(CROSSTALK) LEMON: Did we need to be there? CUOMO: Twenty years without another 9/11. CUOMO: Well, they also knew that we needed to be there. Because there's a lot of blame to go around from four different presidents and who actually didn't have the guts to get us out of Afghanistan because they were afraid of this moment and what an exit might look like. You can't bring those lives back, as awful as that is, and so, you know, I just think that sometimes, I think the administration is getting beaten up on this a little bit too much. So, if there's any silver lining in this, it's going to be what happens going forward. We should still help them get out, continue to help them get out, but, you know, I think people should stop beating up on the administration so much because no matter how it ended, everyone wasn't going to be happy with the way it ended. And we do have to remember there are people who went there, and we're told they needed to leave, and they didn't leave. So how do we move forward from here? I think you have to also look at the number, again, the number of people they got out, and I think obviously the administration, the Trump administration for brokering these deals with the Taliban, and the Biden administration for however you feel about how they got out, but I think you have to give them some credit for what, number one, getting out, and number two, getting as many people out as possible. Many people didn't agree with the way that it ended. I think that, you know, we should be a little bit more level headed about this. They don't have to, but that's what we do as Americans. These organizations should be stepping up. It's getting the people out to see how many more people they can get out, Yes.
It's just not going to happen in any situation. I think that is - I think that is asking for something that's not - that is - you can't accomplish that. I think in any situation, whether you agree with the exit or not, you're not going to get all of the people out that you want in the time period. But let's just - let's be a little bit unemotional here, if we can. Now they're trying to get her out, and the question is, is the United States government going to step up and help them, or are they actually going to make it harder for these veterans to get people out? LEMON: Well, listen, I understand the emotion around it. She's an American and she decided to stay there to help others who deserve to leave. If the loyalty weren't so deep, I mean, you know, this Sara that we're following, you know, she's a metaphor for so many. These organizations that we're having on the show, they don't have to do this. But I think that the continuing concern, you left the majority of people you promised to help who helped you behind, and you know that it was a real promise, Don, because these veterans, all these allies, this hash tag digital Dunkirk. But the loss of life from the American service members, I think that is the saddest part for everyone, no doubt and their families.
A Herculean task, though, getting all those people out, 120,000 people in a week, look, I think that part is a success. The sad part for me, obviously, the folks who are still there. We've been through worse with vigor losses of life, but this is one that we're in now. "DON LEMON TONIGHT" with the big star, D.
