20 Years Later. Taliban retakes Presidential Palace – Afghanistan.

On September 11, 2002, 19 Muslim hijackers, crashed four passenger jets into two America landmarks:  the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  (The fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.)  At that time, al-Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden were headquartered in Afghanistan, that is, given a safe haven by the Taliban.

Oct. 7, 2001.  U.S. forces invade Afghanistan, beginning the long “War on Terror”.

February 2020.  Pres. Trump signs a deal with the Taliban, ending the war as of May 1, 2021.

Jan. 20, 2021.  Joe Biden becomes president, changing the Afghanistan withdrawal date to Sept. 11, 2021.

Aug. 16, 2021.  After most of the U.S. troops depart, the new Afghani gov’t falls to the Taliban.  Pres. Biden is told by the Taliban that all Americans are to be out by Aug. 31.

Aug. 26, 2021.  ISIS-K suicide bombers attack near Kabul airport killing nearly 200 people – including 13 servicemen.

Sept. 1, 2021.  143 Americans and 51 service dogs are left behind in Afghanistan.  (Over 100,000 Afghani refugees are brought to the USA.)

Biden declares our departure from Afghanistan “a success”.

The Taliban imposes Sharia Law killing protestors for not flying the right flag, killing a woman for not wearing a burka and killing a singer, because music is not allowed.

An August 2021 Rasmussen poll shows that Trump would win the election by a landslide if it were held today.  Only 37% of voters would still vote for Biden.
