Judith Miller: Biden and his generals tell two very different stories about Afghanistan. Which one's true?
Fox News
The advice about troop levels was only one of several issues about which President Biden’s top military brass seemed to contradict his claims.
While Biden called the evacuation of 124,000 U.S. citizens and Afghans and the withdrawal of U.S. forces an "extraordinary success," Milley called it a "logistical success, but a strategic failure."
In an interview on Aug. 19, four days after Kabul fell, Biden denied that his top generals had urged him to keep at least 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan. "No. No one said that to me," he said, adding a politician’s classic wiggle words, "that I can recall."
