“That’s when those 6,000 Marines and other—and soldiers that rushed into the Kabul airport actually could have pushed out and defended Kabul proper, the city, because the Taliban at that point had no interest in coming into the city yet, and we could have had the evacuation on our timetable as quickly as we could have,” he said. …

The ‘blame” is actually on those who facilitated a couple last November.

Kinsinger is a fake, phony, fraudulent, dumbass. The good news is he won’t be around very long.

435 members in the House, 100 senators— why do only a select few get news coverage from the leftist media?

Republicans who trash fellow Republicans get adulation from the press - Flake, McCain, . Kinzinger ... Democrats who trash democrats don't get any coverage...

I had to look Dalek(s) up.

How about something that more than 0.115% of the population knows.

Badgers, lots of hungry badgers.

When I want some intelligent and accurate information or opinions, I would NEVER ask the anal orifice Kinzinger. He is clearly, proved over and over again, a flaming moron.

Does he even appear on Fox, Newsmax, or One America News anymore?
The only time I see him is on CNN or the three major networks anymore.
