This is what happens when we mess up to such a grand level. Biden screwed up big time with our evacuation in Afghanistan, we still have Americans stranded there today a month later… But now General Milley is warning that it is a “real possibility” that ISIS and/or Al Qaeda are going to regroup in Afghanistan.
“Milley said the terrorist threat from Afghanistan is currently less than it was on 9/11, but that “the conditions could be set for a reconstitution of al Qaeda and/or ISIS.”
“It’s a real possibility in the not too distant future, six, 12, 18, 24, 36 months, that kind of time frame, for reconstitution of al Qaeda or ISIS,” he told lawmakers at a House Armed Services Committee hearing.”
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who testified alongside Milley, agreed with the comments, saying “there is clearly a possibility” for the groups to build back up with U.S. forces out of the country.”
“Al Qaeda has been degraded over time,” Austin said. “Now, terrorist organizations seek ungoverned spaces so that they can train and equip and thrive and, and so, there is clearly a possibility that that can happen here, going forward.”
“Our goal is to maintain a laser-like focus on this so that it doesn’t happen,” he added.”
“Austin said he wouldn’t rule out the possibility that the U.S. will have to return to Afghanistan.
“While I won’t rule anything out, I would just say it’s not preordained that we will go back or have to go back into Afghanistan again,” he said. “But if we do, the military will provide good credible options to be able to do that and to be effective.”
This seems like an obvious assessment. ISIS-k killed 13 of our marines while we were evacuating, and the Taliban released 5000 – 7000 prisoners that included senior members of Al Qaeda. So basically this evacuation set up a country for Al Qaeda and ISIS to come together. Thanks, Biden…
