We\u2019re withdrawing from Afghanistan, and the Pentagon is worried about our people being attacked by the Taliban.\u00a0 But that\u2019s going on, anyway, from what I can gather.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.military.com\/daily-news\/2021\/04\/30\/pentagon-preparing-taliban-attacks-during-us-withdrawal.html<\/a><\/p>\n

From the article: WASHINGTON \u2014 The Pentagon is preparing for possible Taliban attacks on U.S. and coalition forces as they withdraw from Afghanistan, a prospect that complicates the outlook for winding down America’s longest war.<\/p>\n

May 1 was the date all U.S. and other foreign forces were to have departed Afghanistan under a February 2020 deal between the Taliban and the Trump administration<\/em>. As part of that agreement, the Taliban halted attacks on U.S. troops, and none has been killed since then. But the Taliban said it will consider the United States to be in violation of the agreement for missing the deadline for full withdrawal. Their representatives have been vague about whether they intend to attack starting May 1.<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden’s decision to proceed with a final but delayed withdrawal adds a new element of security risk as the remaining 2,500 to 3,500 American troops, along with about 7,000 coalition troops and thousands of contractors, begin departing. Biden has said all will be gone by Sept. 11, the date of the 2001 terrorist attacks that prompted the U.S. to invade Afghanistan in the first place. \u2013 article<\/p>\n

You\u2019d think the Taliban would simply be glad to see us go, wouldn\u2019t you? So what is their point to picking another fight? Is it that we didn\u2019t all skedaddle outa there by XX date on the calendar?<\/p>\n

Well, blame Biteme for that, because as the article indicates, it\u2019s on his watch now.<\/p>\n

It is not on the other guy. He\u2019s been gone for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
