The Hill: Former US ambassador to Afghanistan: 'The war is yet to come' 

Former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker on Thursday said more violence is on the horizon after attacks in Kabul killed 12 U.S. service members. 

Crocker, during an interview on CNN’s “The Lead,” said the U.S. withdrawal has emboldened militants in a number of countries, adding that “what happens in Afghanistan doesn’t stay in Afghanistan.” 

“The war is yet to come. This whole withdrawal announcement and process has been an enormous morale boost for Islamic radicals everywhere. 

Al Qaeda, Islamic State, Pakistani Taliban, you name it. They are on a roll, and they know it,” Crocker said.

WNU Editor: What is happening now reminds me on how embolden the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies became when they conquered much of Afghanistan in the 1990s, and the victories that ISIS had in conquering a good portion of Syria and Iraq in 2014. Nothing but suffering and war came out of those results.
