Afghanistan - What's going on?

After nearly two decades in Afghanistan, it’s time to recognize that we have accomplished all that we can militarily, and bring our remaining troops home. I support @POTUS’s bold leadership in building our nation at home and restoring our standing around the world. pic.twitter.com/BrDzASXD3G

I am now the fourth American president to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan.

I will not pass this responsibility to a fifth. pic.twitter.com/OpZK1Na5KP

In addition to delivering remarks tomorrow, @POTUS will visit Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery tomorrow to pay his respects to the brave men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan.

Having served on active duty, it’s clear to me the US has the best military in the world. But our military is not designed to prop up foreign governments or change the hearts and minds of a foreign population. Pleased that @POTUS is withdrawing our military from Afghanistan. https://t.co/KR0CynmeA0

It is time to end America’s longest war.

It is time for American troops to come home from Afghanistan.

Pakistan-backed Taliban prepare Afghanistan for a return to Islamic Sharia Law once President @JoeBiden pulls out U.S. troops with their tails tucked neatly in their rear.

I fully support @POTUS' decision to withdraw all US forces from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. Our troops have accomplished the mission they were sent to Afghanistan to accomplish. And they have much for which to be proud. pic.twitter.com/zxRlSlWG5R

Biden to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021, the 20th anniversary of attacks that drew U.S. into war there https://t.co/RWZgyX57uq

We went to Afghanistan because of the horrific attacks on 9/11 that happened 20 years ago.

That cannot explain why we should remain there in 2021.

Rather than return to war with the Taliban, we have to focus on the challenges of the future.
