Bannon War Room discussing now...

Bannon more intense than usual-if that that is possible. Usually Fredricks is on until 4:00 Central time followed by Bannon, but had Bannon on covering Biden early.

"So this is Trumps fault because Trump wanted us to leave and did a withdraw agreement but even though Bite Me did not follow Trumps withdraw agreement, he said leaving was right.................Well then he is saying Trump was right!"

Yes, Xiden both tacitly admitted and then finally said out loud: Sleepy Joe. never. saw. this. coming.

This was yesterday from a former BBC reporter (he's British) talking to Aljazeera...

"The US looked at a map that had districts and cities on it ... The Taliban looked at a map that had the tribes on it ... (so) their planning (the US), made for not much of a fight ... and the diplomatic failing, the US negotiator Khalilzad, he seemed to take everything from the Taliban on trust, that the Taliban would negotiate with Ghani -- there was no negotiation.

It's taken everyone by surprise, including here at the UN ... There will be a UN Security Council Meeting 11 hours from now ... United Nations Secretary-General António will be briefing ... the UN are NOT evacuating people at this stage but confining to homes ... remains a very fluid situation ... When I was there 8 days ago, people were very worried about what would happen ... "

You're right and we're running out of patience for him. A very easy act to see thru.

I think you’ve got it about right. The neocons are busy airbrushing their failed nation building out of the history of the last 20 years.

In the end nobody cares about Afghanistan. This won’t hurt the Dems all that much due to top cover from media.

I’m trying to imagine some person getting appointed as boss at this enormous company and within 8 months the rank and file are snarling and cursing the boss, you’ve nearly completely destroyed the company in every direction, in fact it looks like sabotage, while the boss and his lieutenants sit in his office trying to figure additional ways to control and monitor our every move. Amid all this chaos the boss stands up in the shareholders meeting and refuses to answer a single question. Glaring.

Their actions and policies are a viruses.

His foundation is crumbling. Even that Dem stalwart, Norm Mineta, took him to task.

I really disagree. This is too big to ignore. It *really* underscores his incompetence. If nothing else, it cements a character flaw.

Except for ON BIG LIE.

First he claimed he had to make a decision on escalation in Afghanistan or honoring Trumps negotiations for withdrawal

Then towards the end he claimed he had campaigned on withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, and he was honoring his CAMPAIGN PROMISE he further went on how he was not going to do what the past Presidents have done.

You were far too kind in you observation. On the other hand, I’m sure China is very happy.

This sounds awfully familiar.
Did they mention masks, by any chance?
