Joe Biden Warns Of Terrorist Attack If America Doesn't Leave Afghanistan Soon; Takes Swipe At Trump
“Every day we’re on the ground is another day that we know ISIS-K seeking to target the airport and attack both U.S. and allied forces and innocent civilians,” President Joe Biden said Tuesday from the White House, throwing new urgency and specter into the American withdrawal from now Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.
Calling ISIS-K the foe of the Taliban as much as America, and sending many pundits prattling in a new chorus, Biden seemed to be working out a new rationale in real time for sticking to his decision to exit America’s longest war.
“We are currently on pace to finish by August the 31st,” Biden said in a 12-minute speech as both the State Department and Pentagon canceled their respective afternoon briefings. “The sooner we finish, the better. Each day of operations brings added risk to our troops.”
Not for the first time in this foreign policy crisis set to see all U.S. troops out of the South Asian nation by month’s end, the 46th POTUS made sure to take a swipe at the 45th POTUS and former Celebrity Apprentice host as well as calm domestic fears and a burgeoning right-wing reaction.
