He also promised to expose the corruption of his former boss who, he says, fled the country with bags containing hundreds of millions of dollars of public money.

The general has the palace CCTV evidence to prove this, he says. He will share the evidence if he can escape himself.

That is a pretty big 'if'. And getting bigger by the day. Because a manhunt has been declared across the Afghan capital and this week the Taliban dragnet was closing in.

Why shouldn’t he escape with millions? Should he fall on his sword after America capitulated and leave his millions for the Taliban to spend?

Read Ghani’s resume. He’s the epitome of the feckless, useless, academic DC cocktail-circuit parasite.

He’s so much like everyone else in the DC bubble, its no wonder they appointed this clown to run their satrapy.

How or why anyone ever expressed confidence in our “allies and partners” there is beyond me.

We had to pay off everyone with suitcases of cash. EVERYONE.

Money never buys you “real friends”. My kids know that but apparently it is lost on multiple administrations, our state department, the UN, NATO, and our Pentagon.
