(Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 6:32 PM PT \u2013 Sunday, July 11, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Critics of Joe Biden\u2019s withdrawal from Afghanistan have been speaking out against the move, claiming it may not last long. On Sunday, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R), who served in Afghanistan as a lieutenant in the Air Force, said the withdrawal symbolizes the resolve of the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>Kinzinger went on to say U.S. troops will likely have to re-enter Afghanistan to quell the Taliban\u2019s offensive in the country. The terrorist organization recently claimed to have recaptured around 85 percent of the Middle Eastern country.<\/p>\n<p>This includes the key U.S. Bagram Air Base near Kabul, which was vacated by American troops last week. Kinzinger added, it\u2019s only a matter of time before we see the collapse of the Afghan government.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2452972\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2452972\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2452972\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/afg-655x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"An Afghan National Army (ANA) soldier stands guard at Bagram Air Base, after all US and NATO troops left, some 70 Km north of Kabul on July 2, 2021.

(ZAKERIA HASHIMI\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Former Obama-era Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said he believes Biden should leave troops in the country. Johnson advised the Biden administration to leave around 2,500 troops to work counterterrorism.<\/p>\n<p>However, he remains confident in America\u2019s ability to respond to terrorist threats in Afghanistan even if operations are outside it\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Department of Defense Spokesperson John Kirby has defended the administration\u2019s decision, stressing the U.S. is not walking away from our relationship with the Afghan government. He said Biden plans on supporting officials with financial and advisory resources.<\/p>\n<p>He also reflected on the Biden administration\u2019s concern with the Taliban\u2019s momentum and said they are looking into options to deter their rise in the region. In the meantime, Biden plans to bring forward the full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Aug. 31.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/reports-left-wing-media-scared-to-question-biden\/\">Reports: Left-Wing Media Scared To Question Biden<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
