He wanted to keep the illusion going long enough to cover his Aug. 31 self-imposed deadline to withdraw US troops and have a victory lap on September 11th, when he would preen as the first president to end the forever war.<\/p>\n<p>So he asked Ghani to trick up an event to make it look as if he had a plan to push back on the Taliban to reassure America\u2019s allies who were beginning to question Biden\u2019s timetable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know whether you\u2019re aware,\u201d said Biden, \u201cjust how much the perception around the world is that this is looking like a losing proposition .\u2009.\u2009. so the conclusion I\u2019m asking you to consider is to bring together everyone from [ex-Afghan Vice President Abdul Rashid] Dostum, to [ex-President Hamid] Karzai and in between. If they stand there and say they back the strategy you put together, and put a warrior in charge, you know a military man .\u2009.\u2009. in charge of executing that strategy, and that will change perception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghani tried to explain that the situation was dire: \u201cMr. President, we are facing a full-scale invasion, composed of Taliban, full Pakistani planning and logistical support, and at least 10-15,000 international terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He begged for US air support. \u201cWhat is crucial is, close air support .\u2009.\u2009. a very heavy reliance on air power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Afghan army was based on the US model, which relies on air support for enemy strikes, ferrying the wounded, and so on. But the contractors who serviced Afghan aircraft had left, leaving the Afghan army exposed.<\/p>\n<p>Biden offered conditional air support, in return for Ghani going along with his ruse, but only until his Aug. 31 deadline.
