Three Years Since Kabul Airport Bombing

As the third anniversary of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan passes, criticism of President Biden's handling of the situation intensifies. The withdrawal, which resulted in the return of the Taliban to power, is described by some as a catastrophic failure, leading to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members in a suicide bombing at Kabul's Abbey Gate. Critics, including Rep. Ryan Zinke and former President Trump, argue that the administration's policies reflect abandonment of allies and a loss of American credibility. Zinke emphasized the psychological and military ramifications of the withdrawal, while Trump condemned Biden's approach as lacking dignity and strength. Amidst this turmoil, recent documentaries and public statements continue to highlight the perceived negligence and mismanagement by the Biden administration. The ongoing suffering of Afghans under Taliban rule further complicates the narrative surrounding the withdrawal.
