and 'accept the risk' of Taliban attacks
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and one of the Senate's most outspoken war hawks, said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Friday that the US military should extend its withdrawal deadline in Afghanistan and risk being attacked by the Taliban.
Graham, who's long supported indefinite American occupations abroad, and his op-ed coauthor, retired Gen. Jack Keane, said the US government must not fully withdraw until thousands of Afghan allies are evacuated. They urged President Joe Biden to keep US troops in Afghanistan past his August 31 withdrawal deadline and create pathways for Afghan allies to travel from across the country to the Kabul airport for evacuation.
"President Biden must keep forces in place long enough to evacuate those to whom we owe a great debt," they wrote. "He must be willing to accept the risk that the Taliban will attack our forces."
They argued it would be "dishonorable" to apply "anything less" than the "full force" of the US military to the effort.
