CIA-Beamter: Vorhersagen, dass Afghanistan zur Terror-Startrampe werde, „sind nicht eingetroffen“

**SS:** CIA deputy director at a national security conference stated that official security predictions about Afghanistan becoming a terrorist launchpad have not come to pass.

​

>“And so this isn’t a ‘mission accomplished’ sort of thing. But it is worth noting that in Afghanistan today, the dire predictions have not come to pass,” he said.

​

>“We have been engaging with them, all throughout this period, in various ways, as they have taken on the effort to combat both Al Qaeda and ISIS-K,” Cohen said.

Afghanistan hasn’t become a launching pad for terrorism “YET”, this is the key, the Taliban of the 1990’s invited Al Qaeda in and let them train to kill as many Westerners as they could. I lost friends on 9/11 and spent time in Afghanistan. There are amazing people who live there, despite the evil of the Taliban. Conversely I encountered worthless, evil, selfish people who literally murdered their own children to turn people against the West. It is a land full of extremes and we should not ever think that it will never be a threat, especially since many of the good people there have either left or been killed for their collaboration with us.

In any case, the news is positive

I hope it remains that way, but it’s only been a few years

Did not come to pass yet*
