NO 'MISSION ACCOMPLISHED'
Biden speeds up US withdrawal from Afghanistan as Taliban resurges, admin. insists war 'cannot be won'
Actually, 1st you have to decide / identify WHAT 'The War In Afghanistan' was.
If the mission in Afghanistan was to exact retribution from the Taliban for 9/11/01 - Mission Accomplished.....but we stayed too long.
If the mission was to liberate Afghanistan from Taliban control - Mission Accomplished....but we stayed too long. We couldn't stay there forever to ensure it stayed that way.
If it was to impose our idea / concept of Democracy on Afghanistan it was a massive failure
I agree with Biden, though - what the Afghanistan war has become and the reasons we were / are there can't be won. We should have been out long ago....
That being said, I believe we we have not seen the last of Afghanistan and will end up going back, only if it is to bomb the shite out of the Taliban and ISIS again...and you can count on both to move back into Afghanistan.
I also believe invading Syria was a bad f*ing idea, a move we should never have made, and that we should immediately withdraw our troops from that country as well.
Biden changes end of US combat mission in Afghanistan from Sept. 11 to Aug. 31
President Biden said U.S. troops will be out of Afghanistan sooner than his original Sept. 11 deadline, telling reporters Thursday U.S. forces will be home by Aug. 31.
