Sen. Thom Tillis: Mr. Biden, 70,000 need to get out of Afghanistan. Don't let the Taliban dictate terms

President Biden must accept the reality in Afghanistan that if he is going to live up to his pledge, we cannot be held back by another artificial timeline.
Let’s do the math. We have less than 10 days until the August 31 deadline. As of Friday, there were an estimated 10,000 US citizens, an estimated 10,000 Afghans who have been issued a special immigrant visa (SIV), 40,000 SIV-eligible Afghans, nearly 6,000 U.S. troops, and another 1,000 U.S. personnel at the Kabul airport. That’s nearly 70,000 people to evacuate over 10 days.More Related News
