A group of Taliban fighters released a collection of propaganda footage this past week including a photo appearing to mock the famed World War II picture of soldiers raising the American flag on Iwo Jima.

Looking at the Daily Mail article:

They sure look sharp in those uniforms. They could at least say, “thank you”.

I wonder if the Fords will hold up as well as the Hiluxes do. Maybe those are export versions without the thousands of dollars of crap on our versions.

Setting up for another war. Gonna need 5 trillion instead of 3.5 or just the 3.5 in case of war. Better push that through. Geez. This is right in front of our faces again. I hope Trump calls it out. After the taliban rubbing our nose in it, who don’t want to go back in and kick there asses. This is so transparent everyone should see what’s happening.

Agree. As much as this turns my stomach, I’m glad it is happening. This is mocking biden/pelosi/mcconnell more than anything else.

The treason that enabled all of this was on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 by ALL of our elected AND appointed when they swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.

If the Taliban tried to take Iwo Jima in WWII, they wouldn’t have even made it off the beach.

Nobody wants to go back in. On the Right, we're all sick of the Cheney-Bush endless wars. On the Left, they want this distraction to go away so they can get back to claiming that the US is the worst nation in the world - that's why so many on the Left are so mad at Biden right now.

Liz Cheney might want it, but she is pretty much on her own these days.
