President Biden is not having second thoughts about his decision to withdraw the US from Afghanistan, the White House says, even as the Taliban takeover of the country gains steam and critics draw parallels to the fall of Saigon.
suggested the Taliban currently controls nearly 60 percent of the country.
“The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese Army, they're not," Biden said on July 8."They're not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There's going to be no circumstance for you to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable."
“The latest news of a further drawdown at our Embassy and a hasty deployment of military forces seem like preparations for the fall of Kabul,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell "We basically gave up on the Afghan government, not just now but all the way back to the start of these talks,” Ryan Crocker, former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan under the Obama administration, told MSNBC. “What President Biden did was to embrace it. He owns it."
