Biden defends departure from 'forever war,' praises airlift from Afghanistan

A defensive US President Joe Biden called the US airlift to extract more than 120,000 Afghans, Americans and other allies to end a 20-year war an “extraordinary success,” though more than 100 Americans and thousands of Afghans remain behind. Biden vigorously defended his decision to end America's longest war and withdraw all US troops ahead of an August 31 deadline. “I was not going to extend this forever war,” Biden declared from the White House. "And I was not going to extend a forever exit.”
