Grim end to Afghanistan war: No 'mission accomplished' or 'moment of celebration,' White House says
Fox News
President Biden won't be taking any victory lap on the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, and instead the White House offered a sober reality that America's longest war just can't be won militarily.
Biden addressed the nation Thursday about his decision to remove U.S. troops from Afghanistan despite the growing threat from the Taliban. During a White House news briefing prior to his remarks, Psaki said while there may be drawbacks to the decision, Biden didn't want to sacrifice more lives and treasure on a war that has gone on for too long. "He is not going to ask another generation of kids to go and serve in Afghanistan in a war that he does not feel can be won militarily," Psaki said. "That is the core driver of his decision here."More Related News
