A spokesman for the Taliban warned that US troops in Afghanistan have to leave by Sept. 11—the anniversary of the terrorist attacks that launched the United States into the war—after troops were re-deployed to the Kabul airport to oversee an evacuation.

Despite the president’s fantastical assurances a little over a month ago that Afghan security forces had the situation well in hand and there’d definitely be no hasty Saigon-style evacuation of the US Embassy, the Afghan government has dissolved, the Taliban control Kabul, and the US Embassy has indeed been hastily evacuated.
