Ron Paul predicted 10 more years in 2011, stating the war wasn’t even Constitutional to start with, and the Taliban are not al Qaeda.
Newsweek now admits it — now when it’s too late. They opposed and ignored Ron Paul when he was in Congress.

Mainstream Media Rediscovers Decade Old Ron Paul Afghanistan Speech: “He Was Right”
MONDAY, AUG 16, 2021
There’s always a clip… the great Ron Paul predicted everything. While horrific scenes from Kabul airport drove headlines in the West, former Congressman Paul’s words are trending once again. Newsweek of all outlets is on Monday running a simple headline: ‘Ron Paul Was Right’.
In 2011, two years before he retired from Congress, he stepped to the House floor to take up the question of ‘should we leave Afghanistan’. He said exactly ten years ago: “If we don’t get out now, we’ll be there for another ten years.”
…he began the prescient and prophetic floor speech.
“If we don’t we’ll be there for another decade – will be my prediction. The American people are with us.”
He went on at the time to once again warn of the perils of nation-building and of foreign intervention, and “democracy building”. He predictions were so right on that on Monday even the mainstream media is “rediscovering” the remarks.
… “We can’t change Afghanistan,” he said. “Even if you could, you’re not supposed to. You don’t have the moral authority, you don’t have the constitutional authority.” …
Dr. Paul proven right once again… watch the full speech below:
