Sen. Mitt Romney asked several interesting questions during his first question time slot at Tuesday's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing with Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Romney asked: "Has the Taliban abandoned their sympathy and collaboration with groups such as al Qaeda and the Haqqani network... or has that relationship been severed?"
Blinken replied: "The relationship has not been severed and it's a very open question as to whether their views and the relationship has changed in any kind of definitive way. I think it’s fair to say two things: one, whatever the Taliban’s views on al Qaeda, they do know that the last time they harbored al-Qaeda and engaged in an outwardly directed attack on our homeland, certain things followed which I believe they would have an interest in not seeing repeated."

Just so he can act shocked when he “discovers” the lie.
Ding, ding, ding!! Winner--dumbest question of the year!
He’s just dying to get us back in Afghanistan. Waiting for a false flag now.
“ whatever the Taliban’s views on al Qaeda, they do know that the last time they harbored al-Qaeda and engaged in an outwardly directed attack on our homeland, certain things followed”
Well they just blew up 200+ people and some of them were our guys so you better get to it Mr Blinky and start bombing the crap out of them right?
Have they abandoned it? Or has it been severed?
Answer: It has not been severed. But it may have been abandoned. We have no idea.
These people are just jabbering.

It’s all part of the show.
Gee....like it’s a mystery.
Whatever risks the US faces, YOU have contributed to it Mitt. You are truly as clueless as you are ego driven.
Mitt Romney, do you still sympathize with muslim extremists?
Mitt Romney, do you still sympathize with deep state?
Mitt Romney, do you still sympathize with globalism?
Mitt Romney, do you still transport your dog on top of your car?
Who is this Romney? Related to Arlen Specter?
Willard is always an asshole
At this point, even if Romney were to say something spot on accurate, I would not really care.
That's one of the more ironic things about Trump's rise. One of the arguments against Trump was that he had too large of an ego - but it was the egos of his critics that was a big contributing factor in making the environment possible for him to prevail.
That being said, I still can't stand Romney.
Should have asked if water is wet; would have been a more substantial question from Mittens.
Mitt,
Were in this mess because you and your traitorous RINO coconspirators wanted us in this mess. Just put a sock in it No one wants to live with your odorous effluvia.
I heard that and fell off the couch laughing.
