Former Vice President Dick Cheney cautioned that terrorists will overrun Afghanistan much like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has in Iraq if President Obama continues his scheduled troop withdrawal.
DICK CHENEY: To avoid repeating President Obama’s arbitrary and hasty withdrawal of residual forces from Iraq, the tragic era that gave us the caliphate, we should have the drawdown of our troops in Afghanistan halted. The terror and chaos in Iraq, today, will only be replayed in Afghanistan if we abandon that country.
Obama said that no American troops will be left in Afghanistan by the end of 2016, even in the face of the similar troop drawdown in Iraq's terrible repercussions. Since Obama took troops out of Iraq in 2011, the country has been in turmoil from its differing regimes and ISIL.
