- I think the best day to have not had the war in Afghanistan
was when we started it,
and the next best day is tomorrow.
I don't think there's ever a bad day
to end the war in Afghanistan.
We supported President Biden's decision to withdraw,
but to not plan for the eventuality
and to still have no plan is an insult to our country.
- We won in Afghanistan.
I pray that we will not be there indefinitely.
And I'm still in shock as to how badly
the withdrawal has transpired.
- The deal with the Taliban is not supposed to come
until the next spring, but you know what?
We still continue to spend dollars.
We still continue to put our troops at risk over there,
and we're not seeing any measurable progress.
A failure on the part of this administration
to understand the reality of what Taliban might do.
As we've watched the disastrous evacuation of our troops,
we can't help but get very agitated.
- They're not going to support
these endless wars in the Middle East.
They're just not. I mean, the American people,
they look at what we're doing in Afghanistan.
They look at what we're doing in Syria,
and they say, "Why are we there again, exactly?"
This is the right decision to make.
The former president wanted to withdraw from Afghanistan.
It's time.
- Missouri senator Josh Hawley placed the blame
on the President, saying, "Joe Biden is responsible.
It is now clear beyond all doubt
that he has neither the capacity nor the will to lead.
He must resign."
