Biden rejects Taliban takeover concerns

Published

As US troops continue to be withdrawn from Afganistan, US President Joe Biden has rejected claims that a Taliban takeover of the region is “inevitable”

Speaking from the White House, Biden defended his administration’s decision to have soldiers come home, following reports of deteriorating security in the war-torn nation.

The president confirmed that the US military operation will officially conclude on August 31, which is slightly before the initial proposed deadline of September 11.

The US will also begin evacuating Afghans who aided military and security operations as early as this month.

Biden says his country’s military commanders advised him that once the decision to end the war was made, “speed is safety” and the withdrawal had to be “swift”.

In April, Biden announced that he would cease operations in Afganistan and bring an end to America’s longest war

U.S. Vice President, Joe Biden takes the time to talk to more than a hundred airmen and soldiers after the United States Forces-Iraq ceremony in the Al Faw Palace at Victory Base Complex, Iraq, Dec. 1, 2011. The ceremony commemorated the sacrifices and accomplishments of U.S. and Iraqi service members. Vice President Biden shook hands, took pictures and provided each service member a coin.

But some experts are concerned that the lack of support by the US will result in the Taliban gaining increased power.

Most significantly, many fear the terror group will overrun Kabul within months.

But, Biden says Afghans have the right to decide how they want their country to be run… and it’s time for the US to depart.
