Evacuation of US embassies: Saigon 1975 (L) and Kabul 2021 (R)
"There's going to be no circumstance where you're going to see people
being lifted off the roof of a (sic) embassy of the United States from
Afghanistan," President Biden said during a press conference on July 8,
2021.
Yeah, right.
Sunday on CNN, Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted the situation in Afghanustan "is not Saigon." He stated "Remember, this is not Saigon. We went to Afghanistan 20 years ago with
one mission, and that mission was to deal with the folks who attacked us
on 9/11 and we have succeeded in that mission."
Getting
rid of al-Qaida was only one part of the mission. We also wanted to
form a government friendly to us with an army that would be trained and
equipped by us. While we did succed in driving al-Qaida out of
Afghanistan, we failed miserably with the rest of the mission.
