The Atlantic's Packer: 'No Need' for Marines to Die in Kabul Attack, Biden Refused to Do Things He 'Was Urged to Do'

On Monday's broadcast of CNN's "The Lead," George Packer, a staff writer at The Atlantic, discussed his article about the exit from Afghanistan and stated that "there were many things" that the Biden administration could have done to handle the evacuation of Afghanistan that it was "urged to do, again and again, publicly and privately," but didn't do until it was too late, and "there was no need for children to be trampled to death outside the gates of the airport. There was no need for U.S. Marines to be blown up by a suicide bomber as they tried to pull people out of sewage canals. All of that was a result of the failure to plan and to carry out evacuations when there was time."
