Biden also admitted that ISIS has threatened a terrorist attack near the airport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese troops and innocent civilians at the airport face the risk of attack from ISIS-K from a distance, even though we\u2019re moving back the perimeter significantly,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re working hard and as fast as we can to get people out. That\u2019s our mission. That\u2019s our goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House later contradicted Biden, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kylieatwood\/status\/1429590328126984195\">noting that the perimeter has not been expanded<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Taliban also demanded, early Monday, that the Biden administration stick to its proposed timeline and withdraw all United States forces by August 31st. It is not clear what the Taliban will do if the U.S. is not fully withdrawn, but the announcement greatly complicates Biden\u2019s insistence that the U.S. will stay until all Americans are rescued.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
