Live Updates: ‘No one beyond the White House' can claim Afghanistan a 'success'
SKY News ^ | August 29, 2021

Tobias Ellwood, chair of the Defence Select Committee, has told Sky News that no one "beyond the White House" could claim the Afghanistan situation as a "success".

Mr Ellwood said the humanitarian crisis, the migrant situation and the state of terrorism in the country were all apart of the legacy left behind by the West.

He says: "I don't believe anyone beyond the White House could claim this is a success.

"We have a humanitarian crisis and migrant challenge on the scale of the Second World War.

"The economy is about to collapse. And as I just touched on, terrorism is once again active in the mountains of Afghanistan… It's not just back to zero.

"It's worse than that because we've actually gifted the Taliban so much military equipment, which makes their ability to enforce their ruthless interpretation of the Sharia law all the more easier."

If any US military officer says those same words, they can be court-martialed and dishonorably discharged. But it is the truth.

...ruthless interpretation of the Sharia law...

There is but one interpretation of Sharia Law.
The bully strong enough to impose his will calls the shots.

Islam is a great glue to defeat a kafir enemy.
Once in power, Islam is like Communism.

The guy at the top ain’t running things proper, so Sharia prescribes we lop off his head

If the current administration thinks this is a success I’d hate to see what they’d consider a failure.

Not true! Loads of people can claim success, like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox...

We have been in a constitutional crisis since a fraudulent election was orchestrated and placed an dementia puppet in the White House

It is a success for China and China’s adherents and employees in America. Chinese agents engineered it and ran it directing a fading employee running it from the White House.
