Afghan debacle isn't the first Sullivan and other Biden officials have defended

In defending the botched U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden officials are saying they got bad advice, and that the Intelligence Community's threat assessments as to how quick collapse could come turned out to be wrong.

President Biden's National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is one of the key officials fending off criticism.

The Obama administration, including Sullivan, who was then Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, heaped public blame for the attacks upon a "Spontaneous mob inspired by an anti-Muslim video." However, emails showed all U.S. officials knew from the earliest moments that the attacks were planned and executed by an Islamic terrorist group.

Many observers were aghast that Obama officials hadn't heeded specific terrorist threats nearing the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and didn't put U.S. forces in place in case there was an emergency.

Many are confounded by the lack of foresight by Biden officials in Afghanistan.

In a 2012 email that was kept secret for years, Sullivan told Hillary Clinton that the Intelligence Community was at fault for providing the incorrect information that blamed a video for inspiring the Benghazi attacks, and he says the IC was "Unanimous" about it.

The email from Sullivan to Clinton is dated September 29, 2012, eighteen days after the attacks.
