No Special Relationship then, just more America first. And weren't the 9/11 bombers from the US ally Saudi Arabia anyway?

Re: Parliament to be recalled re: Taliban in Afghanistan

Quote from The Sun:
Triumphant Taliban leaders are reportedly already offering a safe haven to Al Qaeda as it bids to create a "cradle of jihad".

The revelation made by a Pentagon watchdog report came the day after president Joe Biden claimed the war had ensured Afghanistan could not be used to launch terror attacks.

The US withdrawal and fall of Kabul came just weeks before the 20-year anniversary of the September 11 2001 Al Qaeda attacks that sparked invasion by Western allies the following month.

The objective was to topple the Taliban regime, dislodge Al Qaeda and capture its leader Osama bin Laden - after the jihadis carried out the attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people.

But now, with the Taliban back in power, a new report claims the terror group again has a safe place in which to plot mass murder.
So after all the effort, expense and lost lives we're right back where it started from.

Next time we have to take out the vipers nest it should be done with drones, bombs and missiles. Not ground troops.

Re: Parliament to be recalled re: Taliban in Afghanistan

There’s an obvious issue there, but the desperation of the Democrats to defeat Sanders that they were willing to push Biden into this position is contemptible.

Trump was an unhinged psychopath, but the fact Biden is better than that and crushed him in the election doesn’t mean you have to back him to the hilt.

I love how Starmer doesn't mention Blair, who took us there in the first place searching for weapons that didn't exist.

Also, the "What happens if we withdraw?" argument was not being made effectively in the US. The electorate were tired of the situation and just saw the cost in money and lives. That doesn't excuse Biden's actions though.

They were in deep mountain caves and tunnels - unless you use "instant sunshine", none of the above would work.

"Instant Sunshine" wouldn't affect people under a mountain, that why NRAD is under a mountain.

They're not under a mountain, they're in a cave, I remember Colin Powell banging on about complex cave systems like they were out of an old bond film complete with mock ups and the reality was they're in a basic damp mouldy cave

Re: Parliament to be recalled re: Taliban in Afghanistan

When the Americans were fighting the Japanese holed up in caves in the Pacific, they didn't try to go into the caves, they just sealed the entrances up with explosives.

I would have thought these days with long range drone, spy plane and satellite surveillance it wouldn't be that difficult to see which caves are being used and then use guided bombs and missiles to seal them up.

I think the track record of super powers in Afghanistan indicates things are not quite this simple.
