Well, to no libertarian’s surprise, the United States will stay in Afghanistan, despite President Joe Biden promising to leave the nation entirely in September.
The reversal was inevitable since it had been widely reported that the Taliban was taking over the country again.
The Associated Press is reporting:
“Afghan government forces are collapsing even faster than U.S. military leaders thought possible just a few months ago when President Joe Biden ordered a full withdrawal. The Taliban, who ruled the country from 1996 until U.S. forces invaded after the 9/11 attacks, captured three more provincial capitals Wednesday and two on Thursday, the 10th and 11th the insurgents have taken in a weeklong sweep that has given them effective control of about two-thirds of the country.”
This is going to be a forever war, isn’t it? John McCain would be proud.
