I was going to post that famous photo of GWB grinning and waving, but I don't want to see it in my old posts. I can't stand to look at him.
The first major new frame of reference that we’re supposed to adopt. Like hell we will!
That is what Britain thought after the fall of Khartoum in 1885. After news of the massacre of the Egyptians, British and Sudanese in the city, they got sucked right back in for another 20 year war.
Wonder how soon attacks will begin inside the USA?
They did not “bug out.” They “retrograded.” Hate to disturb your dream. This war is far from over.
“ They might want to attack us again”
The Taliban never attacked us.
My dream? This is a nightmare. Yes we “retrograded” ourselves into becoming an international laughing stock.
A strategic retrograde is long in order. We should fall back and consolidate our alliances with our genuine allies, our trading partners across the Atlantic and Pacific. Our situation in the middle east is strategic over-reach of tragic dimensions.
They didn’t get anyone out. PRIVATE organizations got about 10,000 out, not the regime. The regime tried to prevent those rescues.
Sigh of relief the last troops no longer in danger.
Amazing. It went from we don’t know somewhere around 10,000-15,000 to 6,250 in a week.
They say less than 250 are left, horseshit.
Earlier 7 busloads of women were turned away.
7 busloads could easily fit that many.
(This is of course if the reports were accurate that it was 7 busloads of American women as stated)
Now comes the Killing Fields.
