re: Who is responsible for coordinating the effort and logistics re: pulling out?

Intel wouldn’t help much if it’s ignored or not read. The end result is the same. Biden and his team assumed that bringing home the troops after 20 years would be a huge political win. What could possibly go wrong? The Taliban would eventually take over, but that would not happen overnight. No one wanted to hear anything that might make the departure look bad. It never occurred to them that the Taliban might lie. Unless someone becomes a whistleblower, we will never know the truth, but this will be used in some political campaigns in 2022 and 2024.
