Top military officials testified before Congress. Lawmakers from both parties criticized the Joe Biden administration for how the withdrawal was carried out and was completed, not saying for sure how many Americans remain in Afghanistan. U.S. President Joe Biden stated it didn't make sense to be there indefinitely in terms of money and manpower. White House added that remaining there past August 31 could escalate the conflict between the U.S. and Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the Taliban claimed the U.S. broke international law by launching drones in Afghan airspace, killing 10 Afghan civilians.
In Afghanistan, the street of Kabul is calmer with fewer Taliban and more women. But there are some troubling signs that the situation is taking an ominous turn because the Taliban hasn’t changed their true colors. Women are not in the transitional government and are not allowed to go to school after 6th grade, and so forth. The U.S. embassy has been abandoned since the Taliban's takeover, making going about evacuating Americans a challenging task. Secretary was asked about long-range missions during the testimony. And he answered that it would be difficult, but possible without U.S. troops on the ground.
*Vocabularies; past, for sure, long-range, airspace, eerie, go about, true color, transitional, transitional government, and so on/forth, ominous, take a new turn
