#shorts On 4/6/2023, a reporter asked NSC Spox John Kirby, “John, who’s going to get fired over this?

MR. KIRBY: Peter, the purpose of the document that we’re putting out today is to sort of collate the chief reviews and findings of the agencies that did after-action reviews.
The — it’s not — the purpose of it is not accountability. It’s — the purpose of it is —

Reporter: Military leaders were giving advice.

MR. KIRBY: — purpose of it is —

Reporter: It doesn’t sound like it was good.

MR. KIRBY: — to study lessons learned.

Reporter: Do you admit that the intel was bad? So how can President Biden ever trust, when they come into the Oval Office with the PDB, that anything in there is legit?

MR. KIRBY: What I said was —

Reporter: “That intelligence is a mosaic.” What if the mosaic — all the pieces are incorrect?

MR. KIRBY: What I said was intelligence is hard business … This document and this effort isn’t about accountability today. It’s about understanding.

Reporter: But it doesn’t seem like after the country has had a couple months to review this, and as the government has, people don’t have an issue with the decision to order troops out of Afghanistan. It is with the way that this President ordered it done. … There were people hanging off of Air Force jets that were leaving. And you’re saying that you guys are proud of the way that this mission was conducted?

MR. KIRBY: It doesn’t mean —

Reporter: You’re proud of that?

MR. KIRBY: Proud of the fact that we got more than 124,000 people safely out of Afghanistan? You bet … But does that mean that everything went perfect in that evacuation? Of course not … So, yeah, there’s a lot to be proud of, Peter.
