“Former President Joe Biden’s record as commander in chief will forever be defined by Aug. 26, 2021. That was the catastrophic day in the American withdrawal from Afghanistan that Biden declared should be completed by Sept. 11, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks that had triggered the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. ‘U.S. troops as well as forces deployed by our NATO Allies and operational partners, will be out of Afghanistan before we mark the 20th anniversary of that heinous attack on September 11th,’ Biden said on April 14, 2021. As American forces prepared to meet Biden’s deadline, the Taliban — that Afghan regime that had provided sanctuary to al-Qaeda before the 9/11 terrorist attacks — returned to power.” [editor’s note: The withdrawal that Trump negotiated but didn’t follow through on?
