What we found out was that wiping an entire civilization or culture off the map was a lot harder than we realized. We couldn’t unseat the existence of an agrarianist regime with the level of economy you would expect from a country with no water access, even after we applied 50% of what our current debt was at the time to do it.
These leaders may have had the same thought you did, that at that time we had that capacity. But it was shown to be a bluff.
Dude, we got sucked into bombing the Taliban because they literally were shielding Al Qaeda. The Taliban never actually attacked USA like Al Qaeda did. But when Al Qaeda and Bin Laden asked the Taliban for sanctuary, the Taliban protected them.
ISIS-K didn’t exist when Afghanistan war started. And when ISIS-K came about, they attacked the Taliban and other groups. ISIS is seriously bad news for virtually everyone (Muslims included, even extremist Muslims like the Taliban).

We definitely wiped out Al Qaeda.
Today we deal with ISIS and ISIS-K, a different group.
Rebranding actually works on someone. Incredible.
ISIS-K is literally killing Taliban members my guy. Please keep up with who hates who.
ISIS-K is quite different than Al Qaeda.
Surely Taliban members never killed each other thus this point is both poignant and succinct.
