"This tragedy should never have been allowed to happen, which makes our grief even deeper and more difficult to understand," he continued.

You’d think some slimy Democrat in Biden’s office could issue a statement on his behalf to send his condolences.

But no. It’s all about the “live America show” and how to script things.

Extremely Extreme Extremist was being sarcastic. You missed the back space regarding CNN at the end.

Mr. GG2 just told me that the former commander of SEAL team 3 announced on TV that he and a bunch of former spec ops guys are headed to Afghanistan to rescue Americans and they are going to kill anybody that gets in their way. Booyah!

I heard Biden made a gesture, too.

“To the families of all of you in whatever that foreign country is called, I’m sorry, I think, for what happened today, whatever it was.
I’m sending Hallmark sympathy cards that Dr.Jill picked out at the drug store.”

Interesting. There should be plenty of spare weapons lying around.

With Biden in hiding and Harris out of the country, who will be at the Dover AB when the service members return to the US? Maybe Jen Psaski. Or Jon Kerry.

Not surprised. It's a do-it-yourself situation these days, since the ruling communistas care about nothing but their own agendas.
