Episode 236: The Leading Voices on Afghanistan?

In today’s episode of Polilogue, we examine and question the leading voices criticizing the Afghanistan withdrawal. With the exception of an excellent interview on This Week, almost all the shows relied on war hawks and other thought leaders that have preferred and advocated for an American military presence in Afghanistan.Shows discussed State of the Union on CNNFox News Sunday on FOXThis Week on ABCFace the Nation on CBSMeet the Press on NBCResourcesThe media's systemic failure on Afghanistan by Judd Legum on Popular InformationWhere are the anti-war voices? by Judd Legum, Tesnim Zekeria, and Rebecca Crosby on Popular InformationMichale Chrichton’s Travels (Amazon)America’s Afghan War: A Defeat Foretold? by Adam Nossiter (NYT)Intelligence Warned of Afghan Military Collapse, Despite Biden’s Assurances by By Mark Mazzetti, Julian E.
