Meanwhile, Taliban leaders took over the control of Kabul airport on Tuesday, and marked the departure of the last U.S. aircraft.

They also had a symbolic walk across the airport's sole runway.

He spoke to reporters at the Hamid Karzai International Airport and said Americans "could not achieve their goal through military operations.”
