Lara Logan: Why Are We Accepting Defeat in Afghanistan?

RUSH EXCERPT:

LOGAN: “The Chinese are crowing today, all over the state news agency and they are mocking Joe Biden in the United States. And so we are accepting this defeat that puts this country in jeopardy and the second thing that I think is a defining, real question here is we are also accepting the idea that if you criticize this, you are affect advocating to stay in Afghanistan and that is false. There are many other options without staying in Afghanistan and most importantly, this is not just about Afghanistan. This doesn’t just empower Al Qaeda as the a terrorist, it empowers every enemy the United States has. He doesn’t just discourage the allies we have in Afghanistan, it tells every nation on Earth we are a terrible ally. Friends like this, you don’t need enemies. You can’t do this alone. For our security globally, we need friends. When we needed help, we went to the Afghans and said please help us and I’ll tell you what an Afghan leader said to me today, every meeting began with we won’t betray you again or abandon you again, we made a mistake and we promise you this time we won’t do it and then the Iranians were telling us and saying America will abandon you again. We are your neighbor, we will be here when they do and what you are seeing has a Biden administration proving that every enemy of America and everything they’ve ever said about this country is the truth.”
