After 9/11, United States President George W. Bush launched a ‘global war on terror.’
Within weeks, the Taliban was toppled for providing safe haven for Al al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden.
In May 2011, US Special forces killed Osama bin Laden in neighbouring Pakistan.
As the war continued, diplomatic efforts to reach a settlement intensified.
In 2013, the Taliban opened an office in Qatar at the US’s request, but it wasn’t until 2020 that a peace deal was reached under the Trump Administration.
President Joe Biden stuck to the agreement and ordered a full withdrawal of troops.
More than 2,300 US troops and at least 35,000 Afghan civilians have died during the war.
For many, the events in Kabul are an unexpected outcome of the US’s longest war and what appears to be its chaotic end.

Problem with You media is ? You didn’t inform Tailaban they lost and their army is no longer worthy anything ..
Light up people ! We won American are not longer will be dying there !
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? _I thought_ *not…*
The Jedi would not have told you…
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Äfghänîstân?
I _thought_ *not,* the *biden administration* would not have told you either
What a great time to be an 18 year old. 2001
Congrats trump and biden
LOOKS LIKE AMERICAN INTERESTS CAUSE WAR CHAOS AND DEATHS ALL OVER THE WORLD
NO DEMOCRACY OR JUSTICE INVOLVED THANKS TO BRAVE MILLITARY
Mullah Omar said 19 years ago the Taliban will win this WAR and today victory is theirs
Why is people worried about the women and girls
Listen to Yvonne Ridley experience with the Taliban when she was captured by them and how humanly she was treated by the Taliban
Destroy population Afghanistan
And live all United States people there
Divided 333million to 50m people in Afghanistan after end of taliban
Clear Afghanistan population and United States billionaire live there
The Bush administration brainwashed people’s heads about 9/11 and Iraq War
A hasty withdrawal will create a vacuum in which the Taliban will take over immediately.
I wish sheikh Osama saw this but He is up there he is looking down with mullah omar.
I THOUGHT WE WAS THERE BECAUSE 911 WHAT GOING IN DAT COUNTRY HAVE NUN BUSINESS WITH US
consider that a lost war for the US
People who wanna leave just leave to other concerned countries …. 🙄
And then remove that graveyard from the map for good ….
Why Not targeting the Elite of the TERRORISTS.???
Bush start the war over 2 towers and usa hasnt stop even after killling the leader responsible for it and taking their oil. This is the problem when you bequeath grudge.
This stupid Elite members called this war, Bush, Clinton, Obama is second to the worst and stupid Biden.
Im shocked how fast the Afghan ppl just gave up and surrendered! If you need another man or country to come help you defend your own family, people or country then your a lost cause. That’s expectations that’s never going to be met. How long do you expect Americans to place their own people’s lives on the line, time, resources in-order to keep you safe? There has to be a limit to these kinds of expectations. Why does it always have to be the US? Where is Germany, France or the Canadians? Stop propping Americans up to be everyone’s savior. The Americans had no business in the Middle East and should have just let them figure out their own infighting. I hope the women and children of Afghanistan a better world but it doesn’t look like it’s going to be possible anytime soon.
United States is the most inhuman country, GO CHINA
Hahahahaha nice
American politicians : ” This will not be another Vietnam “.
Taliban : ” Hold my AK “.
So… Trump was right.
This fighting creates migration crisis for Europe.
So late US president Trump is actually smart than other presidents because He knew hasty withdrawal could lead to lost rather
🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫😭😭😭
Never before has the incompetence of one leader caused so much suffering.
George W Bush
Don’t forget Obamas Libya war that created countless displacements and slavery in the area. Obama created a slave trade and built the cages for children at the southern border but no one is calling him out. He did nothing for Crimea and allowed Russia to take over!
2/3rds of my life and now it’s finally over
Bush is a hypocrite
*The end of Indian and US political interference.* The rise of a good Taliban Empire… China and Pakistan did what US Russia India and Nato failed to acquire in 4 decades… *Long Live China Pakistan new Afghanistan*
INDIA,US, Israel, NATO & UN … all are responsible for chaos in the world
The war failed because of corruption in Afghanistan
Some people made billions and they are not sorry about it either.
usama bin ladin was a commander of US, he betryaed afghan taliban.
It’s not Biden mistake, it’s the leadership of Afghanistan, like literally on the ground everything favours the Afghan Army, but they were cowards to defend what they were given and left with, USA didn’t fail Afghanistan the Afghans failed themselves, this Al Jazeera needs to stop this disinginuos informations, this is wrong, what’s wrong with today’s Media 😡
Isi no 1 agency in the world
America=LOL
The US now has its evil eye on Iran because of Israel. May Allah destroy all enemies of Islam. Ameen
So who won?
People in suits.
Who lost?
People in Uniform.
Alexander the great, the Mongols of gengis khan, the Persians, the British, the Soviets and now United States. For over a millenia Afghanistan has not been conquered by any major super power.. thats impressive
America has failed in every war since the World War 2 . Stop 🛑 ur War mongering policy . It has failed ur economy and cost the taxpayers money while cows like Bush and Cheney made gold out of it . 😂
well this how terrorist america got in to Afghanistan
How is the Afghani peoples cowardice our failure. Keep that steaming pile of political 💩 to yourself. We trained them for 20 years, gave them some of the most advanced weaponry in the world. They laid down without a fight. No length of time, training, or capital will fix weak hearts & stomachs. They knew if they fought & lost, they would die. The Quran calls for it. The death of all those opposing while waging jihad. Weak.
Aljaseera : please ask your government (Qatar) why they are funding Taliban?
Luke 14:29-30 (KJV) Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Let’s see what the Taliban do, before we talk about failure. Right now it’s revolution, give it time to settle down.
The answer is Simple
Islamic state will fight against Taliban
And ISI (Pakistan)
Obama is the most guilty of all, and yet they give him a Nobel prize. What a joke
Not to mention the embarrassing show of how your troops and the druggy ANA soldiers your trained cant fight without air support
So these because we all have ADHD? Unable to Multitask
Many are feeling sorry for Afghans but I feel more sorry to American Tax Payers
I am mad we send Canadian soldiers. We lost 200 Canada Soldiers in Afghanistan.
Well, USA and NATO fought 20 years in Afghanistan to replace Taliban with Taliban.
Pretty sure if Afghanistan had oil the outcome wouldn’t be same
American arrogance humiliated 🔥🔥🔥🔥
“We’re not going to repeat those mistakes.” No, we made all new ones.
Russia will be happy because US laugh when Russia loss war in Afghanistan but History repeated us loss war in Afghanistan
Nothing will happen to kids and women because terrorist army left,Afghanistan is at more peace now,life is normal there,20 years and trillions of dollars and US achieve nothing but war crimes
When Team America World Police fails the mission.
Maybe it’s time we exercise George Washington’s advice and just be neutral.
Where is the accountability towards the Afghanis killing the innocent in the name of Islam?
The religion does not seem too peaceful.
Not failed,but still on plan,,sivil war is waiting.
American should arrest they’re warlord leaders and held them accountable for what they did around the world 🌎
Same is going to happen that us happening in most of Islamic countries (oh sorry not most i should use except Turkey).
What a hellish religion
AMERICA THIEFE TERARIST AND SUPOTER….AFTER 20 YEARS AFGANISTAN IN FAIL
I’ve never voted in my life and never will.
😱🤢😢
Bush have blood on his hands
He should be punished for his war crimes in 🇦🇫 😡
No One Can Invade And Win In Afghanistan 💪
Lol never mention the creation of taliban lol
Vietnam had protests. Once Bush was out of office the antiwar left disappeared. The Military Industrial Complex is very lucrative.
History lesson, whenever US step their foot onto other country’s land, expect chaos will happen, it’s fact.
Yes it happened in europe and japan.. Clearly..
@Misty Blue
Europe history lesson : do not poke russia/sovyet
Japan history lesson : shame on japanese emperor, he start the war, his people suffering, and in the end he is too afraid of sovyet coming to him after sovyet done with hitler, then he choose to surrender to US so he wont be topled down from his crown, he even didn’t do seppuku for his failure, and claiming he is descendand of amaterasu 😅
They also failed in Vietnam…and many more places…leaving them in chaos and destruction
well done..uncle sam..you get your self 2nd vietnam there
War should have ended with Osama Bin Laden…
The afghanistan was prospering with western allies up until ussr invaded afghanistan in 1979 and the civil war in 1992 and the rise of taliban up until us started rebuilding afghanistan after the invasion caused by osama bin laden
USA DOWNFALL
Bush 💩🐀🦉👈
Hahhhh😁😂👈
Women’s safe in Islam not ina west
Not going to repeat that mistake?
Uh?
Yeah you did…compounded by Obama, Trump and Biden.
Americans can’t stay the course…they lost this war like they lost Vietnam.
Another 9/11 is coming. Biden and Obama funded it
flight of Americans from Afghanistan.
The taliban did answer 20 years ago. they said they wanted proof that Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda had anything to do with September 11th, but the US government had no proof and still has no proof. It was a lie from the beginning. it’s a lie ending brutally like all lies do.
George Bush is a War Criminal.
Hole li’e wood
Okay I don’t know if anybody knows how much it cost on a daily basis for 300 million dollars a day x 365 days a year x 20 years now let’s look at the USA what are they doing for us what was that stimulus check all abouthow come we couldn’t get a hundred million dollars a day for the stimulus check but man-made warall that money wasted and here we go again with those idiots in Afghanistan taken over that country again so what did the Afghanistan people learn rise up protect your children yourselves push back on them evil terrorist
epic fail
Biggest terrorist in the world is America who have killed a huge number of innocent people.
What do you want with the Afghan women and not with the Saudi women?
When you started the war with lies…karma will haunt you.
“US has the clock taliban has the time “
Mission Accomplished!! NOT!!
I do not understand why you have to blame obama and bush you should be happy the war is over because it was not suppose to happen in the first place now the taliban and the afghans way of life will be tested will they go to war that is business now
The US miserly failed
Recall that on July 8, Biden stated: “The Taliban are not the army of North Vietnam. They are not, they are not remotely comparable in terms of capacity. There will be no circumstance where we see people being evacuated from the roof of an embassy from Afghanistan. “
