WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden is fighting against losses of personal credibility and serious political capital after several statements in Afghanistan have been opposed – by his own government, by the US military, and with land reality.
Bumbleling through the White House press conference on Friday, Biden claimed that the US mission in Afghanistan was basically since Osama bin Laden was killed and Al-Qaeda “went” from the country, but the Pentagon official said soon after that Al-Qaida, and ISIS , still present in Afghanistan.
In a report released in June, the United Nations also said the Taliban and Al-Qaida remained parallel and showed no indication of a breaking bond.
“Member States report no material change for this relationship, which has grown deeper as a consequence of the marriage personal bond and sharing partnerships in the struggle, is now expected through the second generation bond,” the UN report said.
Administrative officials then loved the statement of the President who said that the meaning of Al-Qaeda has been relegated to the point where else presents a threat to the country, but the critics caught the president to exceed the verbal limit to justify our hasty withdrawal of commitment.
made by its predecessor Donald Trump.
Biden also suggested that Americans stranded in Afghanistan be able to get to Kabul Airport for evacuation without much trouble and the Taliban was working together in allowing them through, but the land report talked about obstacles on the front with a sporadic attack to reach the airport.
In fact, the US Embassy on Friday explicitly asked its citizens to avoid traveling to the airport because of the potential for security threats outside the gate, “unless you receive individual instructions from US government representatives to do so.” The mid-turmoil in front of Afghanistan, the President was appeted for planning to continue his vacation even though the maid said he was still above the situation, pointing back to the White House on Friday and the fact that Delaware the state of his house was almost not a clock away from the capital.
Biden cancels his vacation after criticism.
On Saturday, the President held a national security meeting online and joined, among others, Kamala Vice President Harris, who was also criticized for starting a trip to Southeast Asia in the midst of a crisis in Afghanistan.
The political fight also confuses at home on refugee problems with several right commentators triggering Nativists worrying about the entry of Afghan refugees even though many Republicans are giving asylum to Afghanistan who help us in the mission.
News Fox Pundit Tucker Carlson was among those who suggested the Biden government open the flood gate to refugees to change the country’s demographic balance.
The US State Department has approved 34,500 special immigrant visas, or SIV, for Afghanistan who helped the US military for two decades, and 20,000 were in a pipe waiting for approval.
But the process of evacuating them has been slow amid demands at home that Americans who operate must get the first preference and call for the right examination of Afghanistan.
Many Afghans were evacuated to third countries in the bay to process the entry to the US.
Fiasco withdrawals have given a shadow on Biden’s reputation as a foreign policy teacher.
The right-wing experts stretched him, called him senile, and did not get to the work of the White House, with a while calling his resignation, impeachment, and replacement by asking for the 25th amendment to eliminate the cripple president.
