(Photo by Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:22 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, September 1, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>A transcript obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/exclusive-call-before-afghan-collapse-biden-pressed-ghani-change-perception-2021-08-31\/\">Reuters<\/a> has recently revealed Joe Biden told Afghan President Ashraf Ghani that his country\u2019s military would be able to fight off the Taliban. The 14-minute conversation took place on July 23, just weeks before the Taliban took over the country.<\/p>\n<p>Biden had also told Ghani they would help the Afghan government survive, but stated there was a perception problem with its government. However, 24 hours after the last U.S. troop left the region, Biden has continued to defend his disastrous pullout.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, more than a hundred Americans are still stranded in Kabul, despite the decades long war coming to an end. Biden addressed the nation from the White House for the first time since the U.S. completely pulled out of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>He was two hours late for Tuesday\u2019s speech, which came 24 hours after the war officially ended. Biden took a combative and defensive tone after critics in the media lambasted his strategy as chaotic following the loss of 13 U.S. service members and more than 180 Afghan citizens.<\/p>\n<p>However, Biden called it a great success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of the United States military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The United States stands by the commitment we\u2019ve made to evacuate people\u2014and this includes vulnerable Afghans, such as women leaders and journalists. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kfjfyKmBcM\">pic.twitter.com\/kfjfyKmBcM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1430162366939942924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden said the decision to pull troops out abruptly was that of a unanimous recommendation by leaders in the State Department, the Department of Defense and other commanders in the field. He added it was time to end this decades long war and acknowledged the terrorist presence in Kabul would remain strong.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward, Biden has vowed to look after those, especially women and children, who are trapped under the Taliban\u2019s rule. \u201cWe\u2019ll continue to support the Afghan people through diplomacy, international influence and humanitarian aid,\u201d said Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Though there are no more U.S. personnel left in the war-torn country, Biden has signaled the U.S. will continue to be active in Afghanistan as long as there\u2019s still a terrorist threat.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/president-trump-expresses-concern-about-potential-9-11-style-attack-under-biden-after-afghanistan-retreat\/\">President Trump Calls Withdrawal Worst Decision In U.S. History<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 AUGUST 31: Joe Biden delivers remarks on the end of the war in Afghanistan in the State Dining Room at the White House.
