There's more than enough blame to go around. All four presidential administrations (Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden) and the Congresses of 2001-2021 own a share.
Generals and admirals — and I include myself — senior diplomats, and top intelligence leaders got it wrong over and over from start to finish.
Finally, the American people got it wrong. Our government, elected and appointed, works for us. We wanted a response to 9/11. We got that. Then we lost interest. The Taliban did not.
— Retired Lt. Gen. Daniel Bolger, Troop Commander - Afghanistan
