Biden has no accountability when things don't go right. Just blames others.
But we all know the truth. :rolleyes:

Psaki won't give straight answer when asked which military advisors urged Biden to withdraw from Afghanistan
Let me remind you again of the president’s exchange with George Stephanopoulos on August 19, one that’s now been contradicted publicly by Frank McKenzie and Mark Milley.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But your top military advisors warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops.
BIDEN: No, they didn’t. It was split. Tha– that wasn’t true. That wasn’t true.
STEPHANOPOULOS: They didn’t tell you that they wanted troops to stay?
BIDEN: No. Not at — not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a timeframe all troops. They didn’t argue against that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no one told — your military advisors did not tell you, “No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It’s been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that”?
BIDEN: No. No one said that to me that I can recall

Generals contradict Biden: We told him to leave 2,500 troops in place in Afghanistan
Time to play another round of “Is Biden senile or just a liar?” Gen. Frank McKenzie, today, testifying before the Senate:

Note McKenzie refusing to give Biden wiggle room by allowing the possibility that the advice somehow never made its way up to him. McKenzie and Milley clearly aren’t willing to be the president’s fall guys after warning him what would happen if he followed through on his plan to pull everyone out during the Taliban’s summer offensive. In fact, it was reported more than a month ago that they, Lloyd Austin, and Gen. Scott Miller were “in lock step” in January following Biden’s inauguration in believing that somewhere between 3,000 and 4,500 U.S. troops should remain in Afghanistan to support the Afghan army. Biden dismissed that recommendation, believing that the Pentagon would never condone full withdrawal despite the aimlessness of the war. He wanted out by September 11. They warned him, but did as he told them.
And now they’re going to make him take responsibility for his decision.
Republicans are too:
