McConnell: Biden withdrawal leaving 15,000 Americans 'stranded out in the country' at mercy of Taliban
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told Fox News on Tuesday that President Biden's hasty withdrawal strategy has left as many as 15,000 Americans outside Kabul with limited transportation resources to reach the Hamid Karzai International Airport, where the U.S. military has been sent to help with the evacuation effort.
"We hadn't lost a single American soldier in combat in the last year," he said. "It was working. It was working because we went there, we went there to prevent Al Qaeda from being back in full operational mode under the Taliban and to sort of keep the lid on." "My guess is we're going to end up spending way more trying to evacuate people with this slipshod operation." The Senate Minority leader called the situation an "embarrassment" and a "stain" on America's reputation.
