The President has been attacked for what critics claim was a botched withdrawal from Afghanistan as that country fell to the Taliban in just 11 days, a timeframe the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff declared was faster than any intelligence had predicted.
Calling the evacuation of American citizens and others from Afghanistan "one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history," President Biden declared the "only country in the world capable of projecting this much power on the far side of the world with this degree of precision is the United States of America."
