Rachel Maddow shares reports that President Joe Biden will announce on Wednesday the complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan on September 11th, after almost 20 years there, leaving behind only enough troops to protect the U.S. embassy.
Reminds of back then when the yanks pushed helicopters off ships when they hauled ass out of Vietnam. One thing you can't say about post WW2 America and its international policy: not fast learners, in fact prone to frequent memory wipes. How much money? How many lives, American and Afghan? All because of a faulty premise: that 9/11 was planned in Afghanistan, when in fact it was planned and executed from Europe and the Middle East. Bin Laden just happened to be hiding there. Another American tragedy.
