Does it make sense to remove American troops because they’ve been there for 20 years and spent trillions, yet help the Afghan economy while the Taliban are in charge? If Biden wants out of the country, why send them money? …did that little nugget get past most Americans?
Al Qaeda leaders make a triumphant return to Afghanistan, not only claiming victory but holding military parades with the $88 million dollars worth of military equipment gifted to them by President Joe Biden.
Did we miss the part where hapless Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and General Milley resign?
A senior al Qaeda commander who was Osama bin Laden’s security chief has apparently returned to Afghanistan after two decades living in Pakistan, according to videos posted on social media. Amin ul-Haq arrived back in his hometown in Nangarhar province, east of Kabul:
Taliban helicopters also flew over the victory parade in Kandahar. See, we told you they weren’t hanging people. Checkmate cons, and you said they would never be able to fly an American chopper!
Isn’t humiliation great!

THE WHITE HOUSE
Remarks by President Biden on the End of the War in Afghanistan
AUGUST 31, 2021
3:28 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Last night in Kabul, the United States ended 20 years of war in Afghanistan — the longest war in American history.
There are those who would say we should have stayed indefinitely for years on end.
Remember why we went to Afghanistan in the first place?
Because we were attacked by Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda on September 11th, 2001, and they were based in Afghanistan.
We delivered justice to bin Laden on May 2nd, 2011 — over a decade ago.
Al Qaeda was decimated.

“Top Intelligence officials say al Qaeda could rebuild in Afghanistan in one to two years – Officials say that members of the terrorist group have already started to return to Afghanistan”

Al Qaeda could rebuild in Afghanistan and again become a threat to the U.S. homeland in one to two years.
“The current assessment probably conservatively is one to two years for al Qaeda to build some capability to at least threaten the homeland,” said Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Lt. Gen. Scott D. Berrier during Tuesday’s National Security Summit.
Officials say that members of the terrorist group have already started to return to the country amid the Taliban takeover, speeding the timeline for which the group could begin to pose a renewed threat.
