Pentagon: More Help On The Way In Afghanistan

(Arlington, VA)  --  More American troops are on their way to Afghanistan.  Pentagon spokesman John Kirby says more U.S. forces are moving to Kabul from nearby locations outside Afghanistan.  He called it a narrowly-focused, tailored mission to help secure the airport in Kabul and the U.S. embassy.  Kirby said U.S. officials were very concerned about the speed of Taliban advances across Afghanistan.
