dagen: right.my personal opinion, but picking the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks on 9/11 shows that this is purely a marketing campaign on behalf of the biden administration. this is a public relations move meant to burnish the image of the feckless and weak biden administration. so what happens, it creates a vacuum in afghanistan that the government and cabal will likely fall. it's a total of 10,000 foreign forces. the nato forces will likely follow us out of the region and the treasury department which the journal editorial points out said in january that al-qaeda was gaining strength in afghanistan while continuing to operate with the taliban under the taliban's protection. so we invaded afghanistan in 2001 to destroy al-qaeda, they will be back just like the rise of isis in iraq and our troops will be back but how much carnage happens, how much greater weaknesses the united states show between september 11th and years out? maria: unbelievable. you're right, wow. spot on on the marketing
