President Joe Biden has defended the end of the war in Afghanistan and the chaotic withdrawal from Kabul a day after the last American military planes left the country, concluding the nation's longest war after nearly 20 years.Mr Biden, in defending a decision that has drawn scrutiny for its execution, said the real decision in Afghanistan was "between leaving and escalating," framing his choice to withdraw troops as the only option aside from surging more forces to the country."I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending a forever exit," he said.
