For those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay. I`ll defend our interests and our people with every measure at my…

I have the utmost confidence in our brave service members who continue to execute this mission with courage and honor to save lives and get Americans, our partners, our Afghan allies out of Afghanistan.

This mission was extraordinarily dangerous, and why I have been so determined to limit the duration of this mission.

Millions of Afghani citizens who are not Taliban, who did not actively cooperate with us as SIVs, who, if given a chance, may be on board a plane tomorrow.

Our interests in going was to prevent al Qaeda from reemerging, first to get bin Laden, wipe out al Qaeda and Afghanistan, prevent that from happening again.

Here`s what you need to know, these ISIS terrorists will not win. We will rescue the Americans. We will get our Afghan allies. And our mission will go on. America will not be intimidated.

We will hunt you down and we will make you pay.

Vice President Kamala Harris canceled a campaign rally with Governor Newsom, this week, after the troop pullout, and terrorist attack, in Afghanistan.

To fight a war that we had already won relative to the reason why we went in the first place. I have never been of the view that we should be sacrificing American lives to try to establish a Democratic government in Afghanistan.

I`ve instructed the military whatever they need, if they need additional force, I will grant it.

We are, also, keeping a close watch on any potential terrorist threat at or around the airport, including from the ISIS affiliates in Afghanistan who were released from prison when the prisons were emptied. And because they are, by the…

The lives we lost today were lives given in the service of liberty, the service of security, in the service of others, in the service of America.

We will respond with force and precision at our time at the place we choose and the moment of our choosing.
