Former Ambassador Ryan Crocker, who served as the U.S.' chief diplomat to several Middle East countries from the George H.W. Bush administration through that of President Obama, lamented the state of Afghanistan following President Joe Biden's hasty withdrawal.
"It’s a very sad and disturbing time for all Americans; everyone to be looking at the scenes, particularly yesterday and the day before at Kabul airport -- to see that all that was done and attempted in Afghanistan is being brushed away," he told Martha MacCallum on "The Story." Crocker said the Afghan mission was much different than that of the War in Iraq: "We were in Afghanistan for one reason for 20 years to ensure that never again would its soil be used to attack our homeland," he said.More Related News
