It\u2019s the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/08\/commanders-involved-in-chaotic-afghanistan-withdrawal-say-white-house-state-department-dismissed-warning-signs\/\">insight<\/a> into just how unprepared the Biden administration appeared to be with regard to the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/15\/taliban-fighters-enter-kabul-afghan-president-ashraf-ghani-flees\/\">Afghanistan<\/a> withdrawal, and its findings were based on the sworn testimony of multiple commanders.<\/p>\n<p>NBC News\u2019 Lester Holt highlighted the report during his interview with Biden, noting that multiple military officers said \u201cthe administration ignored &nbsp;the handwriting on the wall\u201d regarding the fall of Kabul and the evacuation process. Biden denied that any fraction of the report rang true to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, no,\u201d the president insisted. \u201cThat\u2019s not what I was told.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden continued, reiterating his administration\u2019s stance that while \u201cthere is no good time to get out,\u201d there was no option to remain in Afghanistan. When Holt pressed the president for clarification on whether he rejects the Army investigation\u2019s findings, Biden answered affirmatively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I am. I\u2019m rejecting them,\u201d the president declared emphatically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Army investigation followed the Aug. 26 <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/26\/pentagon-kabul-airport-explosion-afghanistan-taliban\/\">suicide<\/a> bombing outside of the Kabul airport.
