On whether President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11 was the right one, the former president spoke about concern over the future treatment of Afghan women and girls, who have faced violent treatment by the Taliban.
“My first reaction was, ‘Wow, these girls are gonna have real trouble with the Taliban,’” he said. “A lot of gains have been made, and so I'm deeply concerned about the plight of women and girls in that country.”
Asked if the administration should have held off on the decision, Bush said, “Well, I think we'll see. I mean, the time will tell. I think the administration hopes that the girls are going to be OK through diplomacy. We'll find out. And all I know is the Taliban, when they had the run of the place, they were brutal.”
