Former President George W. Bush said the Biden administration’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan was “a mistake” during an interview this week with German TV
“I’m afraid Afghan women and girls are going to suffer unspeakable harm,” he told state news broadcaster Deutsche Welle during an interview that will be featured in an upcoming documentary on German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “They’re just going to be left behind to be slaughtered by these very brutal people, and it breaks my heart.”
“I think it is [a mistake], yeah, because I think the consequences are going to be unbelievably bad, and I’m sad.”
“Has Angela Merkel done a good job?” I want to know as we conclude our interview. “I think so,” Bush said. “Both she and I need not to worry about short-term history, because we’re not going to know where we stand until long after we’re dead.”
