We had a leader that wanted to clean things up but the DS insiders didn’t want to take pay cuts on their corruption. The American people listened to the media instead of their own hearts, brain and eyes. It’s not the government that has a problem it’s the average stupid Americans. We need to separate the wheat from the chaff and start over.

There is fear and outrage streaming through former intel officers over the Afghanistan debacle.

Is there any shame and humiliation among the currently serving "intel officers?" The author lays blame at the feet of past Presidents (understandable). Is there any left to lay at the feet of those intel officers that got out within in the last 20 years?

"There’s also the nightmare of tactical weaponry now awash in Afghanistan, in the hands of the Taliban..."

Worse than that even - the Pakis are no longer afraid of us, they are Taliban-friendly and have nukes and delivery systems.

Think about that. Hard.

How? How,how,how in the world to do this. Agree this is the ONLY way, but in real life, practical terms, how in the world?

Unless we separate and start completely over from the ground up, there is absolutely no chance, every single institution is completely sick, corrupted and poisoned.

Lot of truth there except for this:

“America was whipped by a tiny rebel force and couldn’t even retreat properly.”

The Taliban didn’t whip America. Biden foolishly left the problem of a tiny rebel force up to the Afghanis. He handed off security to avoid any casualties. The Afghanis betrayed him, like always. Biden whipped himself.

Democrats are trying run away from this right now and put all the blame on Trump/Biden. Trump because he’s Trump, dangerous, and hated by the left, Biden because he’s falling apart anyway and expendable.

Anyone who wants to invade just send them to Mexico and they will walk right in. AND they will collect welfare. Biden won’t defend US soil. Why would he protect our interests any place else in the world?

“Afghanistan has shown the world — enemies & allies alike — that our military & intel assets are largely irrelevant because we can’t deploy them successfully.”

Well..... that’s what happens when corrupt traitorous scumbags are in charge.

Finally, if Afghani refugees pour into the US, there are profound implications for security, culture, the economy, & politics.

◾Are they properly vetted?

◾Do they hold Western / tolerant values re: women, gays?

◾Do they bring skills / education?

◾Which party will they support?

What??? The DS hasn't done nor cared to do anything about such things since Reagan was schnookered in the amnesty deal back in the 80's. And had been a growing problem since the 60's. Why on earth would the author or his DS peers give a flying fig now?

Biden & Co will struggle to respond.
 
Today's "response" was to be sure and wear a mask and get your booster shots. The Chicoms and Russkies are gonna have nothing to worry about as long as Icecream Joe, The Cackler and their governing Politburo is around.

In Caravans, Michener describes certain Pashtun traditions...

But since when (other than Orlando) has Muslim-on-gay attacks been a problem in the States? If they take over here, sure, but as a minority, they haven't been an issue.

There’s the nightmare of tactical weaponry now awash in Afghanistan, in the hands of the Taliban and — soon — on the global black market.

These arms will fuel chaos around the world for decades.

America is rudderless.

And the world now knows it.

I wonder. Do his colleagues call him Sherlock?

How'd you know? And their nickname for him is "NoSh!t" (because he thinks he really knows sh!t ;^)...

Note to Spook:

The Intelligence establishment is at fault, along with the entire National Security Establishment.

The problem is not enough of our warrior class is involved. Too many accountants, lawyers and other jack a moles.

Our entire NS Establishment comes from Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, Hopkins and West Point.

They are Epic Failures.
