On Friday, Pompeo spoke with the Hugh Hewitt Show and said Biden\u2019s pullout from Afghanistan was an \u201cabysmal failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo went on to say the U.S. has most likely lost two decades worth of work because of the way Biden handled the pullout. He added, \u201cit was anything but orderly and safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The lack of strong American leadership abroad which has marked the Biden Administration will continue to yield the same kinds of failures we are currently watching unfold in Kabul.<\/p>\n<p>Read more in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ACLJ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ACLJ<\/a>:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lUIzBj0qpv\">https:\/\/t.co\/lUIzBj0qpv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mike Pompeo (@mikepompeo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mikepompeo\/status\/1428718627004551168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 20, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNow we\u2019ve gone backwards. We\u2019ve probably lost two decades as a result of the way President Biden conducted this withdrawal,\u201d he stated. \u201cThe tactics and the operational level execution of this have been horrific and will have enormous consequences in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo said under the Trump administration, the Taliban didn\u2019t act the way they have been in recent days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe shut them largely down. They didn\u2019t go take provincial capitals in large measure. They didn\u2019t go violate some of the most fundamental things that put Americans at risk. We didn\u2019t have a single American killed either,\u201d he explained. \u201c\u2026Not because of a piece of paper, but because the understandings were there and we made clear we would enforce them.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sending&nbsp;more than 5000 troops back in AFTER you withdrew a couple thousand of them is proof that you are disconnected from the reality on the ground and aren&#8217;t serious about protecting Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mike Pompeo (@mikepompeo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mikepompeo\/status\/1427417681368686599?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He added the region was stable before Biden decided to change it and botched the withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had stability at the 2,500 person level.\u201d he expressed. \u201cThis administration came in, much like they at our southern border. They said, \u2018Trump did that, we\u2019re going to go rip it up.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo warned Biden\u2019s handling of the situation would result in \u201csignificant ramifications for America\u2019s national security for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/president-trump-we-had-u-s-running-like-a-finely-tuned-watch-but-now-the-decisions-are-absolutely-horrendous\/\">President Trump: We Had U.S. Running Like A Finely-Tuned Watch, But Now The Decisions Are Absolutely Horrendous<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the State Department in Washington D.C.
