Former Afghanistan ambassador John Bass was pressed to return to Kabul in August 2021. Bass was called by a top State Department official to return to the nation to help lead the US' withdrawal. Bass was so unprepared for the assignment that he had to run to an outdoor store to get gear. I've just been asked to go back to Kabul and support the evacuations," the book quotes him as saying. According to the book, Biden himself would "pepper" Bass with ideas on how to get more evacuees through the airport's gates.

CNN —A group of retired ambassadors, all of whom served as chief of mission at the US Embassy in Afghanistan, have written a letter to congressional leaders pushing them to include the Afghan Adjustment Act in the omnibus spending bill. The legislation “keeps our deep and binding commitments we made to our wartime allies. This is a moral imperative but also ensures we will find future allies in conflicts to come,” former ambassadors Ryan Crocker, Ronald E. Neumann, William Wood, Earl Anthony Wayne, James Cunningham, P. Michael McKinley, Hugo Llorens and Ross Wilson write in the letter being sent Wednesday evening. The letter, organized by AfghanEvac’s Shawn vanDiver and former ambassador Phil Kosnett, stands as a push from respected leaders and experts on Afghanistan that passing the bill is essential to meeting the United States’ obligations. This story is breaking and will be updated.
Însărcinatul cu afaceri american Ross Wilson susţine însă că amplificarea violenţelor în Afganistan este cauzată de talibani, pe care îi acuză că îşi încalcă angajamentele asumate în cadrul discuţiilor de pace, chiar în timp ce forţele SUA îşi continuă retragerea. "Stat Islamic rămâne o forţă puternică, iar acesta este unul dintre numeroasele motive pentru care vom continua să le furnizăm autorităţilor afgane un ajutor în materie de securitate şi contraterorism", a declarat Wilson în interviul acordat luni agenţiei France Presse.Stat Islamic a revendicat atacul asupra moscheii, dar nu şi pe cel asupra şcolii. "Atentatul asupra şcolii şi cel asupra moscheii de peste câteva zile par mai degrabă să fi fost comise de aşa-numitul Stat Islamic", a declarat Wilson, adăugând că elemente ale Al-Qaida continuă de asemenea să acţioneze în ţară. "Dar nu spun asta pentru a exonera pe cineva, şi cu siguranţă nu pe talibani pentru violenţele în care ei sunt direct implicaţi sau pentru ecosistemul de terorism şi de violenţă la care ei rămân profund, profund, profund complici", a adăugat el.În ciuda dezminţirilor talibanilor şi a revendicărilor făcute de Stat Islamic, guvernul afgan pune deseori pe seama talibanilor violenţele împotriva civililor, susţinând că SI a fost învins în urmă cu doi ani în fostul său bastion, provincia Nangarhar din estul ţării.Organizaţia jihadistă a atras atenţia presei în 2014 atunci când şi-a făcut apariţia în zone întinse din provinciile Nangarhar şi Kunar (nord-est). Susţinătorii săi au revendicat apoi atentate comise inclusiv la Kabul, fiind în acelaşi timp atacaţi de forţele americane, afgane şi chiar de talibani.
