Discontent rises in US against President Biden for supporting the Afghanistan blunder

Washington: US President Biden had backed the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan under the pretext that Al-Qaeda is non-existent in Afghanistan. Besides, Biden also avoided guaranteeing the security of Americans stuck in Afghanistan. Thus, the agitation in the United States is rising against its President. Also, former US State Secretary Mike Pompeo slammed that Biden has delivered the message that the United States cannot be trusted on the international level through his speech. Moreover, senior US Senator Lindsey Graham warned that Biden would be impeached if he fails to rescue Americans in Afghanistan safely.

The Taliban takeover in Afghanistan has completed a week. The Taliban militants are patrolling the streets of the capital city Kabul. Moreover, they are frisking every citizen who is on the way to the airport. Two days ago, Pentagon revealed that over 10,000 Americans are still stuck in Afghanistan. Against this background, ordinary US citizens expected the US leadership to deliver a message to the world and warn the Taliban.

However, President Biden was present in the White House for only four days in the past seven days. This news created havoc among US citizens. Besides, on Friday, Biden started his addressal speech, past the schedule. He also avoided facing the questions of media and escaped. This has angered the US citizens a lot more. Furthermore, after the US Pentagon dismissed the claims made by Biden in his addressal speech on Friday, reactions have appeared on social media that Biden is incapable of leading the United States.

The objective of the United States was to eliminate Al Qaeda, which carried out the US 9/11 attacks. The United States has achieved its purpose, so it is apt to withdraw its army from Afghanistan, said Biden. But the Pentagon confirmed that Al Qaeda is still operational in Afghanistan. Moreover, in his speech, Biden had claimed about agreeing with the Taliban to rescue the US citizens from Afghanistan. But, US senator Marsha Blackburn accused the Taliban of denying US citizens entry inside Kabul airport.

The US leaders and civilians have raised dissent over the safe redemption of US citizens stuck in Afghanistan. Moreover, US Senator Lindsey Graham warned that President Biden would be impeached if the lives of US citizens is under threat or the Biden administration fails to safely rescue US citizens and Afghan refugees.
