Biden&#8217;s\u200d remarks came on the anniversary of a suicide bombing that killed 13 \u200bAmerican \u200bservice members\u200b during the chaotic exit from Afghanistan,\u2062 a \u2064fact he mentioned only in passing.<\/p>\n<p>His \u200ccomments have \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-roasted-for-straight-faced-claim-gop-needs-to-give-him-money-to-protect-border\/\" title=\"Biden mocked for claiming GOP must fund him to secure border\">drawn sharp \u200ccriticism<\/a> from the families \u2062of \u200dthe deceased\u200c service\u2063 members, many of whom feel that his\u2062 self-praise is insensitive\u2062 and inappropriate. Darin \u200cHoover, father of Marine Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, \u200bexpressed\u2064 outrage, \u2063stating that Biden&#8217;s statements reflect a lack of \u2062understanding\u2064 and respect for their loss. Othre family members echoed this sentiment, lamenting the impact of the withdrawal and accusing Biden of downplaying the consequences of his decisions, which they believe\u2064 jeopardized U.S. national security and stability in \u2063Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Critics,including\u200c lawmakers,have also condemned Biden\u2019s \u200dportrayal of the withdrawal as a success,arguing\u200c it has\u2064 emboldened terrorism\u200c and signaled U.S. weakness abroad. Family members like Christy Shamblin,who lost \u2063her daughter-in-law in the\u2063 bombing,highlighted \u200cthe need for\u2062 effective national security solutions\u2064 rather than a focus on international aid initiatives. Biden&#8217;s \u2063comments \u200chave\u200c intensified tensions regarding the legacy of the Afghanistan exit and it&#8217;s personal toll \u2063on those\u2063 who lost loved ones.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden gave himself a pat on the back Monday for his policy in Afghanistan, infuriating family members of Americans who were killed in a suicide bombing in Kabul during the botched 2021 withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>Calling himself &ldquo;the first president in decades who&rsquo;s not leaving a war in Afghanistan to his successor,&rdquo; Biden said his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gold-star-parents-unleash-barrage-biden-kamala-anniversary-afghanistan-deaths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Afghanistan policy<\/a> was correct, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/biden-says-hes-leaving-trump-strong-hand-play-defends-his-record-afghanistan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, saying, &ldquo;In my view, it was time to end the war and bring our troops home, and we did.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&rdquo;By ending the war, we&rsquo;ve been able to focus our energy and resources on our urgent challenges,&rdquo; Biden said, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/01\/13\/us-news\/biden-brags-about-disastrous-afghanistan-pullout-that-left-13-us-service-members-dead-during-end-of-term-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After claiming that remaining in Afghanistan would have delighted Russia and China, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/taliban-uses-american-equipment-mock-us-anniversary-bidens-afghanistan-debacle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden<\/a> said that &ldquo;ending the war was the right thing to do, and I believe history will reflect that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>During his speech at the State Department, he cited &ldquo;those brave service members whose lives were lost during the withdrawal&rdquo; but did not mention the Kabul incident by name.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BIDEN: &ldquo;I put together one of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">competent foreign policy teams<\/a> in American history.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>From the Afghanistan withdrawal to Ukraine to Israel&hellip; it&rsquo;s been war, chaos, and destruction.<\/p>\n<p>Competent at lighting the world on fire. &#129335;&#127995;&zwj;&#9794;&#65039;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vQMlPf2Edo\">pic.twitter.com\/vQMlPf2Edo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KanekoaTheGreat\/status\/1878917056172875874?\">January 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Biden&rsquo;s congratulatory self-praise grated on Darin Hoover, father of Marine Staff Sgt.
