The Pentagon said the attacks around Kabul airport in Afghanistan were the deadliest since its helicopter crashed in 2011. It is no coincidence that the Taliban came out of their strongholds that year and approached the Kabul border.
According to Al-Quds Al-Arabi, US political and military institutions have always made the same mistake and have been forced to admit it later. After losing themselves and their allies to thousands of soldiers and hundreds of billions, they decided to retreat and were subjected to a major military offensive in which US President Joe Biden plunged his administration into a new quagmire, possibly forcing military action.
It should be noted that ISIL-Khorasan Province, which carried out the recent attacks on American civilians, soldiers and Taliban elements, did not exist at the time and emerged in 2013.
It can also be blamed on US policy the Americans who decided to occupy Afghanistan and later Iraq in response to the 9/11 attacks. In practice, he engineered Iraq into Afghanistan after he was able to prepare Iraqi political elites for the government, some of whom had ties to Israel, and recruited Iraqi figures like Hamid Karzai.
The US occupation of Iraq paved the way for the rise of ISIS, which quickly took control of Mosul. ISIL later took control of large parts of Syria and became a threat to the region. It also became a center for recruiting armed Salafist groups that raised its flag in Asia and Africa or launched global terrorist operations.
Historically, there is room for reflection on how the failed attempt to Afghanize Iraq led to the announcement by the leaders of Afghan armed groups of allegiance to a group that emerged in an Arab country. Twelve years after Iraq was placed on the list of Washington’s retaliatory response to an operation accused by a Saudi-Yemeni group based in Afghanistan. The Taliban at the time agreed to try him on their own soil, but the United States inevitably sought to occupy an Arab country that had nothing to do with al-Qaeda and the lies of Iraq’s nuclear program.
Surprisingly, because of the recent operation as US prepares to end the evacuation, US experts must urge the Biden government to take revenge on the Taliban, even if it did not, and to strengthen security around the airport by deploying additional forces. It is the reversal of American scenarios that has led to a hell that continues for a long time in Afghanistan and Iraq.
