National Security Council spokesman John Kirby accidentally told the truth about the Biden-Harris view of the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal: When members of the arms forces criticize you, arrogantly double down.

“Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe,” smirked Kirby in a note he accidentally cc’d a reporter on, referring to criticism from four veterans slamming the flack and his bosses.

This is the attitude taken by a White House that utterly botched our withdrawal from a key geostrategic hotspot.

By a cadre of political careerists who let Afghanistan fall to a bloodthirsty terrorist enemy and saw 13 service members killed in a terrorist attack on Kabul airport.

No use in responding. Pathetic.

And it’s only appropriate that Kirby would blow himself up like this via a mistaken “Reply all” — the story of administration incompetence in a nutshell.

Kirby’s boss, Joe Biden, has displayed an identical callousness.

Checking his watch during the ceremony for the soldiers his failed policies got killed.

Keeping the families of those honored dead at a distance.

Insanely blaming his predecessor Donald Trump for the carnage he himself caused.

Kirby’s plainly rattled by the House Foreign Services Committee’s release of a damning, 350-page report on the catastrophe, the result of a multi-year probe, that places blame squarely on the shoulders of the president he serves.
