15,000 Americans Trapped behind Taliban Lines, Senator Suggests 25th Amendment to Oust Biden"I am disappointed that the Biden administration clearly did not accurately assess the implications of a rapid US withdrawal." -Democratic Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Sen. Bob Menendez
For now, chaos reigns outside Kabul's airport as thousands of Afghans try desperately to escape the Taliban. US forces may control the airfield, but the Taliban controls all roads leading to the airport. Taliban terrorists have been blocking roads, beating Afghan women and children in broad daylight as they try to flee. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin says Americans in Kabul will have to get to the airport on their own. "We're gonna get everyone that we can possibly evacuate evacuated, and I'll do that as long as we possibly can until the clock runs out or we run out of capability," Austin said.

"There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days," Milley said. In an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, President Biden said he wouldn't handle the US withdrawal any differently. Democrats gave the President their full backing when he announced plans for the unconditional withdrawal. Now, some are changing their stance. In a statement, the Democratic Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Sen. Bob Menendez said: "I am disappointed that the Biden administration clearly did not accurately assess the implications of a rapid US withdrawal." There have also been swift and blistering rebukes from Republicans. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called the evacuation a "botched exit." "All of this is the aftermath of the decision, first to withdrawal, and then to withdrawal in a precipitous and incompetent way," McConnell said. "After the disastrous events in Afghanistan, we must confront a serious question: Is Joe Biden capable of discharging the duties of his office or has time come to exercise the provisions of the 25th Amendment?"
