I have always stated that any withdrawal from Afghanistan needs to be conditions-based regarding our own national security. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/26/politics/us-troops-afghanistan/index.html

If the Trump Administration continues to withdraw forces – in spite of intelligence reports that radical Islamic elements like ISIS and al-Qaeda are growing in Afghanistan – then the Trump Administration would be making the same mistake in Afghanistan that Obama made in Iraq.

In many ways a non-conditions based withdrawal from Afghanistan is a greater blunder than Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq against sound military advice because Afghanistan is where 9/11 originated.

Radical Islam has the will to attack America. Our goal is to make sure they don’t have the capability.
