Lindsey Graham: Biden 'paving the way' for another 9/11 with Afghanistan withdrawal

Lindsey Graham warned that President Biden is "paving the way" for another 9/11 with his commitment to fully withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan by September. .

"With all due respect to President Biden, you have not ended the war, you've extended it," the South Carolina Republican said during a Capitol Hill press conference.

The new date set by Biden actually pushes back the May 1 deadline established under a peace agreement between former President Donald Trump and the Taliban last year (which Graham also criticized).

He pointed to the total withdrawal of troops from Iraq in 2011 under former President Barack Obama, which critics say led to the rise of ISIS

"The likelihood of this happening again is going through the roof after President Biden's decision today," Graham said

Biden's announcement came just one day after a new intelligence report offered a bleak assessment of peace prospects in Afghanistan, with American intelligence officials agreeing that a peace deal is unlikely in the next year. The report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence also warned "the Afghan Government will struggle to hold the Taliban at bay if the coalition withdraws support."
