“When I came to office, I inherited a deal cut by my predecessor — which he invited the Taliban to discuss at Camp David on the eve of 9/11 of 2019 — that left the Taliban in the strongest position militarily since 2001,” Biden said in a statement Saturday. “I was the fourth president to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan — two Republicans, two Democrats. I would not, and will not, pass this war onto a fifth.”

President Joe Biden will withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America that were coordinated from that country, several U.S. officials said Tuesday.

A senior administration official called the September date an absolute deadline that won’t be affected by security conditions in the country.

I get the terrible feeling they are planning something .
ISIS or Al Qaeda are in the perfect position to make 9/11 look like nothing , there are thousands of Americans in Afghanistan .
I hope I'm wrong .

The timing would have been impeccable if it had happened on the 10th , 11th or 12th but as it happened over 2 weeks before the anniversary opportunism would seem to be driver of this attack , hit both your targets with one attack.
Continuing the evacuation just invites more attacks.
