Biden says he'll evacuate ALL US citizens from Afghanistan
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] President Joe Biden vowed Friday get all Americans and Afghan allies out of Afghanistan

  • 'Let me be clear, any American who wants to come home, we will get you home,' Biden pledged

  • When later asked about Afghans who aided the U.S. war effort he added: 'Yes, we're making the same commitment' about evacuating them

  • 'This is one of the largest difficult airlifts in history,' he said amid the chaos at Kabul airport

  • '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'

  • He insisted that the chaotic takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban did not taint the U.S.'s global reputation

  • 'I have seen no question of our credibility of our allies from around the world,' he said

  • Biden then took questions from the press for the first time in nine days from a pre-approved list of reporters
