Myths Busted in the 20 years since 9/11
Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban's 1st deputy chair as well as the commander of the worldwide banned Haqqani Network (HQN), perpetuated a false narrative by pledging a consultative method for "a new, encompassing political structure in which the speech of every Afghan is mirrored and no Afghan people feel exempted" in an article published in the New York Times on february 20, 2020.
After the mealy-mouthed exit of US forces and humiliating capitulation by US-trained Afghan forces two decades after the 9/11 terror attacks, Haqqani, the Us international terrorist with a $6 million reward on his head, is the minister of defense of a hardline, exclusive Taliban administration in Kabul. After expending over $810 billion on defense expenditure, $125 billion on rebuilding, and sacrificing at least 2,230 soldiers in the battle against the Taliban and al qaeda since 2000, the US war against terror has run its course, ceding control to those it seized two decades ago.
Worse, there hasn't been any tangible improvement on the ground. Many misconceptions about the United States' future potential to exert influence on the world have been shattered by the United States' 21-year military control of afghanistan following the september 11 attack.
