We need only to arm every faction.

If it’s shaped like a beak, it’s aquiline.

I hate always being right. Of course they have planned to go back in. 😣

Has Leon saved the oceans yet? Lenin (and Ted Danson) wants to know.

One of the most pathetic officials to emerge from the manure ponds of California’s leftist enclaves and a Clintonoid.

The Senate approved him 98-0 for the DoD secretary slot and has never looked back since.

Now 83 , his family will have his institute to carry on his ‘work’ after over 50 years in “public service”. (and you wonder why California is so messed up)

Perhaps this was the plan all along. Screw things up royally, humiliate the US, get some of our people killed, and suddenly we have troops in Afghanistan for another 20 years. Business is good for war profiteers.

What is absurd is that they Muslim terrorists can only attack us if we let them into our country. They can’t mount an attack from Afghanistan. So what does the US do? We bring in thousands more Muslims to join the Future Terrorists of America Club. It’s all insane.

I figured this out. He either has stock in the defense contractors, or he gets kickbacks.

So, we flee Afghanistan, and leave them billions of dollars of equipment. That’s stuff we can’t get back. So, if we have to go back in, we have to buy ALL NEW stuff! (And it’s good for him, and/or his family).
