If you're a business leader, a nonprofit leader, a state or local labor who has been waiting for full F.D.A. approval to require vaccinations, I call on you now to do that, require it.

He said, yes, we got it wrong. I have been advocating that we need to get out of Afghanistan. And if you put me in office as president of the United States, I will get us out on day one.

They’re killing people. I mean, they’re really -- they’re -- look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated.

If you`re a business leader, a nonprofit leader, a state or local leader who has been waiting for full FDA approval to require vaccinations, I call on you now to do that, require it.

There was no way to evacuate this many people without pain and loss of heartbreaking images you see on television. It`s just a fact. I think that history is going to record this was the logical, rational and right decision to make.

If you are one of the millions of Americans who said that they will not get the shot when it is -- until it has full and final approval of the FDA, it has now happened. The moment you have been waiting for is here. It is time for you to go…

Just yesterday, among the many Americans we evacuated, 169 Americans who over the -- we`ve got over the wall into the airport using military assets.

Let me be clear. Any American who wants to come home, we will get you home. Make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. It involves risks to our armed forces and it`s being conducted under difficult circumstances. I cannot…

This is one of the largest, most difficult airlifts in history. And the only country in the world capable of projecting this much power on the far side of the world with this degree of precision is the United States of America.

The past week has been heartbreaking. We`ve seen gut-wrenching images of panicked people acting out of sheer desperation. I don`t think any one of us can see these pictures and not feel that pain on a human level.

I`m President of the United States of America. And the buck stops with me, the basic choice is, am I going to send your sons and your daughters to war in Afghanistan, in Afghanistan, in perpetuity.

This evacuation mission is dangerous and involves risks to our armed forces. I cannot promise what the final outcome will be or what it will be, that it will be without risk of loss, but as commander in chief, I can assure you that I will…

they were going to get every American out and he opened up the door to picking people up who may not be able to get to the airport on their own.

Make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous.

Unfortunately, as we`ve seen throughout this pandemic, some politicians are trying to turn public safety measures, that is, children wearing masks in school, into political disputes for their own political gain. Some are even trying to…

No, they didn`t. It was split. That wasn`t true. That wasn`t true.

I hope. I hope you'll go to vaccines.gov this weekend and make your appointment for next week. Because again, it's coming. What you asked for is coming.

I don't think anyone -- I don't think any one of us can see these pictures and not feel that pain on a human level.

The past week has been heartbreaking. We've seen gut-wrenching images of panicked people, acting out of sheer desperation.

The political leaders of Afghanistan were unable to come together for the good of their people, unable to negotiate for the future of their country when the chips were down.

It is wrong to order American troops to step up when Afghanistan's own armed forces would not.

American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves.

PRESIDENT Joe Biden saying Americans can get through.

I will bring home any American who wants to come home.

No. Not at -- not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a timeframe all troops. They didn`t argue against that.
