Afghan government could collapse six months after U.S. withdrawal, new intelligence assessment says

The U.S. intelligence community concluded last week that the government of Afghanistan could collapse as soon as six months after the American military withdrawal from the country is completed, according to officials with knowledge of the new assessment.

American intelligence agencies revised their previously more optimistic estimates as the Taliban swept through northern Afghanistan last week, seizing dozens of districts and surrounding major cities. Afghan security forces frequently surrendered without a fight, leaving their Humvees and other American-supplied equipment to the insurgents.

The new assessment of the overall U.S. intelligence community, which hasn’t been previously reported, has now aligned more closely with the analysis that had been generated by the U.S. military. The military has already withdrawn more than half of its 3,500 troops and its equipment, with the rest due to be out by Sept. 11.

  1. That’s sounds very familiar, like how the Taliban and Bin Laden took power initially after being given weapons by us.

  2. Harris will fix it by sending Troops back in. At least we closed down oil and started buying it from Russia. Science.

  3. TOO Bad !!! Just like Vietnam TIME to LEAVE for America !!!! SAVE OUR Soldiers for a change !!!!

    We can’t stay there forever & police the world !!! Take care of our OWN country for a change !!!!

    They just have to kill each other over there & the strongest takes over just like Vietnam !!!!

  4. Stop these unesessary drawn out wars > go there to WIN crush the enemy , & get Out in a month not years !!!!!

    or Don’t go there at all , waisting OUR innocent Soldiers !!!!!
