U.S. Secretary of State Blincoln said that he spoke to former Afghan President Ghani on the 14th, the day before the Taliban took over the Afghan capital, Kabul.
Blincoln complained that then-President Ghani had said he would fight to the death and fled the next day.
U.S. Defense Secretary Austin also said the 11-day collapse was something no one expected.
Austin admitted that military and intelligence forecasts were completely wrong, saying he had estimated that it would take months or even a year or two before the Afghan government collapsed.
As the chaos at Kabul Airport, the only escape route, continues, the threat of the Islamic State (IS) has grown, resulting in an emergency.
A terrorist group that claims to be a branch of IS is known to be threatening the area around Kabul Airport, and the US government is seeking alternative escape routes.
It is said that they are also considering sending additional U.S. troops to escape operations.
