Out Of Afghanistan: President Biden Ends America's Longest War.

PRESIDENT BIDEN WITHDREW ALL AMERICAN MILITARY FORCES FROM AFGHANISTAN OCCUPYING THAT COUNTRY FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS WHICH ENDED AMERICA'S LONGEST WAR. THE WITHDRAWAL INCLUDED THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN, AFGHAN AND ALLIES WHO WORKED WITH THE U.S. FORCES IN A JOINT EFFORT. THE WITHDRAWAL WAS A MASSIVE OPERATION AND ONE OF SUCCESS DESPITE THE CHAOTIC CONDITIONS THAT RESULTED FROM FAILURE BY THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY TO CHALLENGE THE TALIBAN ADVANCES AND TAKE OVER. THEY JUST CUT AND RAN. THE NOISE MACHINE, NAMELY THE GOP, SO CALLED CONSERVATIVES OF ALL STRIPES AND THE PRO WAR GROUPS CONDEMED THE PRESIDENT'S DECISION, ACCUSED THE PRESIDENT OF BEING WEAK AND SAID IT WOULD MAKE AMERICA MORE OPEN TO TERROR ATTACKS. THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS TO STAY IN AFGHANISTAN ANOTHER 20 YEARS AND HAVE NO CLER POLICY ON THE SUBJECT OR HOW TO DISENGAGE. IT IS A RERUN OF WHAT THEY SAID WHEN THE U.S. ENDED THE VIET NAM WAR. THEY SAID THE DOMINO THEORY WOULD BE IN EFFECT, ALL SOUTH EAST ASIA WOULD FALL UNDER COMMUNIST RULE AND AMERICA WOULD BE IN MORE DANGER. WELL, VIET NAM FELL AND NONE OF THOSE PREDICTIONS CAME TO PASS. iN FACT THE OPPOSITE TOOK PLACE AND VIET NAM IS ONE COUNTRY, ONE PEOPLE, UNDER ONE FLAG AND ONE GOVERNMENT. PRESIDENT EISENHOWER ENDED THE KOREAN WAR AFTER HE BECAME PRESIDENT. HE UNDERSTOOD THE MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED AS SET BY PRESIDENT TRUMAN, THAT MISSION WAS TO STOP N. KOREA FROM TAKING OVER S. KOREA AND AMERICAN AND U.N. FORCES INTERVENTION ACCOMPLISHED THAT. PRESIDENT EISENHOWER KNEW IT WAS TIME TO END THAT WAR AND DID SO. EISENHOWER FACED SOME OF THE SAME NEGATIVE VOICES WE HEAR TODAY, BUT HE MADE THE CORRECT CALL AS PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF. SO NOW PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF BIDEN MADE HIS DECISION ON AFGHANISTAN. HE UNDERSTANDS THE MILITARY AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROTECT AMERICA AND ITS PEOPLE WITHOUT OCCUPYING OTHER COUNTRIES. THE PRESIDENT ALSO UNDERSTANDS THE HISTORY OF AFGHANISTAN AND THAT THE COUNTRY'S GOVRNMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONTROLLED BY RELIGIOUS FACTIONS THAT THE U.S. WILL NEVER CHANGE. THAT CUSTOM HAS BEEN A TRADITION IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD FOR 4 THOUSAND YEARS. TO THEM, RELIGION IS GOVERNMENT. THE PRESIDENT'S JOB NEVER BECOMES EASIER, AND THE PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT. IRAQ IS STILL ON AMERICA'S AGENDA AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE THERE WITH AMERICAS SECOND LONGEST WAR, 18 YEARS AND STILL COUNTING. SOONER OR LATER THAT BRIDGE WILL HAVE TO BE CROSSED. PRESIDENT BIDEN'S FOREIGN POLICY SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO WORK. fOUR PRESIDENTS WERE GIVEN AFGHANISTAN 20 YEARS TO WORK AND 18 PLUS YEARS IN IRAQ TO WORK. JOE BIDEN, THE FOURTH PRESIDENT TOOK THE FIRST STEP AND MADE A DECISION ON AFGHANISTAN. IT IS A START TO A NEW FOREIGN POLICY UNDER A NEW COMMANDER IN CHIEF. THIS COMMENTARY WRITTEN BY JOE LORIO
