The Taliban Are Bigger, Stronger, And Better-Equipped Than They Could Have Dreamed Of On 9/11

The Taliban are bigger, stronger, they control more territory. They are more -- well-equipped as a military presence than they could have even dreamed of being on September 11th.

People are very focused on how incompetent this withdrawal was, and it was. And contrary to what we just heard, about how it couldn't have gone better. It was a disaster. And it was horrible and awful, the lives lost, and just the failures there.

But really, we need to not forget that 19 of the last 20 years of this war, led by woke generals and political leaders who moved to nation-building, instead of -- instead of having proper metrics for success of how to defeat an enemy, they've caused this.

This is the Taliban are in a position of strength, not because of the last 10 days, but because of the last 19 years. And we need to never fight a war this way ever again, it is one thing to do this with the Taliban, it's entirely another to do it with a nuclear adversary, which you know, is something that we might be facing in the years to come.
