A month short of the twenty-year anniversary of 9-11, the Taliban is taking over Afghanistan again. Everyone who paid attention to what the military and intelligence said knew this would happen in time. If America left, the Taliban would take over again. Biden said it wouldn’t when he defended his pulling our troops out. He lied. Simple as that. He tried to defend his policy of total withdrawal and just hoped it would be long enough before the takeover that he could escape blame. Well, now he’s hiding from everybody as the takeover happens quicker than most of us expected. And soon we will see if the Taliban will go back to their old ways. What will they do to all the Afghans who worked with us for twenty years? What will they do to the Afghan women and girls? How bad will it be? Or will they surprise us all? We will see.
