This defeat was the end which was sought by Osama Bin Laden. As he explained in an interview to journalist Abdel Bari Atwan in an interview in 1996 in Tora Bora.
Talk about planning for the long-term!

Kurt Schlichter this morning:
"Yeah, there’s been a strategic failure of epic proportions by our civilian establishment. We need to fix that at the ballot box by tossing out every Democrat and every Liz Cheney-esque combat tourist who delights in sending our young people overseas to get ground up in idiotic wars designed to enrich their cronies. Hardest hit at the end of Afghanistan: Haliburton, Raytheon, KBR, and a hundred other contractors you never heard of. Oh, and the Afghan people, but they never really figured into this calculus except in the abstract idea that we were going to convert a nation of savages into Lil’ Vermonters living the Norman Rockwell dream of community democracy."
Agree with the sentiment but this won't be fixed at any ballot-box. Sigh!
At this point, it does not appear that it could be.
