Biden needs to authorize military to save stranded Americans in Afghanistan, Crenshaw says
Fox News
President Biden must authorize the U.S. military to expand the perimeter around the Kabul airport and save Americans who are, in effect, “hostages of the Taliban,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said in a blistering statement late Thursday.
"Two things need to happen, and only Biden can authorize: 1. US military must be allowed to operate outside Kabul airport to get American citizens. 2: Retake Bagram airfield, thus giving us more options for evacuations. Biden created this mess and needs to take decisive action," he tweeted. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., also called on Biden to act swiftly to save Americans who are, in effect, "hostages of the Taliban." Cotton laid into the president over his administration’s "ill-planned, chaotic withdrawal" in the country, which was followed by additional subsequent blunders, including "relying on the Taliban’s good graces to ensure the safety of our citizens."More Related News
