    Yep. They say they executed a perfect withdrawal... an "historic achievement".

    The total lack of accountability isn't going to go away though. Its going to fester then manifest all over Biden's radical agenda.

    Joe Biden is a lame duck with 3 years to go. All that is left for Democrats is to try to steal another 5 trillion dollars from taxpayers before they lose the farm.

    What do you suggest? Rumsfeld is dead, Cheney and Powell are in their 80s. Bush II is out of office, aka fired. Robert Gates is out of office. Etc.

  4. This video clip is clearly a re-run, having been posted before not long ago.

    But.........how can it not be relevant on a day such as this even if McCain wore out his welcome in DC in many places?

    HE NAILED IT WITH THE BLINKEN MOTHERCHUCKER!!!!

  5. I have not seen any of the Blinken testimony- except for a quick surf-by for one minute.

    But I am shocked to see headlines already in news articles that indicate that he blamed Trump.

    I AM SHOCKED, LADS!!!!!! I AM SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DID NOT SEE IT COMING.

    Blinken lays blame on Trump as he defends messy withdrawal from Afghanistan

    What I’ve learned today:

    Hunter Biden is somehow relevant to Afghanistan

    and

    They read the New York Post opinion section in South Carolina.

  7. article at link below.


    Well, as we all know, governing and governments are not exactly the Taliban's strong point. Probably someone served Omar the Beheader decaf coffee by mistake and he ragged out bigtime. I know that would push me over the edge.

    Seriously, what a frigging trance-stance charade D.C. is involved in. Senators leaning on Blinken to reveal his plan to make sure that women are included in the government and that women's rights in Afghan remain the highest priority. Then Blinken bloviates away just as though we are holding some cards that we can play. It's all just trance-state stuff.

    Also seriously, the chaos in the government, to the extent that this article is true, describes a very difficult scenario for negotiating and cooperating with the Americans. You have to stand in line while they duke it out first and then after you agree to something you watch those who opposed come into power the next week. Never good.




    I will replay something I said about ten days ago to wit:

    Things are not necessarily going to be easy for the Taliban either just because they evicted another empire. The most unifying and legendary figure in modern Afg history was the leader of the Mujahideen forces that defeated the Russians. He walked on water and fought the long and tough war and was revered among many of the tribes. After the Russians left he tried to put a government together and it had some success but it was spotty with all the snakes looking for their piece of the pie or to control Kabul. The Taliban and its Al Queda buddies attacked America on 9/11. The world knows that. But two days before they attacked the U.S., they assassinated the aforementioned legendary Mujahideen Commander. Not good enough for them. Did not reflect true Afghan values.

    Yeh, putting governments together is not their strong point. And they know Blinken is aching to give them a pile of cash so that makes them line up like pigs at the trough more than ever. Oh that's right. Blinken assured the Senate that any money they got would come with the condition that it improve the plight of women.

    100 per cent trance state in progress. It's surreal. The other thing that pisses me off since you asked, is that just as I said Blinken and the other fairies in DC are doing the "equivalent tonnage" argument that I said they would do. Whereby the more pressure you put on them to get the Americans out, the more they fall into the pushback that says that they have gotten even more Afghans refugees out. Blinken did that today. Senators wanted to know where the fuck the Americans were and says that he has been able to get the cap lifted on AFG refugees to 200,000. Also, I will puke if I hear him say one more time that not all of the Americans want to leave. Okay, Secretary Dildo. You have pretty well played that card to death.

    This AFG scene is going to shitte the bed despite all the happy talk. Blinken and Biden have gotten all the lefties feeling peppy by lowering American standards. The new standard is that the withdrawal was "an extraordinary success" and that getting most Americans out is good enough for government work.

    HELL OF A JOB BROWNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. As a follow-on to my post above:

    Looks like they may be thinning the herd a little there in Kabul.

    They don't play well with others.

    Be nice is someone thinned that herd a little as Trump did with Solemenai and El Bagdadhi. But Joe prefers to kill U.S servicemembers and humanitarian aid workers.


    2 Taliban leaders mysteriously stopped appearing in public, forcing a spokesperson to deny one of them had died
