But lets say we want to find this ISIS group in Afghanistan. How do we do that with no more intelligence assets in Afghanistan? Our CIA is gone and all those brave Afghan's that worked with our intelligence are either gone or in hiding and who are they going to talk to with no Americans in Afghanistan? Who? And what do we suppose will happen to the remaining foreigners and Afghan's left there if we start dropping bombs in Kabul surely killing innocent civilians since all the bad guys are now mixed in with the good guys. They aren't in training camps, they aren't in the mountains, they are in the center of Kabul. So how is Joe Biden going to get "retribution?
I eagerly await your answers to the many questions I've asked. Got any answers?

1. The USA had three goals to accomplish in AG. Get Bin Laden, knock out/weaken Al -Quaida and Keep the president of Ag in power and protected from the extremists. The USA achieved all three. There is no strong reason to stay there after 20 years.
2. Biden was not tied to Trumps deal. Biden could have decided to stay, but that would put our troops at risk for a military confrontation with the Taliban after there had already been a cease fire for over a year.
3. The big issue here is why were the troops evacuated before civilians. This was all based on an intelligence report taken in April 2021. That report did not indicate that the Afghan Army would collapse in eleven days. Intelligence reports are used to make decisions. Bush43 invaded Iraq based on an intelligence report that turned out to be wrong.
4. There are about 300 Americans left to get out by 8/31. Hopefully, they can get them out without any more casualties to our military.
