't been departures," Brigadier General Dan DeVoe of the US Air Mobility Command told reporters.
