Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Saturday blamed the Obama administration for reports that the Iraqi city of Fallujah had fallen to al-Qaeda forces.
McCain and Graham had been vocal critics of President Obama’s decision to withdraw US troops from Iraq by the end of 2011, and they called the reports of al-Qaeda gaining control in Fallujah and elsewhere “as tragic as they are predictable.”
“While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape its share of the blame,” the Republicans said in a statement. “When President Obama withdrew all US forces from Iraq in 2011, over the objections of our military leaders and commanders on the ground, many of us predicted that the vacuum would be filled by America's enemies and would emerge as a threat to US national security interests."

Last US Troops Leave Afghanistan Ending 20-Year War: Pentagon .
The withdrawal of the US troops preceded the finish of August 31.
The last flight left at 1929 GMT Monday - not long before the beginning of Tuesday in Kabul, he said.
Departure cut off .
How that interaction will unfurl is muddled.
Everything considered, the US military spent more than $775 billion on tasks in Afghanistan since 2001, as indicated by the most recent accessible information from September 2019.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

1. Why the US bombed al-Jazeera's TV station in Kabul - By Steve James
The World Socialist Website - 21 November 2001
Just before the Northern Alliance marched into Kabul on Monday November 12, US armed forces
dropped a 500-pound bomb on the studios of the popular Arab satellite TV station al-Jazeera (the
Peninsula). No one was hurt, as the building was not occupied at the time by any of the 10 al-Jazeera
journalists and technicians based there, a decision having already been taken to evacuate the
building in advance of the Northern Alliance's entry into Kabul. The same attack damaged nearby
offices of the BBC and the Associated Press.
Immediately after the raid, the station's London bureau chief, Muftah Al Suwaidan, told the Guardian
newspaper, "al-Jazeera's office is in the heart of Kabul. The building is the only one to have been hit
so it looks like it was deliberate." The station's managing director, Mohammed Jassim al-Ali, said that
the US had been previously informed of al-Jazeera's location. Al-Jazeera has earned the enmity of
Washington for its critical coverage of the US war in Afghanistan, and particularly by broadcasting
interviews with Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders. Because of their impact on public
opinion in Muslim countries, the Western media and politicians had warned that the US was in
danger of losing the propaganda war. It seems that the US decided the best way to win the battle for
hearts and minds was to take out its critics.
Destroying the al-Jazeera office before the Northern Alliance occupied Kabul ensured that whatever
massacres and reprisals took place are less likely to be reported. Following the bombing, the
station's Kabul correspondent Tasir Alouni - who has become world famous for fronting reports
showing the devastation caused by the US bombing of the Afghan capital - was seized and assaulted
by incoming Northern Alliance forces. He was only released after the intervention of Paktia tribal
groups. Alouni was so traumatised by his experiences that he said later he had witnessed, “scenes
that, I'm sorry, I couldn't describe to anybody". Broadcasting later from eastern Afghanistan, he
described his condition as one of "deep psychological shock."
The bombing of the Kabul office is not the only attempt undertaken by Washington to disrupt al-
Jazeera's newsgathering and reporting. On November 14, the station's Washington correspondent,
Mohammad al-Alami, was detained at Waco airport during his efforts to cover the summit meeting
between George Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Al-Alami described how credit card
details used to buy the plane ticket to Waco were traced to transactions in Afghanistan. When Al-
Alami tried to leave Waco airport, police armed with M-16 rifles detained him, although he was later
released.
The US has issued contradictory explanations of the al-Jazeera bombing. At a November 14 defence
department news conference, Rear Admiral Craig R. Quigley told an al-Jazeera journalist that the
bombing was a "mistake" because "a weapon went awry". Challenged as to whether the US had
information regarding the location of al-Jazeera, BBC and Associated Press facilities in Kabul, Quigley
replied evasively, "I don't know that we do." Colonel Rick Thomas, speaking to CBS for US Central
Command, insisted that the building was "a known al Qaida facility in central Kabul... We had no
indications this or any nearby facility was used by al-Jazeera. We had identified two locations in
Kabul where al-Jazeera people worked, and this location wasn't among them."
On November 17, al-Jazeera's chief of Arab language broadcasting, Ibrahim Hilal, again accused the
US of deliberately targeting their Kabul office. Hilal said that the station had been on a list of US
targets ever since the start of the bombing campaign, and that transmissions between Kabul and
the station's headquarters in the tiny Middle Eastern emirate of Qatar were routinely monitored by
US intelligence.
2. Suggestions that part of US war policy was to deliberately target news organisations drew attention
from the Newsworld conference of media executives, meeting recently in Barcelona. Reflecting the
broad concerns amongst journalists, BBC World correspondent Nik Gowing told the conference, "It
seems to me there is some evidence to be put to the Pentagon about the targeting of news
organisations... It seems people uplinking journalistic material [by satellite] can be targeted
legitimately." Gowing noted, "al-Jazeera has been providing some material that has been very
uncomfortable." Gowing also compared the attack on al-Jazeera to the US bombing of Serbian TV in
Belgrade in 1999.
Speaking for the US military, Colonel Hoey reiterated Rear Admiral Quigley's line to the Barcelona
conference that US forces did not have the location co-ordinates of the al-Jazeera offices, and that,
in any case, "The US military does not and will not target media. We would not, as a policy, target
news media organisations - it would not even begin to make sense." But, as Gowing's comments
indicate, the bombing of al-Jazeera is not the first time that the US has bombed a TV station that has
broadcast reports contradicting official Pentagon propaganda about "targeted actions" and "limited
collateral damage."
On April 23 1999, at the height of a NATO bombing of Belgrade, US cruise missiles destroyed the
headquarters of Radio Television Serbia (RTS). Thirteen journalists and staff were killed and many
more were injured. RTS, a network employing 7,000 people, and the largest TV station in the
Balkans, had been providing footage and rebroadcast facilities to international news organisations,
ensuring the world's population had at least some inkling of what was being done to the Serbian
people. The attack followed weeks in which all the TV transmitters and private TV facilities in Serbia
had been destroyed, and after an ultimatum from NATO Air Commander David Wilby demanding
airtime to put NATO's case to RTS viewers. RTS and the Belgrade government of Slobodan Milosevic
had apparently agreed to broadcast six hours of NATO propaganda, in return for six minutes of
Yugoslav news on European and US networks. NATO bombed RTS anyway, with US General Wesley
Clarke overruling objections from other NATO governments.
Al-Jazeera has for some years figured in Washington's calculations in the Middle East and has
become a target for US ire because of its reputation for independent and comprehensive coverage of
Middle Eastern politics. Since its foundation in 1996, al-Jazeera has won a large audience across
North Africa and the Middle East, and has antagonised political leaders from Algeria to Saudi Arabia.
The station generally advances a pan-Arab nationalist political line and is used by the Qatar
government as an occasional instrument of policy. However, the station claims to employ staff from
a wide range of political backgrounds, and its most popular programmes are political debates and
talk shows which explore the most controversial issues in Middle Eastern politics - allowing open
debate between Islamic fundamentalists, liberals, supporters and opponents of the Middle Eastern
peace process. The Jerusalem Post estimates 40 percent of residents in the Gaza Strip watch al-
Jazeera, because the station regularly exposes human rights abuses, shows live footage of riots,
discusses women's rights under Islam, and criticises government parties in a region where the
broadcast media is largely under state control.
Last year, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy noted the growing impact of satellite TV in
the region: "From the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, Arab governments are worried they have lost
control of information, one of the key means they have used to stay in power in the past. Diplomats
in the region have dubbed the phenomenon 'the al-Jazeera effect'." In early October, US Secretary
of State Colin Powell asked the Emir of Qatar, who partly finances the station, to rein in its editorial
line. Al-Jazeera responded by publishing the request.
