Watters World group explains the consequences of Biden’s “dishonorable” departure from Afghanistan
Former military officials agreed Saturday that President Biden’s withdrawal from U.S. troops in Afghanistan could not have worsened much and potentially left the United States “vulnerable” to another large-scale terrorist attack.
Former NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik, retired Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, and retired Army Representative Brian Mast, who served in Afghanistan, attacked the commander-in-chief on Saturday’s “Watters World,” which it was 20 years since the terror of the 9/11 attacks.
“We basically surrendered Afghanistan and returned it to the Taliban,” Kerik said.

Biden defends the withdrawal from Afghanistan for the 9/11 anniversary: ”How could it get out?”
President Biden again defended the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan on Saturday, arguing that the vast majority of Americans wanted to leave – and asking “How could one leave?”
Biden was speaking to reporters in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and was asked if the withdrawal of U.S. forces in late August marks a new phase for the country.
“If you had told someone we would spend $ 300 million a day for 20 years trying to unite the country after we got it [Usama] bin Laden, after Al Qaeda was wiped out, “he said.” Can al Qaeda return? Yes, but guess what? He has already returned to other places. “

The Taliban flag is raised on the seat of power 20 years after 9/11
The Taliban raised its flag over the Afghan presidential palace on Saturday, a spokesman said, as the United States and the world marked the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Ahmadullah Muttaqi, head of the multimedia branch of the Taliban cultural commission, said the white banner, adorned with a Koranic verse, was hoisted by Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, prime minister of the Taliban interim government, in a discreet ceremony.
The raising of flags marked the official start of the new government’s work, he said. The composition of the all-male and all-Taliban government was announced earlier this week and the international community received the disappointment that it hoped the Taliban would fulfill a previous promise of inclusive training.
