Ross Perot gave us Clinton in 1992.

Edit - i know you mean billionaires to help evacuate people but just sayin'.
...and sadly, I would take 1992 Clinton over what we have now.
Not really, Biden is proposing to do exactly what Clinton did: Over the horizon strikes. Which is how Osama got away.

They have the same handlers. Its just that the handlers also control the whole media, bureacracy, fortune 500 boards, financial institutions, education, and even hollywood now.

169 Afghans dead yesterday also just reported along with the 13 soldiers.

I understand how we get a count of 13 dead soldiers...but in all of the chaos who is actually taking the initiative to process the rest?

I'm not trying to be cold...but what structures are left right now to do these things?

No doubt about that. 1992 Bill is far removed from the present day Democrats.

Same handlers, true, but the 1992 - 2000 America with an administration I did not want or vote for was a far better America to live in than Biden's America.

....but to the original point, we sure could use more like Perot and the Colonel from 1979 at a time when our government is failing those at a time when they need them the most.

Personal rant here.
I don't know this politician.

The first statement is great. The last statement is great.

I hope the people in her area give her a big middle finger for the partisan bull**** between those two statements.

I guess it's the same old never let a good crisis go to waste.

EDIT
Like most Twitter cowards she deleted her Tweet after a bit of backlash.
I knew she would, so I archived it as soon as I saw it.

What's the point?

As soon as the US is out, Taliban are going to take hostages of stranded Americans and demand release of everyone in Gitmo.

By design. Because keeping the ISIS prisonersimprisoned at Bagram was not in our interests, per Milley/Xiden.

So they don't kill people in this country.

Really nice to know we still have some folks getting heroic stuff done there even if they have to work around our own officials.

Quote:
Looking back at an effort that saved at least, by their count, 630 Afghan lives, Redman expressed deep frustration "that our own government didn't do this. We did what we should do, as Americans."


Quote:
"He was not willing to let his father and his brother behind; even it meant he would die. He refused to leave his family," O'Shea, a former counterinsurgency adviser in Afghanistan, told ABC News. "Leaving a man behind is not in our SEAL ethos. Many Afghans have a stronger vision of our democratic values than many Americans do."

So we are bringing terrorists into our country and leaving US citizens and friends as hostages for the Taliban in Afghanistan?

This could not have been more screwed up if they tried. This administration is a complete and total failure.

Waiting for joe to say that he as a student of history knows there has never been a withdrawal of forces that didn't include setting several thousand terrorists free. He will probably let inshallah slip out of his mouth.
