Rep. Adam Schiff on Afghan crisis: This looks like a 'military planning failure'
Fox News
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., rejected President Biden's assertion that the ongoing chaos that has erupted in Afghanistan amid the military withdrawal was inevitable.
"I'm not ready to reach a conclusion- certainly none of the intelligence suggested it would collapse overnight the way it did within a matter of days that Kabul would fall, but nonetheless, you would presume that there would be military planning along any foreseeable contingency to avoid this kind of difficulty where we would have thousands of Americans who are at risk of being stranded," Schiff continued. When asked by MSNBC host Ari Melber if he thought the issue was the "military planning" or whether it was the "decision-making process" of President Biden, Schiff responded by expressing support for the decision to withdraw the troops from Afghanistan but still indicated that things went awry in the planning.More Related News
