Biden vs Biden: president takes new tone on Afghanistan compared to earlier in career
Fox News
President Biden's tone on Afghanistan, particularly concerning nation-building, has drastically shifted over the years.
"Remember why we went to Afghanistan in the first place? Because we were attacked by Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda on Sept. 11, 2001," Biden said on Aug. 31 as he addressed the nation following the withdrawal. "We delivered justice to bin Laden on May 2, 2011 – over a decade ago." "We had no vital interest in Afghanistan other than to prevent an attack on America's homeland and our friends," he continued.More Related News
