As Twitchy reported earlier, Defense Department spokesman John Kirby appeared in the press briefing room Thursday to play up the Biden administration’s finding that the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster was President Donald Trump’s fault; the only reason it looks like President Joe Biden’s screw-up is that he was “severely constrained by conditions” set by Trump. Biden certainly didn’t feel constrained by any of Trump’s executive orders when he took office, but this he couldn’t do anything about.

Kirby did his best Baghdad Bob impression, claiming that “For all this talk of chaos, I just didn’t see it.” He missed the video of Afghan men falling to their deaths after clinging onto landing gear? He missed the suicide bomber who killed 13 American service members? He didn’t see the videos of mothers handing their infant children to Marines guarding the barrier around the airfield?

Kirby wasn’t done yet, though. He did claim it was “ludicrous” that the U.S. left millions of dollars of military hardware in Afghanistan for the Taliban to use. He’s right — it was billions of dollars worth of hardware.

Just a couple of weeks ago the Taliban released photos showing just some of the equipment left behind after the U.S. bugged out.

The Afghanistan withdrawal was such a disaster that even the mainstream media couldn’t find a way to cover for Biden.

Any fact-checkers working today?

We did see it … they left billions in equipment as well as an untold number of American citizens and allies loyal to the United States.
