Obama issued his first formal message about Afghanistan since the U.S. military entered the final stages of its withdrawal from the country two weeks ago.
Obama is the last of the four U.S. presidents who presided over America's 20 year war in Afghanistan to speak out about the situation.
Eleven years later, that government collapsed in a matter of hours as the Taliban retook Kabul on Aug. 14 without firing a single shot. "After nearly two decades of putting our troops in harm's way, it is time to recognize that we have accomplished all that we can militarily, and that it's time to bring our remaining troops home," Obama said on Apr. 14.
Bush, who launched the war soon after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has said he fears for the women and girls of the country, who face near-certain repression under the Taliban's fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law.
