The troops are being deployed to assist with evacuation efforts as the Taliban has seized on the Biden administration\u2019s disastrous withdrawal and now control the majority of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Biden said in a statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"18\">\n<p><em>First, based on the recommendations of our diplomatic, military, and intelligence teams, I have authorized the deployment of approximately 5,000 U.S. troops to make sure we can have an orderly and safe drawdown of U.S. personnel and other allied personnel, and an orderly and safe evacuation of Afghans who helped our troops during our mission and those at special risk from the Taliban advance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Second, I have ordered our Armed Forces and our Intelligence Community to ensure that we will maintain the capability and the vigilance to address future terrorist threats from Afghanistan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden then tried to blame former President Donald Trump for the actions that his administration has made that have seriously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/foreign-policy-experts-blast-biden-as-situation-in-middle-east-rapidly-deteriorates-in-3-key-areas\">backfired<\/a> in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I came to office, I inherited a deal cut by my predecessor \u2014 which he invited the Taliban to discuss at Camp David on the eve of 9\/11 of 2019 \u2014 that left the Taliban in the strongest position militarily since 2001 and imposed a May 1, 2021 deadline on U.S. Forces,\u201d Biden said. \u201cShortly before he left office, he also drew U.S. Forces down to a bare minimum of 2,500. Therefore, when I became President, I faced a choice \u2014 follow through on the deal, with a brief extension to get our Forces and our allies\u2019 Forces out safely, or ramp up our presence and send more American troops to fight once again in another country\u2019s civil conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, foreign policy experts quickly slammed Biden\u2019s attempts to blame Trump for the situation that is unfolding under Biden\u2019s leadership. Mike Pompeo, the former director of the CIA and secretary of state, said in an interview last week that Trump\u2019s plan to withdraw from Afghanistan appeared to be very different than what Biden was doing. Pompeo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pompeo-reveals-what-trump-told-taliban-about-how-u-s-would-withdraw-blasts-bidens-poor-leadership\">noted<\/a> that Trump told the Taliban that if there were any problems, the U.S. Military would be going directly to their homes to hunt them down.<\/p>\n<p>Rebeccah Heinrichs, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, blasted Biden\u2019s statement, telling The Daily Wire that Biden was leading from behind and that he needed to immediately address the nation because \u201cthere are a lot of military families who deserve it and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe begins by listing what his administration is scrambling to do to avoid American and partner deaths, and to have the ability to conduct counterterrorism operations,\u201d Heinrichs told The Daily Wire. \u201cAnd this horrible scramble with high stakes is all because of Biden\u2019s order to withdrawal immediately. There is plenty of blame to go around for the failures in Afghanistan, but what happens as a result of the way the withdrawal happened will be Biden\u2019s alone. He can\u2019t pass this off on Trump. He owns all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrea Stricker, research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), told The Daily Wire that \u201cthe disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan fits a pattern of this administration deciding on a course of foreign action without consideration for the ramifications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden wanted out regardless of the cost to the Afghan people, regional security, and years of effort and dedication by many brave Americans and allies,\u201d Stricker added. \u201cThis poorly planned exit will go down in history as a major U.S. strategic failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jamil N. Jaffer \u2014 who serves as Founder and Executive Director of the National Security Institute and as an Assistant Professor of Law and Director of the National Security Law &amp; Policy Program at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University \u2014 also slammed Biden in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPathetic for the President to lay the situation he created by his own choices at the feet of his predecessor,\u201d Jaffer said. \u201cHaving inherited whatever he inherited, it was his job to do what the nation required, and the President ought admit he made the wrong choice.
