With a deadline ticking down for America to withdraw from Afghanistan, Republican lawmakers are slamming President Biden for bowing to the Taliban over the August 31 deadline, and even Democratic lawmakers are now warning Americans will likely be left behind when that happens.
President Biden has rejected the advice and pleas of others – from his own advisors to Great Britain’s prime minister, Boris Johnson – to end the deadline. Instead, for whatever reason, he has firmly decided Kabul’s airport will be surrendered to the Taliban six days from today.
That means an unknown number of Americans and Afghan allies will be left in the hands of the Taliban when the last transport plane, and last Army soldier and Marine, leaves the tarmac.
