Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) predicted on Monday that the United States will return to Afghanistan to combat a resurgence in terror groups and attacks. Graham made the prediction in an interview with the BBC, claiming that the situation in Afghanistan would mirror the outcomes in Iraq and Syria after the U.S. pulled back its involvement. The GOP senator said that President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan will empower terror groups in the region, and the only way to handle growing terror threats will be to get reengaged. “Whether you like Trump or not, whether you believe it’s Trump’s fault or Biden’s fault, here’s where we are at as a world: the Taliban are not reformed, they’re not new. They have a view of the world out of sync with modern times,” Graham said. “They are going to impose a lifestyle on the Afghan people that I think is going to make all of us sick to our stomach.” “But most importantly, they are going to give safe haven to al Qaeda, who has ambitions to drive us out of the Middle East writ large and attack us because of our way of life.
