Biden Touts Evacuations From Afghanistan But Warns ‘A Lot Could Still Go Wrong’

"There is no way to evacuate this many people without pain and loss," the president said.
President Joe Biden touted on Sunday the surging number of Afghanistan evacuations carried out so far by the United States, but acknowledged that such a massive operation does not come “without pain and loss.” In a televised address from the White House, Biden said that the U.S has evacuated 28,000 people out of Afghanistan since Aug. 14, including about 11,000 people over the weekend. That brings the total evacuated by the U.S. to about 33,000 since July, though the president stressed that “we have a long way to go, and a lot could still go wrong.” “Let me be clear, the evacuation of thousands of people from Kabul is going to be hard and painful no matter when it started, when we began,” Biden said. “It would have been true if we had started a month ago, or a month from now. There is no way to evacuate this many people without pain and loss, [like] those heartbreaking images you see on television. It’s just a fact.”
