TOPLINE: Over the weekend, the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan was forced to evacuate after the Taliban overtook Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. This comes as a direct result of President Biden withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan without concrete plans to protect Americans and Afghan citizens or prevent the Taliban from taking over the country. President Biden’s poor judgment has fueled the rise of the Taliban, harmed our allies, and put women and children in Afghanistan in danger.   Afghanistan Is Joe Biden’s Responsibility   In April, President Biden announced that he planned to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan by September.     President Biden argued that “we went to Afghanistan because of the horrific attacks on 9/11 that happened 20 years ago,” and instead of returning to war with the Taliban, “we have to focus on the challenges of the future.”   President Biden assured the American people that withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan would proceed “in a secure and orderly way, prioritizing the safety of our troops as they depart.”     In July, after signs and reports that jihadists were capitalizing on reducing U.S. forces in the Middle East, a reporter asked President Biden if it was inevitable that the Taliban would take over Afghanistan. President Biden responded: “No. It is not.”     At the same press conference, President Biden pushed back against comparisons to troops leaving Afghanistan to troops abandoning Vietnam and asserted that “There's going to be no circumstance where you're going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable."     President Biden would later claim on Twitter: “But make no mistake: we have the capabilities to protect the homeland from any resurgent terrorist challenge emanating from Afghanistan.”     Biden was wrong.     Taliban forces captured Kabul, Afghanistan’s national capital, and Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country, and Afghan citizens now fear for their lives.     On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the Taliban will now fly its flag over the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan.     President Biden owns this crisis.     This is President Biden’s Saigon Moment   Now, as Afghanistan falls and President Biden’s predictions are proven wrong, the Biden Administration is shamefully trying to avoid taking responsibility.     In a series of interviews, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken attempted to defend removing U.S. personnel from Afghanistan’s capital amid rapid advances by the Taliban and rejected comparisons to the United States’ exit from Vietnam.     In an interview with CNN, Secretary Blinken was asked whether he thinks Afghanistan now will become a hotbed of terrorism. Secretary Blinken responded, “I can’t tell you what the Taliban is going to do.”   This catastrophe demonstrates that President Biden misrepresented the facts about Afghanistan and cannot make correct decisions about foreign policy.
