Washington: President Joe Biden on Thursday said the US military mission in Afghanistan would conclude on August 31, say “safe speed” because the United States seeks to end the war for almost 20 years.
“We did not go to Afghanistan to the Build nation,” Biden said in a speech to renew his sustainable government efforts to end the US war in Afghanistan.
“Afghan leaders must gather and drive towards the future.” Biden also strengthened his decision justification to end US military operations even when the Taliban progressed rapidly in a significant state plot.
Efforts to explain their thoughts in Afghanistan came when administration in the past few days has been repeatedly trying to frame conflict as a decision made by Biden after concluding it is a military solution “does not have a military solution.” “How many more, how many thousands of girls and sons of Americans are willing to risk?” Biden said to those who called for A.S.
to extend military operations.
He added, “I will not send other generations of Americans to fight in Afghanistan, without reasonable hopes of achieving different results.” Biden said he did not trust the Taliban but trusted the Afghan military capacity to defend the government.
Before his speech, the Secretary of the White Press Building Jen PSaki said Biden administrative officials always anticipated “uptick” in greater violence and chaos because US withdrawal moved forward.
He added that it extended the involvement of the US military, considering that former President Donald Trump had agreed to withdraw US forces from Afghanistan in May 2021, would cause escalation of attacks on American forces.
“The question basically faces it after 20 years he will do more American troops for civil war in Afghanistan,” said PSAKI.
Biden said “very impossible” that one government would control Afghanistan after US withdrawal, and urged the Afghan government to reach an agreement with the Taliban.
The President added that there was no “mission achieved” moment when the US war ended.
“The mission was achieved because we got Osama bin Laden and terrorism did not come from the part of the world,” he said.
