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.

YES. YOU. AND. YOUR. BOSS. MOST. CERTAINLY. DID. YOU. STUPID. LYING. SACK. OF. TREASONOUS. SH!T.
And, on top of that ...
Just a couple of weeks ago the Taliban released photos showing just some of the equipment left behind after the U.S. bugged out.
Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) ~ The Taliban have released new pictures of some of the military equipment left behind in Afghanistan by the U.S. Army.
The Afghanistan withdrawal was such a disaster that even the mainstream media couldn’t find a way to cover for Biden.
Andrew Follett (@AndrewCFollett) ~ He's right ... we left behind BILLIONS of dollars in equipment ... including extremely sensitive stuff.
James Hutton (@JEHutton) ~ Up is down, dark is light. Kirby has become the gaslighting spokesbot for the Biden administration. He’s a willing stooge for an administration that is devoid of former military.
Kerry (@K1erry) ~ Um ... U.S. Left $7 Billion In Military Hardware In Afghanistan As Taliban Took Over, DOD Reportedly Finds

גי דוד - Super Free Man (@DBCWriter) ~ His argument is that it wasn’t ours ... it was theirs ... because we gave it to them? Jen Psaki herself said in 2021 their intention was NOT to leave behind the 5-7 billion dollars worth of aircraft, guns, vehicles, ammunition, and specialized equipment. Which is it, @WhiteHouse?
Bob Kirby is such a weasel. He must be taking lessons from Billy Jeff Clinton.
Mr Samson (@guy_next_to_me) ~ Kirby says “we didn’t leave the stuff in Afghanistan. We turned it over to the Afghan defense forces days before they were routed by the Taliban because we abandoned them.” 🤔
Samuel Soehnel (@SamuelSoehnel) ~ This guy is unbelievable.
Yep, Baghdad Bob Kirby is all kinds of SPECIAL.
