ISLAMABAD (92 News) – US Senator Lindsey Graham has said that the Biden administration's decision to withdraw all forces and not stay engaged with Pakistan is a major disaster in the making, even worse than the blunder in Iraq.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Graham said: "Stunning to hear that President Biden has not reached out to Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan regarding the US-Pakistan relationship and Afghanistan.

"How do we expect our withdrawal from Afghanistan to be effective without coordinating with Pakistan? Clearly the Biden Administration believes that our problems in Afghanistan are behind us."
