Biden himself
White House aka Political Staff
The Pentagon
Intelligence Agencies
State Dept
Obviously Biden's at the top so he takes the most heat but I don't know if he made this decision all by himself, if he listened to political advisors too much (Ron Klain perhaps), or if the Pentagon, CIA, or State fed him bad info that led him to genuinely believe the Afghan govt could hold its own into next year. Things are moving too fast and there's too much "cover your ass" already in motion to know who's predominantly to blame.
The evacuation is a mess. I'm guessing #2 is probably gonna happen too.
