Now that we are withdrawing, we are creating the potential to rekindle the war.
Lieberman wrote a letter to Biden in June asking him not to withdraw. He said Biden knew he was giving up a base to fight terror, but didn't feel like he had any option but to withdraw anyway. Interesting TV interview.
He also said that the date we set as a target or goal, became an ultimatum by the Taliban. We asked for more time, and the Taliban said no, so we are now trying to meet their deadline (not ours), which he said was perplexing for a superpower to do.
