The former Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has rebuked the Biden administration’s handling of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, saying that U.S. presidents will be dealing with the “catastrophe” for decades to come.

In an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, days before President Joe Biden’s self-imposed Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Graham said he believes that the war in Afghanistan “has not ended.”
