there it sounds like the prime minister is far more understanding of joe biden did, deciding to leave afghanistan after 20 years than many of us domestic opponents. there were a lot of members of the prime minister s own party who were very outspoken, and some of them we had on msnbc even, who disagreed with the way the americans withdrew from afghanistan, believed much more effort should have been made before the withdrawal of american troops to get u.s. allies out and nato and coalition allies out, and they didn t like the way it was handled. there were members of his own party that didn t like the withdrawal at all and felt that some remanent of american forces should have stayed there with european forces to try to mount a campaign to get coalition forces to say there even without the united states, believed the commitment should carry on. the prime minister himself was always more ambivalent about that position. even at the time of it,
took office in january, and his administration failed to expedite the process to get these afghan allies out, despite months of warnings. this as biden administration officials tell cnn the white house was hoping to now publicly move on to other domestic challenges. we re covering this story from across the globe. barbara, i want to start with you. listening to this pentagon briefing today, what stood out to you the most? it was so interesting because today was not the first time defense secretary austin and general milley, chairman of the joint chiefs, had issued statements trying to reassure veterans and the troops and americans that military service in afghanistan in that 20-year war was actually worth it. and nobody s exactly declaring victory here. they talked at length about the challenges, mental health challenges facing the troops. general milley talked about pain and anger. so i asked him where his pain and anger came from.
evacuation date. we were going to stay there. sean: this is what a week, a frail, and a cognitively compromised presidency looks like. we tried to warn you. people are dying, our allies have lost faith, our enemies are completely emboldened tonight, hostile regimes are salivating. joe biden doesn t even seem to grasp what is happening. in fact, over the past few weeks, he essentially bragged that afghanistan s withdrawal was going great. jen psaki said it is going perfectly. he planned for every contingency after all. remember this? [indistinct] i would say that this is on track to be the largest airlift in u.s. history, and that is bringing american citizens out, it is bringing our afghan partners out, it is bringing allies out, so no, i would not say that is not anything but a success. we were clear-eyed about the
that was a speech about vaccine boosters. biden is living in an alternate reality tonight and so is his clueless press secretary because today, jen psaki referred to the ongoing evacuation in kabul as a huge success while the people on the ground begged to differ. you might want to watch, circle back and learn. take a look. i would say that this is now on track to be the largest airlift in u.s. history. i m sure if they capture me, they will kill me. this is the wrong policy of the united states. when i was there, i got really scared. i came back. bringing american citizens out, bringing our afghan partners out, and bringing allies out. i spent half of my life with the u.s. and now they left me behind.
