His objective was get out by September 11 so that he could have a September 11 celebration. So, his calculation was those thirteen lives and potentially way more were worth his political celebration, not a national security objective. That\u2019s why we couldn\u2019t get out safely. Because he wasn\u2019t basing it upon what was good for national security.
