Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is claiming the Biden administration has it all wrong. And they totally botched the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. On several Sunday shows she blasts Biden for completely surrendering to the Taliban.

She appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation," on MSNBC, and on Fox News.

"They're not negotiating with the Taliban. They've completely surrendered to the Taliban. They surrendered Bagram Air Force Base, which was a major NATO hub. They surrendered $85 billion worth of equipment and weapons that we should have gotten out of there. They have surrendered the American people and actually withdrew our troops before they withdrew the American people. And they've abandoned our Afghan allies who kept people like my husband safe," Haley said.

At this point, she believes Biden should do "whatever it takes to get our Americans out."

"This is an unbelievable scenario where literally the Taliban has our Americans held hostage," she added.

Niki Haley describes “embarrassing failure”

Niki Haley was the governor of South Carolina (2011-2017) and more recently served under former President Trump as UN Ambassador. Her husband Major Michael Haley served in Afghanistan. 

Some of her interviewers suggested that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was put in place by the Trump administration. And said Trump was just as much to blame as Biden for the fiasco. Haley disagrees.

"Under four years of Trump, Afghanistan was safe. We made sure that we kept terrorism at bay, and we came from a strength of position," Haley said. 

"There are times where you have to negotiate with the devil, but you negotiate with the devil from a point of strength. You don't do it from a point of weakness. We literally have no leverage right now with the Taliban."

She suggests Biden’s Aug. 31 deadline for evacuations is not going to work. And claims it’s time for the U.S. to draw a line in the sand with the Taliban. The top priority should be getting Americans to the airport in Kabul safely.

"We've got to get our Americans out. We've got to stay true to those Afghan allies that we made promises to. And we've got to make sure we do this in a very strong way going forward," Haley added.
