He’s a Muslim and a former FBI agent, which means that anything he says is likely to be the precise opposite of what is true.

It will inevitably lead to the Taliban winning.
The ‘government’ of Afghanistan is corrupt, incompetent, and hindered by a lack of national identity.
The Taliban works within tribalism and will, inevitably, overthrow the Afghani government and take over, put Afghanistan right back at square one.
We never should tried national building there. We should have arranged an extinction event and left the Taliban figure how to rule the corpses.

Our lesson is the same as Vietnam. We are visitors fighting an organic foe that is supported and supplied by a compliant civilian population soaked in ancient savagery.
