Biden privately defiant that he didn't botch Afghanistan withdrawal: book

Behind closed doors, President Biden strongly believes that he made the right decisions on the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal that led in part to the deaths of 13 American soldiers, according to an upcoming book.

An excerpt from "The Internationalists: The Fight to Restore Foreign Policy After Trump," obtained by Axios, suggests that Biden remains defiant that the history books will look favorably on his decision to leave Afghanistan after American troops spent 20 years fighting the nation's longest war.

Following the withdrawal, "no one offered to resign, in large part because the president didn't believe anyone had made a mistake. Ending the war was always going to be messy," author Alexander Ward writes.

Biden allegedly told his top aides, including White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, that they had done their best given the situation and vowed to stand by them.

"There wasn't even a real possibility of a shake-up," a White House official told Ward.

The author claims that Biden knew he was making promises to get people out of Afghanistan that he could not keep as confusion and chaos unfolded at the Kabul airport.

Evil Joe lied and Americans died.  He FAILED.  There's no other way to look at this.

Anybody still want to buy the theory that he’s going to be forced to resign?

He thinks his tenure has been absolutely wonderful for the American people

Agreed.  And why would they need to replace him?  Look who his opponent is.

Democrats put a system in place in 2020 that will assure them an election victory no matter what.  And four years later, Republicans haven't done a single thing to block it.
