In April, Biden ordered a full withdrawal from Afghanistan, setting the stage for the end of America's longest war by the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that originally sparked the U.S. invasion.
But as the U.S. withdrawal has neared its end, Taliban gains have accelerated, raising fears the insurgents will overrun Kabul after the U.S. departs. Critics have also compared the situation to the fall of Saigon in 1975.
President Biden rejected the idea that a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan is "inevitable," outlining next steps and defending his decision to withdraw from the 20-year war amid reports of a deteriorating security situation in the country.
Note:
Let the Afghani people rule themselves. War didn't change their minds any way. Some want to live in the fourteenth century. Just a thought.
