WND Staff<\/a> – July 12, 2022<\/p>\n

When Joe Biden abruptly withdrew all American troops from Afghanistan last year, he left behind billions of dollars worth of American war machinery for the Taliban \u2013 the terror organization then taking over the country \u2013 to have and to use.<\/p>\n

He also left behind hundreds of Americans, despite his promise that he would see to it that every one got out.<\/p>\n

Further, there were thousands of nationals who had worked with the U.S. during its years-long presence there, and who were likely to face the wrath of the terrorists who took control of the nation, and installed themselves as the government.<\/p>\n

The U.S., of course, originally had gone in because of the Islamic extremists who were threatening and killing people and destabilizing that part of the world. And carrying out 9\/11.<\/p>\n

Bill Roggio, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of the Long War Journal, said in a report at Just the News<\/a> that now the Taliban controls all 34 provinces \u2013 as opposed to about three-quarters as of the 9\/11 date when Muslim extremists commandeered four jets and created terror in Washington and New York, costing nearly 3,000 American residents their lives.<\/p>\n

“The State Department’s policy essentially normalizes Taliban control of Afghanistan,” he explained. “This is absolutely insane. If the U.S. is unwilling to support the Afghan resistance, then it’s effectively ceding Taliban control to Afghanistan.”<\/p>\n
