# The White House after-action review and SIGAR record an Afghanistan intelligence miss

Date: 2023

## The fact

In April 2023 the [White House](/organizations/white-house) released an Afghanistan after-action review, and SIGAR’s lessons-learned record continued to document an intelligence and planning miss around Kabul’s fall.

## Context

Neighbouring 31 August 2021 is the parent end-state. He did not sit as DNI.

31 August 2021 withdrawal is the parent. Abbey Gate is a child of that week.

The President of the United States signs enrolled bills and is Commander in Chief. He does not write a Senate roll-call, a CBP sector tally, an IDF campaign, or a CBO score. A signature is not unique authorship of every title Congress enrolled. Drafting and floor votes remain with Congress. An archived White House (https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/) is the official carrier for this term; current whitehouse.gov is not this administration. Office-holding is not authorship of every later CPI print, encounter table, or foreign campaign.

## Evidence and sources

Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [humanitarian access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) and [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed official admission of an intelligence-and-planning miss is a dated oversight finding on a withdrawal he owned.

## What is established and what is not

Established: April 2023 White House AAR and SIGAR record of an Afghanistan miss, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later casualty coefficient from the PDF, or that SIGAR commanded the 2021 gate.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Intelligence agencies had missed the collapse speed. SIGAR inspected. The 2021 end-state remains a different date.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The White House after-action review and SIGAR record an Afghanistan intelligence miss, not a later speech about The White House after-action review and SIGAR record an Afghanistan intelligence miss.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. The White House after-action review and SIGAR record an Afghanistan intelligence miss on 2023-04-06 is not a licence to treat every later Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average The White House after-action review and SIGAR record an Afghanistan intelligence miss into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He ordered the review as president. Intelligence agencies had missed the collapse speed. SIGAR inspected. The 2021 end-state remains a different date. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
