          That should give the US plenty of time to leave and end the war.

          They’ve been underestimated! Why fight when your enemy is in voluntarily retreat and leaving the country. Once western force is gone, Afghan forces will crumble with no resistance . This was obvious 20 years ago!!!

          By all accounts, they don't need to use force anyway.

          Have they taken any city/town by force? The Afghan Army is in full retreat.

          No reason for them not to shell the only airstrip at the airport. Secure a ransom from the US government so that embassy personnel can leave. Why not? An easy couple of billions.
