Mistakes of this nature that get negative attention increase the risk that those responsible for the scrutinized actions would submit a letter of resignation. None arrived related to the botched withdrawal. Biden also believes that that history books would favorably look on his Afghanistan withdrawal related decisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>An excerpt from &#8220;The Internationalists: The Fight to Restore Foreign Policy After Trump,&#8221; obtained by Axios, suggests that Biden remains defiant that the history books will look favorably on his decision to leave Afghanistan after American troops spent 20 years fighting the nation&#8217;s longest war.<\/p>\n<p>Following the withdrawal, &#8220;no one offered to resign, in large part because the president didn&#8217;t believe anyone had made a mistake. Ending the war was always going to be messy,&#8221; author Alexander Ward writes.<\/p>\n<p>Biden allegedly told his top aides, including National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, that they had done their best given the situation and vowed to stand by them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There wasn&#8217;t even a real possibility of a shake-up,&#8221; a White House official told Ward.<\/p>\n<p>The author claims that Biden knew he was making promises to get people out of Afghanistan that he could not keep as confusion and chaos unfolded at the Kabul airport.<\/p>\n<p>When Biden told ABC News on August 18, 2021, that he would keep troops on the ground until every U.S. citizen had an opportunity to leave, a White House official privately said to Ward, &#8220;There&#8217;s no one here who thinks we can meet that promise.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/biden-privately-defiant-didnt-botch-afghanistan-withdrawal-book\">Fox News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/02\/16\/biden-afghanistan-withdrawal-war-book\">Axios<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Internationalists-Restore-American-Foreign-Policy\/dp\/0593539079\">Amazon<\/a> have additional information on this story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a book written by Alexander Ward of Politico, Joe Biden believed that he made &hellip; <a title=\"Joe Biden believes that history books would positively see his Afghanistan withdrawal decision\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=153264\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Joe Biden believes that history books would positively see his Afghanistan withdrawal decision<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[301,455,613],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-153264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-afghanistan","category-gwot","category-joe-biden"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=153264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153264\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=153264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=153264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=153264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
