The Afghanistan defeat will be more disastrous than we can now imagine.
State Department spokesman Ned Price gave a press conference where he informed the Taliban about U.S. expectations. He announced that, "a future Afghan government that upholds the basic rights of its people, that doesn’t harbor terrorists, and that protects the basic rights of its people, including the basic fundamental rights of half of its population, its women and girls, that is a government that we would be able to work with."
Price did not have a clue about how inane this sounded. The country is in chaos, the U.S. has suffered a major defeat and he is listing demands. There are thousands of Americans trapped in Afghanistan right now. Our response is to anger and insult the people who hold their lives in their hands.
The President is portraying the withdrawal as a partial success, "Our mission to degrade the terrorist threat of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and kill Osama bin Laden was a success." He claimed, "I am president of the United States of America, and the buck stops with me," and then proceeded to blame everyone from Donald Trump to the Afghan military for the defeat. This was a large enough mistake that even Jake Tapper took note of it: "The president said that the buck stopped with him but, in fact, this speech was full of fingers pointing and blame." If the President loses the support of the Deep State media, he is finished.
Ned Price claimed, "We are confident, but more importantly, the military and our intelligence community leaders have spoken, and even testified to the fact that we will have capabilities . . . to detect and to disrupt any terrorist plotting."

Ned Price the State Department’s cheer leader…. Fixed, that’s the jist of what the biden sham wow fake government intends the citizens of this country dumbed down to. Listen to the narrative which is all theirs and broadcast fat and wide. No dissension allowed.
Sending a football cheer leading squad out on the field to play 4th down and 10 to go ball on the opposing team’s 3 yard line comes to mind as analogous here.
Idiocracy
How long before criticism of this Afghanistan debacle is censored by the social media platforms?
LoL. Seriously?? Deer in the headlights.
He must advise Pelosi too. She wants to “wait to see how the Taliban behave.”
