WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday it’s “time to end” America’s longest war with the unconditional withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan where they have spent two decades in a bloody, largely fruitless battle against the Taliban.
Dubbed the “forever war,” the US military onslaught in Afghanistan began in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States.
Now, 20 years later after almost 2,400 US military and tens of thousands of Afghan deaths Biden is naming September 11 as the deadline by which the last US soldiers will have finally departed. The war is at best at a stalemate.

Republican Representative Liz Cheney says she would not support Donald Trump if he ran for the White House again in 2024 – prompting the former president to fire back in a statement branding her “crazy”.
“If Donald Trump were the 2024 nominee, would you support him?” she was asked in the Fox News interview.
“I would not,” Ms Cheney said.
Mr Trump quickly released a statement after her appearance in which he ridiculed Ms Cheney and her chances of re-election.
“So many people are looking to run against Crazy Liz Cheney – but we only want one,” Mr Trump said.
