Recent Episodes of the Scott Horton Show
8/13/21 Daniel Davis on the Taliban Takeover of Afghanistan
Scott talks to Daniel Davis about his recent Fox News article praising President Biden for standing firm (so far) in his intent to end the war in Afghanistan. Davis explains that although the Taliban takeover and the increase in violence in the wake of the American military’s withdrawal is regrettable, it was also predictable. And no matter whether we left ten years ago or if we were to leave in another 20 years, a stable peace in Afghanistan is simply not going to be achieved in the foreseeable future. It’s better to leave as soon as possible, cut our losses and stop inflicting harm on the Afghan people who don’t want America in their country in the first place.
Discussed on the show:
- “20 years is enough, Biden right to plan firm end to war” (Fox News)
- “In Afghan War, Officer Becomes a Whistle-Blower” (The New York Times)
- “Rambo III (1988)” (IMDb)
Daniel Davis did multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan during his time in the army. He writes a weekly column for National Interest and is the author of the reports “Dereliction of Duty II: Senior Military Leaders’ Loss of Integrity Wounds Afghan War Effort” and “Go Big or Go Deep: An Analysis of Strategy Options on Afghanistan.” Find him on Twitter @DanielLDavis1.
