Defense officials told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/world\/live-news\/afghanistan-news-taliban-refugees-08-24-21\/h_c4ad841c86a6d6123a9d5615bb97588d\">CNN<\/a> that the decrease in troop presence will not have an impact on the ongoing evacuation operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, the reduction does not affect the mission,\u201d an official said. \u201cIf you can have a smaller mission set and still conduct the mission, then you can reduce your footprint and reduce your risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden decided to keep to his August 31 deadline after the Taliban threatened against pushing back the evacuation timeline. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-biden-decides-against-extending-evacuation-timeline-after-taliban-threatens-consequences\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14.918032786885\">\n<p><em>Biden\u2019s decision risks pulling out U.S. forces before all American citizens and U.S. allies are evacuated from the country, now under Taliban control. The president\u2019s decision comes after the Taliban threatened \u201cconsequences\u201d against the U.S. if it failed to meet the August 31 deadline.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBiden made the decision mindful of the security risks in remaining the country longer, the official said, and he has asked for contingency plans in case he determines at a later date the US needs to remain in the country for longer,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/08\/24\/politics\/joe-biden-g7-afghanistan\/index.html\">CNN<\/a>&nbsp;reported.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Taliban declared that moving the pullout date was a \u201cred line\u201d over the weekend after Biden suggested leaving U.S. forces on the ground after August to facilitate evacuation operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a red line. President Biden announced that on 31 August they would withdraw all their military forces. So if they extend it that means they are extending occupation while there is no need for that. \u2026 If the U.S. or UK were to seek additional time to continue evacuations \u2014 the answer is no. Or there would be consequences,\u201d Taliban spokesman Dr. Suhail Shaheen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will create mistrust between us. If they are intent on continuing the occupation, it will provoke a reaction,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>House Democrats said Tuesday that Biden\u2019s timeline likely does not leave enough time to evacuate all Americans from Afghanistan.

An untold number of American citizens remain in Afghanistan under the uncertain rule of a Taliban-controlled government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamn the deadline.
