Anderson Cooper 360

Biden praises military evacuation of Kabul, calling it an "extraordinary success"

Listen Later

President Biden defended his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan saying he refused to start another “decade of war.” Biden said that the U.S. government believes there are about 100 to 200 Americans remaining in Afghanistan and Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the U.S. remains committed to help Afghan partners who have fought alongside the U.S. She specifically thanked an Afghan interpreter, Mohammed, who was part of the 2008 rescue mission for then Sens. Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel and John Kerry. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mohammed currently has a Special Immigrant Visa stuck in processing. He tells Anderson Cooper he “trusts” Biden to get him out. Plus, CNN National Correspondent Gary Tuchman brings AC360 to Grand Isle, Louisiana, after Hurricane Ida devasted the town. Gary and his team are the first television crew to reach barrier island.
