Prep school, UPENN, Georgetown and then, Goldman Sachs. And she gets her international security experience from where?

If my math is correct, growing up-school-college-grad school, that has her going to Baghdad in 2006-07, to work for the Treasury Dept. I got there in 2007 doing security for the State Dept, which all of these people were attached to or working through during the country’s reconstruction.

The team I worked with, used to drive these clowns around Baghdad. If I remember correctly the Treasury Dept folks were trying to teach the Iraqi’s how to set up a banking system similar to ours, say, 20 years ago. Folks in this part of the world can’t bank at a Wells Fargo in Basra and then go into one in Erbil, when they’re short on cash.

Anywho, I’m pretty sure she spent her time, like most of the government folks did, bragging about where she went to school, lounging around Saddam’s pool on Friday and Saturday, attending the nightly Embassy parties all around the IZ, spending the wee hours of the night w/ (take your pick) a GI, Contractor or OGA guy, walking around the Palace and going to the Green Bean like she was somebody, and if she did take a ride into the Red Zone-she was the note taker.

So, between that, working on Wall St and then for the previous administration, where in the hell she got her security analyst creds. Sleeping w/ some SF or OGA Ops guy doesn’t qualify.

Can’t speak for anyone on here, but if I need advice on security related issues, I want some guy like Jack Bauer doing the talking, not some Ivy League clown that doesn’t know which end of the M4, the bullet comes out of.

I would occasionally visit the US embassy in Korea while I drove for the I Corps commander. Nice food.

Lets get this straight.

We are fighting a low level war in THEIR country.

So far this year the US has lost about 12 men killed in this war. Over 10,000 Afghani casualties so far this year.

They ask for peace talks and we agree, but before the talks start, their forces kill another US soldier. So we call off the talks.

Now exactly who is being hurt more by this delay?

I think they will get their act together and be back soon. This woman is deranged.

I’ve only been to the one in Baghdad. If its food service is indicative of similar service around the world, at other embassies, then that is about the only thing they do right. ‘Cause they don’t mess around when it comes to preparing some chow.

Another fool from the Obama regime named “Samantha”. Fools and traitors they be, plus one Susan Rice thrown in for added flavor.

#83. Secy of State Pompeo said that the Taliban lost 1,000 fighters in the last 10 days. Haven’t seen anything in the newspapers or on TV.

A loss this size would be a major defeat for them, esp. if these were frontline troops carrying out attacks on US/Allied and Afghan forces.

I suspect we have a lot more heavy air power available (that is the key word) in the region than most people know, and are using it extensively and in a deadly manner.

Also, love those drones “Grim Reaper”, “Global Predator”, etc. Like FED-EX, they will deliver right to your door.

It was secret until trump cancelled it. At this point this article becomes fake news. Another manufactured concern.
