It's now a fact, with Tuesday's Senate testimony shredding President Biden's nonsensical fictions about Afghanistan and confirming that he alone made the fateful decisions that created the chaotic and deadly withdrawal.
Biden repeated his denial, but added a caveat: "No. No one said that to me that I can recall."
Beyond al Qaeda's continuing efforts to strike us, giving Taliban control of Afghanistan completes what one analyst calls a mega-terror state in the region, with Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan sharing borders.
Had Biden followed the recommendations for keeping troops there, she insisted, the US later "Would have had to increase the number of troops, would have been at war with the Taliban, we would have more US casualties."
It is premised on the idea that Aug. 31st was a firm deadline for withdrawal, but that's a deadline the Biden team set for itself.
It had already gone well beyond the May 1st deadline in the Trump agreement, so as even Sen. Mitt Romney has pointed out, Biden trapped himself in a deadline of his own making.
Worse, Biden initially wanted the withdrawal to be completed by Sept. 11, hoping it would lead to a celebration of the end of the war.
