"The President decided that this was the right thing to do and the right time to do it," says Pentagon Press Secy. John Kirby of the US deploying 3000 troops to Afghanistan to help evacuate personnel.
"A prudent decision to scope down, to reduce our civilian footprint in Kabul, while we still have an environment where we can do that safely. So that's what the US military is going to be doing." says Pentagon Press Secy. John Kirby of the US deploying 3000 troops to Afghanistan to help evacuate personnel.
McCain torched the execution of the military withdrawal and the turmoil that has been caused on the ground, taking a swipe at President Biden.
"Even if you thought leaving Afghanistan was the right decision -this is a reckless, dangerous, blundering, and embarrassing withdrawal," McCain began a series of tweets. "We left our translators, women, children, people who helped us for 20 years to be slaughtered & our president just called a lid until Wednesday."

McCain then invoked her father, the late U.S. Sen. John McCain, insisting he'd be enraged with the Biden administration's decision to pull the troops out of Afghanistan.
"Democrats like to wax poetic a lot about what my dad would have done and said (most of the time reinventing some weird fantasy of who he was). Let me tell you one god damn thing - he would be raging in public and to President Biden about this withdrawal in Afghanistan. Raging," McCain wrote.
"This is an absolutely shameful moment for our country. Shame on this administration. God be with our allies and the women and children in Afghanistan," she added.
The conservative pundit also predicted the return of the Islamic State, writing "Also - welcome to ISIS 3.0. Give credit to the Biden administration."

Give credit to the Biden administration.
McCain officially bowed out of the ABC daytime program after appearing as the go-to conservative co-host for nearly four years.
She had been outspoken with her criticism against President Biden for what she suggested was his lack of support for Israel, his "Neatherthal thinking" swipe at Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and for having Dr. Anthony Fauci as the face of the administration's messaging on the coronavirus outbreak.
