One Year After the Disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal, General Jack Keane Says ‘Taliban in Charge’ – Opinion

One year has passed since the withdrawal from Afghanistan that saw 13 of our brave heroes die. Biden pulled out troops from Afghanistan on August 15, 2021. Many agreed or disagreed with the decision. However, many disagreed with his decision. Marines made up 11 of the 13 killed troops. The withdrawal was completed after 20 years of fighting in Afghanistan. However, this withdrawal was unorganized and disastrous. This will not be erased by the Biden administration, which refuses to acknowledge it.

Biden didn’t mention the terrible withdrawal in his State of the Union speech. He tried to stay away from the topic, which seems to have worked because neither the mainstream media nor reporters are interested in it. We will never forget those who died fighting for Afghanistan.

Fox News spoke to Jack Keane:

“It’s a year later, and it’s still hard to fathom we did here. My judgment is that the President made a major strategic error in declaring an unconditional withdrawal, with an Afghan date, and it turned out to have been an unconditional surrender. And now we have the Taliban in charge doing what they were doing 20-plus years ago: providing sanctuary to al Qaeda.”

Today is a celebration for the Taliban.

Keane continues:

“Now, we know in those 20 years and for the sake of our troops and our intelligence service and our contractors who were there providing service. You accomplished your mission. This mission was to stop the Taliban from attacking the United States. It did not take place. There has never been an attack by foreign terrorists on America from Afghanistan. This decision is a disaster. It’s an accelerant for our adversaries, as we can see. It’s also a catalyst for our adversaries, Russia, Ukraine, China, Taiwan, and all the other mischiefs that the Iranians have been causing in the Middle East. And the devastation is, as Trey pointed out, as is clear and evident, the suffering of the Afghan people, what they’re leaving behind, close to 80,000.”

Keane said:

“I mean, how shameful is that, that we were not committed to get everybody out for as long as it took, and we should have insisted upon that with the Taliban and put our feet to the fire and just told them straight up: listen, we’re going to stay here and get our people out. Now you’re in Kabul and we have the address. If you’re going to stop us from doing that, then you’re going to feel the might of the United States on you as a result of it. They were not there, so we gave up and went. It’s a sad situation. It’s still, as I said, difficult to accept what we did.”

Although these heroes have passed, they will not be forgotten.
