watch this. the taliban is not the north sri et nam east army, not remotely comparable. no circumstance you see people lifted off the roof of an embassy of the united states from afghanistan. it is not at all comfortable. when you were face to face with the taliban, how did the administration underestimate them so dramatically? i think the largest miscalculation in the last 20 years is not about the taliban, it has been about afghan central leadership. there s been this continued bias saying more troops, more time, more pressure, build a viable partner in kabul, help build a nation with them. what they showed usury peetdly with corruption is that afghan political leadership couldn t.
