Jake Tapper made a mistake and didn’t have the manhood to admit it, apologize and move on. Then he spent hours on Twitter trying to cover his butt.

He can live secure in the knowledge that his eventual senseless death won’t be for his country.

Gee, I haven't heard Tapper refer to it as a "senseless war" since Obama became commander-in-chief. We have seen casualty rates almost quadruple in Afghanistan since Obama took office, yet Tapper saves his "senseless" characterization for an action that took place under Bush.

These people can all rot in hell for all I care. Leftist scum.

"Jake Tapper attempting to "Concern Troll"... EXACTLY.

I wait for the day when someone like Tapper, instead of resorting to utterly lame argumentum ad verecundiam on social media, owns up to -- and apologizes for -- going along with planning the concern trolling in the producer's meeting before the show.

That's where all of this garbage comes from, FReepers. The producers huddle up with the talking head and more or less feed him the string of garbage he's going to parrot for the hour. There's a script with bumps and breaks, the guests, the topics, and the QUESTIONS.

The BEST ones TELL their PRODUCERS how it's going to be -- and that is pretty much just Rush and PhoneJob. I despise PhoneJob but he tells his producers to go flop regularly. The problem with PhoneJob is that a lot of garbage makes it onto his show anyway, and that responsibility lies with him.

The rest do NO homework and thus are open to making rube mistakes like Tapper did.

“”I was torn about the message of the film in the same way that I think I am about the war in Afghanistan itself””

Who asked him what he thought of the war??? Does anyone care what he thinks about the war??? Does anyone care about him at all? Was he not the interviewER?

Tapper looked bad squirming in his chair. Two different worlds colliding.

Tapper is right in that the war itself is senseless.
We’re not staying forever and when we leave the Taliban is going to take over again.
The corrupt government we shovel money to in Kabul won’t last much longer than the government the Soviets left behind when they got tired of getting guys killed there.
The question is how many more good Americans die while pretend to ourselves that we’re going to blast a Stone Age country into the 21st century?

Poor Jake. Nice Fella, just wants to make it in the media. Can’t help but be a product of his upbringing. Stop by 8100 more!

If people like Tapper had their way America would lose every war.

What's happened to Tapper? He wrote a pretty good book, The Outpost, about the war in Afghanistan and of all people should know quite a bit about the war and the reasons we are there and how our troops feel about it.

end of the vid:

Tapper: “maybe its just the feeling a civilian gets after watching this versus a soldier”

Wahlberg: “absolutely”

sorry mr tapper & wahlberg- this civilian does not think the war in afgahnistan was unnecessary nor feel the losses of our brave soldiers fighting to protect freedom was “senseless”...

What happened on the side of that mountain is something that is very difficult for a liberal girly man like Tapper to understand. It WASN’T people like Tapper who fought and won the Revolutionary War so America could become a country.

The idea for the war was correct. Go on, Blow the hell out of the idiots and get out.

The PROBLEM, as is always the case, is that liberals were liberals. War should be, as smarter men than I have said, Brutal, Bloody and short. Unfortunately Bush, whether under pressure from Liberals, his ‘comapssionate’ BS or a combo of both, started believing that war could be any other way.

Then of course, you have the Marxist and his crazier than Bush’s ROEs designed to get people dead. OUR people.

Now for Tapper. The above is the ONLY thing any honest reporter (should one yet breath) should be addressing. Because every problem of this mess comes directly from the above. We were right to go in. We were wrong for not vaporizing the place, salting the earth and leaving it uninhabitable for decades.

In the end, Tapper had to look to the
fellow elite, Hollywood Wahlberg to
try to extricate himself to the hole
he dug for himself. Typical.
