Blinken admits al Qaeda not 'gone' from Afghanistan despite Biden's claim
Fox News
President Biden on Friday claimed that Al Qaeda was “gone” from Afghanistan, but in a "Fox News Sunday" interview Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted that this is not true.
"As we all know, we went to Afghanistan twenty years ago with one mission and one purpose in mind: and that was to deal with the folks who attacked us on 9/11, to bring bin-Laden to justice, which we did a decade ago, and to diminish the capacity of Al Qaeda to do the same thing again, to attack us from Afghanistan and that, to the president's point, has been successful," Blinken said. Host Chris Wallace pressed the issue, asking him again if Al Qaeda was gone from Afghanistan. Blinken responded by saying that Al Qaeda's ability to carry out another 9/11-style attack was "vastly, vastly diminished."
