President Biden will withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan over the coming months, people familiar with the plans said, completing the military exit by the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that first drew the United States into its longest war.
The decision, which Biden is expected to announce on Wednesday, will keep thousands of U.S. forces in the country beyond the May 1 exit deadline that the Trump administration negotiated last year with the Taliban, according to one person familiar with the matter, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to describe plans that are not yet public.

If true, it’s one of those “stopped clock” things. I hope it’s true.
September might has well be next decade. By then Russia will have invaded Ukraine (thanks to Biden’s weakness) and then the excuse will be “mUh rUsSiA”.
Wasn’t Trump criticized for trying to remove these troops? Will Biden be criticized?
The Taliban will mark it on their calendar.
Yep!!! The Democrats screamed about Trump withdrawing troops, saying he was a global security threat. Biden will be viewed as a conquering hero.
This is good news.
There is no success in this mission, nor will there be if we spend another 100 years supporting the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
Sounds like a First day of Ramadan gift.
Will our military leaders sand-bag Joe on the troop reductions the way they did DJT?
Bet you a dollar we’ll still be there after September 11.
Remember, Obama said he’d close Gitmo within a year of his Presidency.
Fire whomever came up with that stupid idea.
“Wasn’t Trump criticized for trying to remove these troops?”
Worse, they ignored his order.
Why telegraph this?
Gee, almost makes you wonder how the taliban might observe the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
Good. It’s about time. I wish Trump could have accomplished this — along with troops in other unnecessary places around the globe...
Taliban to launch new offensive in spring of 2022.
(Yes, they could roll on November 12, 2021 but those 72 virgins won’t be much fun if your dick froze off before you died)
This administration may seriously cause a decline in the number and quality of our armed forces after my listening to parents of children in the military or thinking about joining.
Trump ran on keeping military strategy secret to confuse the enemy.
Biden just told our enemies, help is on the way.
Liz Cheney was screaming the loudest
The Boonies would have us there for another 20 years
