Then-Vice President Joe Biden was right when he urged then-President Barack Obama to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen said Sunday, adding that the US could have left Afghanistan earlier.
"I thought we could turn it around, obviously, I was wrong," Mullen, who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, told ABC News on "This Week."
Mullen also said that the US should have withdrawn its troops after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in 2011. "I think in retrospect, yeah we should have (left) ... I don't think it was possible for us to just abruptly walk away right after we killed bin Laden, but clearly we could have earlier than we did," he said.

If only Milley had any honor he would resign.
Where’s the guy whose first name is a part of an ass and last name is Powell?
Better that no Military brass show face for the indefinite future. An embarrassing disgrace to the Country.
Yeah man a few thousand American Troops put the fear of allah in the taliban.
Now there will be mass killings and women who can read will have their eyes cut out.
I guess we go back to just bombing the #@@@ out of anything that looks remotely like a terrorist camp
Well then we’ll need the ultimate in precision guided weapons, because the terrorist camps will soon be in our own backyards after the leftists in government succeed in importing a million or two from Afghanistan.
Why didn’t that POS just say “Whoops ?”
Is this CNN’s attempt to try and make it seem like Biden was right in the past and not a complete idiot?
Of course but I find it funny no mention of Obama.
It was Trump who should take the credit for getting us out.
Obama and Biden led the failed “surge” including this admiral i’m guessing. Remember that? it was between 2009 and 2012.
Obama has been quiet. He called Afghanistan “the good war”.
Mike Mullen can kiss my MAGA @$$!!
LOSERS!!!! YOU’RE ALL DEMOCRAT DEMOCRAT LOSERS !
But if he resigned, would he still have access to the commissary's cosmetics department?
‘I thought we could turn it around, obviously, I was wrong’
These b*#tards make a career ot of being wrong. Who was it that said this about generals...? ‘Remove one loser and there are 15 more right behind him, just like him, kissing his a&@.’
The Architect behind the Coup against Trump.
Mullen and Milly, two idiots.
The great US military was never this bad.
The current miles leadership is a joke.
