Don’t Withdraw from Afghanistan
May 25, 2021
Says the one who sent troops there in the first place, George W. Bush. Withdrawal is not “necessary,” says Bush. He is “deeply concerned” that a “vacuum” will be created without a U.S. presence in the region. The only vacuum is in Bush’s head. He has blood on his hands. “I’m also deeply concerned about the sacrifices of our soldiers, and our intelligence community, will be forgotten.” Does he mean the soldiers who died in vain and for a lie?
