US OFFICIALS WARN BIDEN'S AUG. 31 DEADLINE TO WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM AFGHANISTAN WILL BE 'CHALLENGING'
MARC THIESSEN: This is Joe Biden, "Mr. Diplomacy" – the guy who just traveled to Europe and declared the return of a golden age of American diplomacy. And instead, he’s hiding in the basement at Camp David and not talking to world leaders. And we need to remember this isn’t just a U.S. withdrawal. This is a NATO withdrawal. There were 7,000 NATO troops on the ground in Afghanistan that are getting pulled out. There are thousands of foreign nationals – French, British, German, Canadian, other countries – who are stuck in Afghanistan trying to figure out how to get to the airport, how to get out of there. So, this is not just an American disaster; it’s a NATO disaster. It’s a disaster precipitated by Joe Biden.
