    • Baghdad - IQ  



    Along the lines of US withdrawal from Iraq under Barack Obama likened the "New York Times " New York Times  what is happening in Afghanistan , what has happened in Iraq during the reign of Obama when he took control Daesh and al - Qaeda large from Iraq and Syria parts, announced the succession of alleged forced Obama to return the US military to Iraq again .
    After grueling years of watching US troops fight and die in distant lands, the president grew tired of growing weariness about war among voters and brought the troops home .
    But not long after the withdrawal, an extremist group stormed areas left by the Americans, killing civilians, seizing power and blowing up billions of dollars of American efforts to support the state there.
    The newspaper added, this is what happened after President Barack Obama withdrew American forces from Iraq in 2011, where ISIS militants established an extremist emirate, which prompted the United States to send its army again to expel them .
    It is now a possible scenario in Afghanistan where President Joe Biden's order to end America's longest war has led to rapid advances by the Taliban, the same extremist group with which the United States invaded Afghanistan to oust it after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 .
    The challenge of advancing American interests in complex and remote societies such as Afghanistan and Iraq has baffled policymakers of both parties since President George W. Bush declared a "war on terror" nearly two decades ago .
    And in the years since, debates about how to define these interests have swung largely, sometimes driven by a desire to spread democracy and human rights, and sometimes by exasperation that costly US efforts have yielded so little.
    The result, according to some analysts and former US officials, is a perception among friends and foes that you can never guarantee how long the United States will stay .
    Ryan Crocker, a retired US diplomat who served as ambassador to Iraq and Afghanistan, said: "From my experience, we have a lack of strategic patience as a country and as a government...Unfortunately in the region our enemies have become dependent on us not to stay long in our path."

    Biden decided it was time to leave Afghanistan, despite the risk that future developments might turn the United States back on. In a speech last month in defense of his policy, Biden argued that it was not the job of the United States to reform the country .
    Biden added, "We did not go to Afghanistan to build a country and it is the right and responsibility of the Afghan people alone to decide their future and how they want to run their country." After two decades, he said, keeping troops deployed for a little longer "was not a solution, but a recipe for staying there indefinitely." Unnamed".

    That policy has come under pressure in recent days, as Taliban forces have captured six provincial capitals and exposed the weakness of the Afghan forces that were supposed to take over after the United States ended its withdrawal there .
    As they advanced, the Taliban were accused of using assassinations and bombings to sabotage talks aimed at forming a power-sharing government. Rights activists fear that restrictions will be re-imposed on women and prevent them from working and moving independently. Security experts warn that terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS may use Afghanistan to plot new attacks abroad .
    So far, Biden has given no indication that he might change course and his position has been supported by opinion polls indicating that most Americans support withdrawal.
