YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRecently published confidential documents revealed that senior U.S. officials misled the public about the war in Afghanistan. When former Vice President Joe Biden was asked what he knew about the state of the war during his time in the Obama administration, Biden said, “I’m the guy from the beginning who argued that it was a big, big mistake to surge forces to Afghanistan. Period. We should not have done it. And I argued against it constantly,” he said. Biden is one of the seven Democrats vying for their party's 2020 presidential nomination who met on the stage for the sixth Democratic debate on Dec. 19, hosted by the PBS NewsHour and POLITICO.
