The White House Delivers a Secret Report on Afghanistan to Congress

The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden issued a summary of reports prepared after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan on Thursday, stating that "there is no indication that more time, more financial allocations, or more Americans could have fundamentally changed the course." The document is 12 pages long. The White House delivered the secret report to Congress, asserting that Biden's decision to end the war there was the right one. It stated that "no U.S. agency anticipated the Taliban's takeover of Kabul in nine days, nor did we expect the failure of Afghan forces." It added that decisions made by former President Donald Trump's administration and poor planning limited the options available to Biden's administration for withdrawing from Afghanistan.
