Following the deadly explosions outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport, Congressman Mark Green (R-TN), a decorated combat veteran who served in Afghanistan, issued the following statement:

"Despite President Biden’s lies, we have been told repeatedly that the Taliban were not letting Americans and our allies get to the airport safely. The deadly explosions today leave no room for doubt that the Taliban have, unsurprisingly, not kept up their word guaranteeing safe passage to the airport.

The Taliban must be held accountable, and Joe Biden, the President of the United States—the leader of the free world—must act immediately and decisively. The arbitrary 8/31 deadline must be extended indefinitely, the enemy who perpetrated this attack must be crushed, and the U.S. must make it clear: Any impediment to our evacuations will be met with the full force of the greatest superpower in the world. We will leave no man behind. Say it, Mr. President."
