You're handwaving away the origin of the botched withdrawal. 'The government did the best it could with the information it had' is not a reasonable defence. They're the ones who collected that information! Billions of dollars sunk into the US intelligence network, and it turns out I could've gotten a more accurate reading of the Afghan people from Mystic Bob's horoscope column!
Thank you, great explanations!
