Domenech: Taliban Takeover Feels Like One of the Most Significant Foreign Policy Failures in America History

‘This is a devastating scene that we’re seeing’

EXCERPT:

DOMENECH: "This is a devastating scene that we’re seeing. It really feels like one of most significant foreign policy failures in American history. And I think that people who have that feeling of the shades of Saigon and everything we saw happen there are not exaggerating things. It's really a depressing moment for so many reasons. And no matter what your feeling is about Afghanistan, as you referenced earlier in the show, you look at the situation, you can’t help but feel like our military brass, our intelligence community, others, they failed the people who sacrificed so much and the American taxpayers who spent so much in order to support those that we saw as being the future in Afghanistan, who are now going to be once again, unfortunately, it looks like, subjugated under the Taliban and under the radicals."
