According to Rep. Barbara Lee, President Biden’s administration cannot be blamed for the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Lee made this statement during her appearance on CNN, where she placed the majority of the blame on former President Donald Trump. When asked if President Biden deserves any blame for the way the withdrawal spiraled out of control, Lee responded by stating that the administration does not deserve any blame. She highlighted the fact that Trump had made an agreement with the Taliban, and also pointed out that the State Department and those involved in the end of the Afghanistan war did their best despite the challenges faced. However, she acknowledged that the process could have been smoother.
These comments come after the State Department published a formal evaluation of the Afghanistan withdrawal, more than a week ago. The report concluded that both Trump and Biden had insufficient senior-level consideration of potential challenges during the withdrawal. The report was based on over 150 interviews conducted by the State Department over the course of 90 days and was made public on June 30.
The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in the collapse of Afghan government forces against the Taliban, and tragically, 13 U.S. service members lost their lives in a suicide bombing during the evacuation at Kabul airport.
