A retired U.S. Army brigadier general ripped President Joe Biden and his administration for the “complete and utter abandonment” of America’s Afghan allies after the Taliban claimed victory in the Panjshir district, the last bastion of organized resistance to its regime.
In a segment with “Fox & Friends” on Monday, Anthony Tata responded to claims on Sunday by Rep. Michaal McCaul, R-Texas, who said that a half-dozen planes with Americans and U.S. allies are sitting at the airport at Mazar-i-Sharif and are not being permitted to leave by the Taliban because they want either recognition or aid — or both — in exchange.
He went on to say that the area has special significance to him because he served there as a deputy commander of forces in the region from 2006 to 2007.
