(Fox news, Aug 30, 2021)
CENTCOM Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie said the Taliban were “helpful and useful when we closed down operations.”
McKenzie said Taliban were not made aware of exactly when the last U.S. forces would leave.
“They did not have direct knowledge,” of our departure McKenzie said.
The general added that the ISIS threat to the operation remained “very real” until the end.
“Overwhelming” U.S. air power was overhead during the final days of the evacuation.
