Sen. Cotton calls Biden Afghanistan withdrawal 'disastrous,' warns of long-lasting impacts
Fox News
Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, called President Biden’s handling of the troop withdrawal from the region “disastrous.”
The Arkansas senator also called the president’s withdrawal "ill-conceived" and "ill-planned," noting that there are "anywhere from 10 to 15,000 Americans stranded behind Taliban lines," who cannot get to the airport. "In effect these Americans are hostages to the Taliban," Cotton said. He also called out Biden by pointing to comments from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who contradicted the president on Friday.More Related News
