The Biden administration is now recognizing the consequences of the "greatest foreign policy blunder" that occurred 3 years ago during the bombing on Abbey Gate.

On Monday, Americans commemorated the third anniversary of the ISIS-K bombing at the Hamid Karzai International Airport, which occurred during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and resulted in the loss of 13 American soldiers and 170 Afghans.

The Biden administration's chaotic withdrawal has been widely criticized, with some arguing it has encouraged nations like Russia and Iran to take aggressive actions against the West.

According to retired Gen. Jack Keane, the most significant foreign policy mistake of the Biden administration occurred, and it triggered a chain reaction of events that we are currently dealing with, as stated on Monday.

According to the former Army general, he was informed by individuals in the same room as President Biden that, despite warnings about the Taliban's movements in Afghanistan, the president "stubbornly" proceeded with the U.S. plans to withdraw from the country.

Keane contended that the choice not to maintain U.S. troops in Afghanistan has led to an increase in global conflicts, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Iran's aggressive actions in the Middle East, particularly against Israel.

"Keane stated that the opposition views our political weakness as a huge opportunity for them to exploit our vulnerabilities."

The Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan has been attributed to a significant U.S. intelligence blunder, as the terrorist group had been gaining momentum even before the Trump administration's February 2020 deal with the Taliban, in which the U.S. agreed to withdraw all troops by May 2021.

Biden, who postponed the withdrawal date to August 2021, acknowledged responsibility for the Abbey Gate attack while also accusing his predecessor of initially leading the U.S. into a disastrous agreement with the Taliban.

In his August 2021 address to the nation, he stated that we were confronted with two options: adhere to the agreement of the prior administration and prolong it, or grant more time for individuals to depart; or dispatch additional troops and intensify the conflict. To those advocating for a third decade of war in Afghanistan, he inquired: What is the imperative national interest?

"It was time to end this war," he added.

The opposition to the administration's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan remains strong, with Vice President Kamala Harris being among the most vocal critics. In a 2021 interview with CNN, she stated that she was the "last" person to speak with Biden before he made the final decision.

The greatest foreign policy blunder of our lifetimes, as stated by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-LA, on Planet Chronicle Monday, led to a series of events that emboldened adversaries worldwide and allowed the Taliban to regain control.

He stated that sacrificing 20 years of effort and servicemen and women who served there was a terrible thing.

Biden honored the 13 service members killed in the August 2021 attack by releasing a statement on Monday. He stated that these soldiers embodied the best of what it means to be American: brave, committed, and selfless. Biden emphasized that the country owes them and their families a debt that can never be fully repaid, but the country will continue to work towards fulfilling it.

"Our longest war has ended, but our dedication to safeguarding our homeland remains unwavering. We will achieve this without sending thousands of American soldiers to engage in ground wars abroad."

Harris issued a statement acknowledging the anniversary of the attack on Abbey Gate and reaffirmed her support for Biden's decision to withdraw.

"President Biden bravely decided to end America's longest war," she stated. "Today, we must unite as a nation to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice three years ago. In their memory, let us renew our commitment to the cause they fought for: to safeguard and uphold the greatest democracy on the planet, the United States of America," she concluded.
