Petraeus and McMaster assess the fallout from Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal

Let. Gen. H.R. McMaster joins host Margaret Hoover to respond to the suicide bombings that killed more than a dozen U.S. service members outside the Kabul airport. American forces will pursue the terrorists “to the ends of the earth,” McMaster says, but the attack shows “the limits of this sort of over-the-horizon approach to counterterrorism.” Gen. David Petraeus, interviewed the day before the attack, discussed the chaotic withdrawal from America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan and warned of the future terror threat from the region, including from ISIS-K. “The Islamic State is there now...trying to establish a sanctuary, most likely in eastern Afghanistan.” Support for “Firing Line for Margaret Hoover” is provided by The Margaret and Daniel Loeb Foundation, Robert Granieri, Charles R.
