Many will see this crowing as an indication that American troops shouldn’t leave Afghanistan until “the job is done,” i.e., when it would be impossible for enemies of the United States to claim victory. That would be exactly never. The misadventure in Afghanistan was doomed from the outset. Afghanistan was never going to become a Western-style secular republic. If Bush’s handlers had cared to learn anything about Islam and Sharia other than what Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies told them, they would have known that. And that meant that anytime the Americans left, the other side would claim victory. The question that should be before Biden’s handlers now is how to contain jihad activity within Afghanistan so that jihadis from there, or trained there, can never again threaten the United States or its allies. Instead, they’re making sure the U.S. military is sufficiently woke.
“‘Afghanistan؛ lasting Peace and Security’ forum to be held in Tehran tomorrow,” Iran Press News Agency, July 18, 2021:
Tehran (IP) – The Deputy Secretary-General of World Assembly of Islamic Awakening, said in a press conference that ‘Afghanistan؛ lasting Peace and Security’ forum will be held tomorrow in Tehran.
Iran Press/ Iran news: According to Iran Press, Hossein Akbari said: “In the vebinar [sic] various Afghan and international groups and parties influential in the Afghan peace process, will be attended and we hope that the event will lead to peace in Afghanistan.”
Noting that the US expulsion has created a gap in Afghanistan, he added: “Despite their claims, the Americans have caused damage and increased drug production in Afghanistan. Of course, the Americans think of their own interests.”
Hossein Akbari said: “Americans bring poverty and insecurity wherever they go, but with the struggle of the Afghan people, they fled.”…
“After the US expulsion, Americans and their allies are seeking to launch a civil war in Afghanistan to prove that their presence in different countries will be useful,” Akbari highlighted.
Calling the expulsion of the Americans from Afghanistan a great victory for Afghanistan, the official said: “A government of national reconciliation should be formed in Afghanistan.”

Tragic to see what was a Bhuddist country forced into the sewer of mohammedanism
Infidel says
Precisely! What was once a great civilization devolved into a battlefield of different empires, and ultimately a wasteland

Infidel, this might have happened with Bush if he had been less lazy and more rigorous after 9/11 in looking into Islam–I wish it had.
But Obama has grown up Muslim, and had never formally left that creed, so it was *never* going to happen with him. He didn’t just buy the idea that Islam is a “religion of peace”–he threatened those who dared criticize the Muslim “Prophet”.
Infidel says
Very true. Obama seems to be an ‘honorary muslim’, who gets the support and adulation of muslims for defending islam, yet gets to live by his own rules however he wants. I’m sure MbS would have loved that privilege!
James Lincoln says
Robert Spencer accurately states:
“The misadventure in Afghanistan was doomed from the outset…. If Bush’s handlers had cared to learn anything about Islam and Sharia other than what Hamas-linked CAIR and its allies told them, they would have known that.”
Accurate knowledge of islam by the Bush administration would have saved countless American servicemember lives / severe injuries – as well as a staggering amount of US money.
Tragic beyond tragic…

Will all the tribes get together?
Infidel says
More importantly, what were they doing all these years? Weren’t all the tribes – Pashtun, Hazara, Tajik et al represented? Does the Taliban still believe that Pashtuns rule? That’ll be interesting!

The Taliban is no less genocidal now.

The jihadis travel to Pakistan ( America’s greatest “ally”) and from there spread the jihad

This crap was entirely predictable.

Thankfully the Israeli military is not and able to get you anywhere and at any time without you knowing.
Infidel says
The Israeli military is great, but there are limits to their reach. They’re not a world dominating military like the US, Russian or Chinese militaries, and for pure numerical reasons, they can’t be!
The reason they’ve been succeeding in Iran is cyberwarfare, where sitting in Israel, they’ve managed to disrupt Iranian operations by launching cyberattacks. But there’s no way they could pull off an Osirak style operation in, say, Natanz. Much less take on Pakistan, which is too far from them, unless India agrees to give them bases and backup support
Halaku says
The Taliban are a proxy for the Pakistan army, which raised, trained and armed them with the unending supply of American money pumped in for the war on terror! JW and its commentators have pointed out the absurdity of this suicidal arrangement from the very beginning, right after Bush sanctioned the “Airlift of Evil”, at the personal request of the Pakistani dictator Musharraf, who managed to extricate thousands of Pakistani officers, Taliban, Al Qaeda and Haqqani commanders from Kunduz, while the American forces that had surrounded them, shook their heads in disbelief at the ‘STOP’ and ‘don’t shoot’ orders from top.
