Yes, they never let a(manufactured) crisis go to waste.
From the John Solomon article.....
“Officials told Just the News that Biden and his security team turned down military commanders’ requests to keep U.S. troops in place temporarily, and they gave back the Bagram air base in the dead of a summer night even though it could have provided an alternate location for evacuating American personnel should Kabul’s civilian airport fall to the enemy.”
Is this total incompetence or as you said, Rusty, a(manufactured) crisis?
