He added: “What you are seeing after 20 years of the opportunity that we provided with our presence there is the re-imposition of a kind of regime with an 8th century interpretation of ultra-conservative Islam that has returned to Afghanistan.”
Petraeus further stated: The situation is very desperate and for a very significant period it is a question of hunger beyond malnutrition. A large part of the population is also facing very cold winter weather.
According to him, America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was not only heartbreaking and sad, but completely disastrous. This assessment has been increasingly confirmed over the past year and a half.
General Petraeus was in command of the international coalition forces in Afghanistan nearly a decade ago.
