“#Biden will own ‘ugly images’ of Afghan withdrawal aftermath<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee accused the Biden administration Sunday of not properly preparing to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan and warned that the president would be responsible for the fallout. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we fully withdraw, the devastation and the killings and women \u2026 fleeing across the border into Pakistan, President Biden is going to own these ugly images,\u201d Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) told \u201cFox News Sunday<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, US forces vacated Bagram Airfield, the hub of the American war effort against the Taliban over the past two decades, without informing the base\u2019s new Afghan commander. That gave squads of looters time to break into the complex and make off with items left behind in barracks and storage tents. <\/p>\n

The Bagram handover marks a major milestone in the withdrawal, which the Pentagon says will be completed by the end of August. President Biden initially announced the pullout would be accomplished by Sept. 11 of this year. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, McCaul said that Afghan President Ashraf Ghani\u2019s team had recently warned him that the removal of US troops from the country would mark \u201cthe year of the jihad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do they mean by that? It means all the young males in Pakistan at the madrassas are poised with the Taliban to pour over into Afghanistan and you\u2019re going to see a major civil war take place,\u201d McCaul predicted. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think, at the end of the day, it\u2019s going to look pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawmaker also accused the White House of having no plan to protect thousands of Afghan interpreters who aided US forces and are at risk of retaliation from advancing Taliban forces. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese interpreters, we told them we\u2019d take care of them and we can\u2019t turn our backs and leave them to die,\u201d McCaul said. \u201cThey will be slaughtered by the Taliban. They\u2019re targeted by the Taliban. We have to get them out of there. There are about 9,000 of them, and I\u2019ve been really pleading with the administration to come up with a plan. They just haven\u2019t prepared for this at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCaul also raised concerns about the size of the 650-strong force that will remain in Afghanistan after the withdrawal, largely to guard diplomats at the US Embassy in Kabul. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I\u2019m from Texas, [home of] the Alamo, and we had 250 Texans [against] 5,000 Mexicans. Didn\u2019t end up so well there. I think the odds are worse in Afghanistan,\u201d he said before warning that US forces may be forced to return to the country before too long. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur vital interests are ISIS and al Qaeda, and we are going to give them a safe haven as the Taliban takes over that nation and that vacuum is going to be filled by terrorists,\u201d said McCaul. \u201cAnd I\u2019m concerned that we will be going back.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
