Biden ‘Resolute’ In Decision to Pull Out of Afghanistan

David Ignatius: “Biden was said by close associates to be ‘resolute’ in his decision to withdraw U.S. forces, despite the rapidly deteriorating situation and the temporary return of troops to shepherd the sharp reduction in U.S. Embassy personnel.”

“Biden has felt strongly since 2009 that the United States should pursue only a limited mission in Afghanistan, and as president he moved quickly to withdraw troops despite contrary advice from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

It helps that polls show the American public is overwhelmingly behind the decision to pull out.
