President Joe Biden speaks about the bombings at the Kabul airport that killed at least 12 U.S. service members, from the East Room of the White House., facing the worst day of his presidency, mourned the loss of U.S. servicemen and civilians killed in a deadly attack outside the Kabul airport, but he vowed that the Afghanistan evacuation mission would continue.
He appeared close to choking up as he talked of those who were killed, and to anger as he spoke of those responsible for the attack. Coming just over an hour after Commander of the United States Central Command Gen. Kenneth F. Jr. asserted “24/7 we’re looking for them” of the ISIS-K attackers, the President’s address was carried live on television, radio and online, as one would expect on a day of such crisis.
“My heart aches for you. But I know this: We have a continuing obligation, a sacred obligation, to all of you,” the president said. He also spoke of losing his son, Beau, who served in Kosovo and Iraq, to cancer.
