Americans spent years to capture one of these guys.

The United States has formally ended the longest war. But the war at home continues. The far-right and the bad faith actors on the left as well as war hawks on CNN, MSNBC, Fox and other entities are calling this withdrawal a "defeat."

The War on Terror was launched in December 2001 when the Afghanistan government led by the Taliban rejected the request to turn over Osama bin Laden, one of the key planners of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The Republican president George W. Bush failed to read his briefing and it led to the deadly terrorist attack on New York City, Washington, DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The junk food media gave Bush praise for telling the world that "we're going to respond" to the attack. 

Bush who was not popular saw his popularity rise eight months after September 11th. With the water carrying Fox leading the news cycle with bias coverage of the Republican president, questioning the war in Afghanistan meant you either were for the troops or for the enemy. 

The U.S. military overthrew the Taliban government. They established a western-back democracy that collapse the moment the U.S. abandoned its three bases.

Barack Obama, then Democratic president ordered the hit on Osama bin Laden. The al-Qaeda spokesman and chief operator was found in Abbottabad, Pakistan in a middle class neighborhood.

He was killed by the U.S. Navy Seals in May 2011. His body was captured and dumped in the sea.

Since the death of Osama bin Laden, the U.S. continued to be in Afghanistan taking on Taliban fighters.

The Taliban fighters were well prepared for any type of military assault. They managed to kill more American troops through proxy attacks like car and suicide bombings. The Taliban was also doing a media campaign to turn opinions against the U.S. and western back governments.

Washed Up 45 laid the groundwork for an immediate pullout. President Joe Biden followed through and ended the war in Afghanistan.

The United States has withdrawn the last of its military out of Kabul, officially ending a 20-year war in Afghanistan that has become known for its massive failures and lies that cost trillions of dollars and the lives of Americans and Afghans alike.

Afghanistan will run its own path.

The last C-17 plane departed from Afghanistan at 3:29 p.m. EDT Monday (11:59 p.m. Kabul time), putting an end to the country’s withdrawal, which was rushed by the Taliban’s quick takeover and threatened by a deadly suicide attack that the Islamic State’s affiliate in Afghanistan claimed responsibility for.

“Tonight’s withdrawal signifies both the end of the military component of the evacuation but also the end of the nearly 20-year mission that began in Afghanistan shortly after Sept. 11, 2001,” said Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, who leads U.S. Central Command.

McKenzie added that he can say with 100% certainty that every single U.S. service member is now out of Afghanistan and that there were no evacuees left at the airport when the last U.S. flight left Kabul.

About 123,000 people have been evacuated since Aug. 14 in one of the largest airlifts in history, though the increasing danger to Kabul’s airport resulted in some Americans and thousands of Afghan allies left behind. The White House said Monday that about 6,000 Americans have been evacuated or otherwise have left Afghanistan in that same time.

The Pentagon said there were no non-military Americans on the last military flights, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that there are “likely closer to 100” Americans left in Afghanistan who want to leave. McKenzie also stressed that some Americans expressed they wanted to stay Afghanistan.

“I believe our Department of State is going to work very hard to allow any American citizens that are left” in Afghanistan to be able to leave, he said. “I believe that we’re going to be able to get those people out. I think we’re also going to negotiate very hard, very aggressively to get our other Afghan partners out. The military phase is over, but our desire to bring these people out remains as intense as it was before.” 

Earlier Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Taliban has publicly stated it will allow people to travel outside of Afghanistan after Aug. 31.

“That does not mean we trust what they say, but there is an enormous amount of international leverage,” Psaki said. “There is a discussion about what our diplomatic presence may look like moving forward. Our current plan is to not have an ongoing diplomatic presence in Afghanistan” for now, but the U.S. would like to find ways to work with Afghans.

U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal that a small handful of remaining U.S. diplomats also left on Monday and are safe in Kuwait. This means there are currently no U.S. diplomats left in Afghanistan.

Biden tearfully mourns the deaths of 13 troops killed last Tuesday in Kabul.

The U.S. deadline to fully withdraw its military from Afghanistan came on the heels of a suicide bomb that killed 13 U.S. service members and about 180 Afghans near Kabul’s international airport. President Joe Biden vowed at the time to retaliate against those responsible for the attack, but said the U.S. would continue its evacuation operation. 

Since then, the U.S. carried out a drone strike it said hit a suicide bomber on the way to the airport, though the attack also killed 10 Afghan civilians that included small children. Early Monday, ISIS-K fired a wave of rockets at the emptying airport, one of which the Pentagon said was intercepted by its missile defense system.

The War in Afghanistan led to nearly 259,000 people killed. Of those people killed, 2,420 American troops killed.
