Operation Enduring Chaos: 15+ Years of US Occupation Has Left Afghanistan in Ruins

“Now you look back. The people we are fighting today, [al-qaeda] we were supporting in the fight against the Soviets.”
Good article generally, but Al Qaeda has never truly become the enemy of the US, as the author mistakenly asserts. Al Qaeda are repeatedly used by the US to falsely justify US military presence now in any country the US desires for Israeli interests.
Besides of course, Al Qaeda is just an invented term for a bunch of mercenaries, like ISIS, who are ‘micro-managed’ by Hillary Clinton et al, and Al Qaeda actually fought alongside coalition NATO forces in Libya against Libyan forces loyal to Colonel Qaddafi.
