EXCERPT:
ENGEL: “But then if you step back and you look at what is going on, this is the United States after 20 years. This war used to be called Operation Enduring Freedom and it's turned out not to be enduring and they’re not leaving behind a society that is free, it is only free according to what the Taliban says it will be free, if the Taliban promises that it will be free. You could also look at this as a tremendously humiliating, moment of American humiliation, leaving, forced to leave on the Taliban’s clock and with the Taliban’s good graces. Tactically it makes sense but I’m not sure how history, I think history will judge this moment as a very dark period for the United States."
