Analysis: America's Afghan war is over but the battle for Biden's legacy is only just beginning

The departing troops left somewhere between 100 and 250 Americans, tens of thousands of Afghans entitled to protection from former US comrades and an entire nation to their fates under fundamentalist Taliban rule -- along with an even more extreme faction of ISIS.For them, the"forever war" is far from over.But any sense that the US is free of consequences of a war in which it bled for 20 years is belied by the history of a country that exacts a fierce price from its former occupiers.

That last departing US jet followed scores of previous flights that lifted more than 123,000 Americans, Afghans and citizens of allied nations out of Afghanistan, in an extraordinary operation that seemed impossible only 10 days ago after the collapse of the Afghan government.The 13 US troops who died in an ISIS-K attack perished while giving Afghans and their descendants a chance of life in the US and elsewhere, which will play out over generations.

StCollinson CNN...are you starting to subscribe to Fox News drama fiction reporting style. Not a great move guys. To quote an old line from Law and Order after Trumps negotiations with the Taliban 'What did you expect, what did you reasonably expect.'

StCollinson SIV applicants are still left behind and no evacuation yet. Most of the people who have evacuated not the SIVs.

StCollinson We are concerned about the increase in violence at Kabul airport in Afghanistan. We urge the USA & ISIS to ceasefire, halt all hostilities and begin negotiations. The UN Security Council needs to have 8 sessions to discuss the issues. U.S armed forces must withdraw from Airport.

StCollinson You do realize that Americans and allies are still stranded in Afghanistan? Childeren are still stranded. NOTHING is over… except Biden.

StCollinson Oh fuck off. If he cured cancer and reversed climate change while bring about world peace, you would complain about how long he took doing it. Constant negativity from you time and time again.
