A former assistant defense secretary warned that al-Qaida "will again show its viper head" and said President Biden was "disingenuous" during his address Monday.
Biden dug in on his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan during his speech, despite that the Taliban has swept through the nation. The Taliban quickly captured territory, invaded the capital city and took control of the presidential palace.
"We’ve lost the war," Francis "Bing" West told Fox News in an exclusive interview following Biden’s address. "I don’t care how President Biden tries to present it."
