I, too, am a RandFan. Pompeo, not at all. Good questions by Sen. Paul.
There was never any reason to go into Afghanistan.
No one will ever tame Afghanistan, many have tried and failed.
30 days of daily B-52 runs was all that was necessary after 9/11.
The bureaucracy, disfunction and inefficiency where I work is biblical. We got a new boss that started 17 months ago. What he does best is talk about himself to tell us how great he is. He quickly recognized the problems, told us all the great things he was going to do.....needless to say he has accomplished nothing of value. He’s made it worse by coming up with solutions in search of a problem, adding more layers of BS-process to the simplest things.
The point is, it was a dumpster fire when he got here and did nothing, or it was fine when he got here and he screwed it all up. Either way he owns it now.
Same as Trump on many issues.
