Rep. Bacon to Newsmax: Biden Fled Afghanistan to Meet a Campaign Promise
Washington,
August 23, 2021
President Joe Biden went forward with the quick military withdrawal from Afghanistan to meet a campaign promise and the situation created the "worst security debacle in our generation," Rep. Don Bacon, a retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general, told Newsmax Monday.
"It's been a disaster and the DOD (Department of Defense) and the intelligence community did advise against this rapid withdrawal of our forces," the Nebraska Republican said on Newsmax's "National Report." Bacon was responding to comments from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who said there was no way to predict the Taliban would have taken control of Afghanistan in just 11 days.
