This is what we call a \u2018wicked problem,&#8217;\u201d Clinton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/hillary-clinton-warns-of-consequences-over-biden-afganistan-withdrawl-decision\">said<\/a> on CNN. \u201cYou know there are consequences both foreseen and unintended of staying and of leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clinton said that \u201chuge consequences\u201d could include the Taliban \u2014 once weakened but growing in strength again \u2014 returning to take control of Afghanistan. That would then cause a \u201chuge refugee outflow,\u201d and \u201ca resumption of activities by global terrorist groups,\u201d said Clinton, who lost to former President Donald Trump in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe potential collapse of the Afghan government and a takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban probably with a resumption of civil war in certain parts of the country,\u201d she said. \u201cBut a largely, Taliban-run government at some point in the not-too-distant future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clinton said she thinks Biden should open the U.S. to refugees from the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that the administration in concert with the Congress will have a very large visa program and will begin immediately to try to provide that channel for so many Afghans to utilize so that they are not left in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clinton also said terrorists groups like al Qaeda and the Islamic State could surge upon the U.S. withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a really sharp drop in both capacity and action on behalf of Islamic terrorist groups,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cI don\u2019t think we can count on that staying in a downward spiral if the Taliban continued to provide refuge to international terrorist groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And she said the U.S. should not just \u201cwalk away\u201d from the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to pull out troops that have been supporting security in Afghanistan, supporting the Afghan military, leaving it pretty much to fend for itself,\u201d\u00a0she said, \u201cbut we can\u2019t afford to walk away from the consequences of that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,\u00a0U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/antony-blinken-60-minutes-2021-05-02\/\">told<\/a> CBS\u2019 \u201c60 Minutes\u201d that the U.S. is not abandoning Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust because our troops are coming home doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re leaving,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re not. Our embassy\u2019s staying, the support that we\u2019re giving to Afghanistan when it comes to \u2014 economic support, development, humanitarian, that \u2014 that remains. And not only from us, from partners and allies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Biden\u2019s announcement, former President George W. Bush warned the decision could hurt women and girls if the \u201cbrutal\u201d Taliban returns to power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first reaction was, wow, these girls are going to have real trouble with the Taliban,\u201d Bush <a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/video\/former-president-george-w-bush-immigration-system-needs-to-be-reformed-110509125680\">said<\/a> on NBC\u2019s \u201cToday.\u201d \u201cA lot of gains have been made, and so I\u2019m deeply concerned about the plight of women and girls in that country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the administration hopes that the girls are going be OK through diplomacy. We\u2019ll find out. All I know is the Taliban, when they had the run of the place, they were brutal,\u201d Bush said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
