Not only did they not make such a boast i'd bet that both of them would have had a better plan in place to deal with the situation and to heck with the optics, (well Trump would anyway, not so sure about W).
Because if you get right down to it all those civilians will now die because of "optics". To begin pulling their at-risk civilians out while there was still time to do so just wouldn't have been showing the proper confidence in the Afghani puppet government . Because of those optics our government wouldn't do anything at all before it became
publicly obvious that the government would collapse and now it's too late for many of them.
I seem to recall bringing up this issue here last winter and I was assured by some that the Biden administration had a plan but I guess the real plan was to hide out on vacation and do nothing except point fingers at others while the chips (and bodies) fall where they may.
