CNN's Clarissa Ward said Afghans would be frustrated by Biden's remarks because it didn't address the core issue for Afghans.
The president conceded that the events of the past week"did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated," but saidBiden also maintained that the U.S. would continue to support the Afghan people."We will lead with our diplomacy, our international influence, and our humanitarian aid," he said."We'll continue to push for regional diplomacy and engagement to prevent violence and instability.
Tapper also noted on his show that Biden had deflected much of the blame for the Taliban's swift takeover to Afghans."The president said that the buck stopped with him, but, in fact, the speech was full of finger-pointing and blame, especially for the Afghans," Tapper said.who has been reporting from Kabul in recent days"I think to Afghans, a lot of this will sound like hollow words, Jake," Ward responded.
Their grievance, she explained, was not about whether or not the U.S. should withdraw from Afghanistan, but the"catastrophic manner of this withdrawal." US President Joe Biden speaks about the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan from the East Room of the White House August 16, 2021, in Washington, DC."Plenty of Afghans understand that it's Afghanistan's duty to defend itself, that the U.S. couldn't fight this war for more decades. They understand that," she said.
"Their issue, their grievance is with... the catastrophic manner of this withdrawal. And there was very little there in terms of stepping up to the plate, assuming responsibility or even, dare I suggest it, issuing some kind of an apology to the Afghan people."
