Biden Marks the End of the Afghanistan War

In televised remarks, President Biden delivered a defiant explanation of the chaotic withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan: “I was not going to extend this forever war. And I was not extending a forever exit.”

He added: “The bottom line: 90% of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave were able to leave. And for those remaining Americans, there is no deadline. We remain committed to get them out, if they want to come out.”
