Lindsey Graham: The Decision to Abandon Afghanistan Is the Biggest Mistake Since 9/11

‘We have that terrorist organization in charge of Afghanistan now’

EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: "Yeah, I said last night that the Biden administration is the most incompetent group of people in my lifetime, in terms of running our government. The same people in charge of the border are also in charge of Afghanistan. Now, what does it matter that we missed it by 100 and something percent in terms of American citizens? You know why the others are not ready to come? Because the Taliban won’t let them. They’re going to extort us. They’re going to use all these Americans to extort us and the international community to get assistance to the Taliban. We’re in a terrible spot. ISIS is getting stronger. The Taliban does not have the capability to defend America against al Qaeda and ISIS. Only we can do that. The decision to abandon Afghanistan is the single biggest mistake anybody's made since 9/11. We've given safe haven to ISIS and al Qaeda. We have a terrorist organization in charge of Afghanistan. We have Americans under the control of a terrorist organization. We have thousands of Afghans who fought along our side, bravely abandoned. Who's going to help us in the future? This is a disaster at so many levels. And if they don’t change policy at the border and Afghanistan, it’s just a matter of time before we have another 9/11 coming from Afghanistan, most likely through the southern border."
