Because we were on the ground and we were watching everything closely. Unfortunately, they never listened to anyone, the administration listened to no one and what is the situation, now you see where things are? "And if they still don't listen after this, I can tell you that Afghanistan is going to be worse than it was before 2001," Alizai warned.
