White House walks back Biden's failed predictions about Afghanistan withdrawal

According to the White House’s list of talking points for allies defending President Biden’s handling of Afghanistan, the administration knew there was a "distinct" possibility that the capital of Kabul would fall to Taliban insurgents.

The list of talking points, obtained by Fox News, declared that the administration "knew that there was a distinct possibility that Kabul would fall to the Taliban. It was not an inevitability. It was a possibility." "And the administration planned for every possibility," the guidance continued. "There were contingency plans in place for any eventuality — including a quick fall of Kabul. That’s why they were troops pre-positioned in the region to deploy as they have done.""Here's what the president was not willing to do: enter a third decade of conflict and surge in thousands of more troops to fight in a Civil War that Afghanistan wouldn’t fight for themselves," another talking point said. "POTUS said in July that the Afghan military had the capability to fight the Taliban. But they had to demonstrate the will. Sadly, that will did not materialize."
