President Joe Biden has long publicly defended his controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, but, according to a new book, his remarks were not just out of political convenience—Biden genuinely believes his administration did not make any mistakes during the withdrawal.


"No one offered to resign [after the Afghanistan exit], in large part because the president didn't believe anyone had made a mistake. Ending the war was always going to be messy," said Politico's national security reporter Alexander Ward in his upcoming book The Internationalists: The Fight to Restore Foreign Policy After Trump, according to Axios.

"Biden told his top aides, [National Security Adviser Jake] Sullivan included, that he stood by them and they had done their best during a tough situation," Ward said, adding that a White House official had told him that "there wasn't even a real possibility of a shake-up."

The only person who has lived and possibly made fewer mistakes than Biden is Jesus.  I'm sure he would challenge anyone who said so. :da man:

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

Which is why convincing him to step down is going to be very difficult

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
