Inside The Abandoned Mansion Taliban Soldiers Call Home

Why were we fighting these people again?

PBS Frontline: America After 9/11

The upshot of the new PBS Frontline documentary on America since the 9/11 attacks is that the “War on Terror” has entered a new phase. YOU are now the “domestic enemy” for distrusting and rejecting the political establishment and its stenographers in the media. YOU are the “terrorist.” The Evil Empire now wants to do […]

Taliban Agrees To Allow 200 Americans To Leave Afghanistan

The GOP’s solution to this problem was to reinvade Afghanistan, retake Bagram Air Force Base, break the peace deal, begin a new surge and resume the war and occupation. In reality, the Taliban had no incentive to keep American citizens there. The “hostage crisis” narrative was fake news. Yahoo News: “Taliban officials have reportedly agreed […]

Douglas Murray Rips Biden On Afghanistan

FOX News is pumping out this imperialist garbage. They’ve returned to George W. Bush and Tony Blair’s foreign policy and deploring America’s lack of will to occupy Afghanistan forever. That’s their foreign policy vision!

Nigel Farage: Joe Biden Has Taken America Back To Total Isolationism

My disgust with these people is growing by the day. Nigel Farage is correct about Donald Trump. As president, Donald Trump deferred to the Pentagon, showered defense contractors with record military spending, empowered neocons like John Bolton, “Mad Dog” Mattis and Mike Pompeo, gave MIGA and Israel everything it ever wanted, escalated all our wars, […]

Speaking Freely: Chalmers Johnson

Chalmers Johnson was one of the most insightful critics of the American Empire. It has been years since I came across his work back in the 2000s at the height of the Iraq War. I still have some of his books which I have been rereading lately since watching the momentous retreat from Afghanistan. Powered […]

George Galloway: NATO Backed al-Qaeda against Gaddafi in Libya

George Galloway makes an excellent point here. The very same people who say that we have to stay in Afghanistan to fight al-Qaeda which they failed to eliminate from the country after spending over $2 trillion to occupy it for 20 years supported al-Qaeda against Gaddafi in Libya and Assad in Syria. The Pentagon, Israel […]

Washington Post: Corporate Boards, Consulting, Speaking Fees: How U.S. Generals Thrived After Afghanistan

Don’t forget the FOX News, CNN and MSNBC strategic analyst speaking gigs. They’re all on television explaining how the end of the war and occupation of Afghanistan and the end of one of the biggest grifts in world history is one of the worst things that has ever happened to this country. The Washington Post: […]

Tucker Carlson: The Rules Are Different Now

This is the first decent clip that I have seen about Afghanistan on FOX News in three weeks. The problem isn’t Joe Biden who is getting killing in the polls for defying the foreign policy establishment and doing the right thing for once and withdrawing from Afghanistan which is the policy that we have always […]

Ari Fleischer: Biden Is Half The Man We Thought He Was

Lets bring on Ari Fleisher, George W. Bush’s f***ing press secretary, and ask him for his opinion about the fiasco in Afghanistan.

General Jack Keane: China Will Take Advantage of Power Vacuum In Afghanistan

Lets bring on General Jack Keane for the umpteenth time, the failed general who was behind George W. Bush’s surge in Iraq and whose company makes Humvees and who profits from defense spending on these endless wars, and ask him for his opinion about the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan. How will China, Russia and Iran […]

Rich Lowry: No, Afghanistan Is Not The End of American Power

Did anyone else catch this? Politico: “We are still blessed with an extraordinarily favorable geographical position, as a continental nation with friendly neighbors to the north and south, access to two oceans, and enormous reserves of oil and gas and vast amounts of arable land. It’s an incredibly propitious and secure base for the projection […]

Mark Levin: Can You Hear The Screams of Afghans, America?

Normally, I don’t watch Hannity’s insufferable show. I’ve recently changed that. We have to pay attention to Hannity, not Tucker Carlson, because obviously it is Hannity’s show that reflects where the GOP is actually at and where it is going in the Biden era. Mark Levin was on Hannity last night comparing the withdrawal from […]

Breaking Points: GOP Beclowns Itself With Afghan Criticism Showing ‘America First’ Was Always Fake

There were a lot of people who thought that we were overreacting to the Syria strike in early 2017. We weren’t overreacting. We learned something important that day. In the course of the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump created the perception that he was different and was going to break with the traditional Republican foreign policy. […]

Talibased? White Supremacist Praise of the Taliban Takeover Concerns U.S. Officials

It is true that we respect the Taliban. The Taliban fought for their religion and their country to expel a foreign invader. They fought for self government. In contrast, we fought for feminism, cultural degeneration, imperialism and to sustain an endless grift that enriched corrupt defense contractors and their puppets in the Beltway. The Taliban […]

RT: Biden and Trump Flip Flop On Afghanistan

Now that Joe Biden has changed his position on Afghanistan, Trump has changed his position to own the libs. The difference seems to be that Joe Biden learned something from experience.

Lindsey Graham: Joe Biden Is Scaring The Hell Out of Me

NEW from me:“You’ll be struck by this: It’s not every day an American president in effect repudiates the preceding two decades of American foreign policy. That’s what Joe Biden has done.”And has he in fact repudiated even more? Three decades? Or seven?https://t.co/JxjcvGPD2n — Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) September 1, 2021 Bill Kristol and Lindsey Graham hate […]

Secular Talk: Trump Calls For Restarting Afghanistan War

This has been painful to watch. It hardly comes as a surprise though. This is why Trump won Independent voters in 2016, but decisively lost them in the 2020 election. He says one thing and does another. He bloviates and can’t be trusted. In our case, we have been done with Trump since the Syria […]

Dan Crenshaw: The War In Afghanistan Isn’t Over

Newt Gingrich: U.S. May Spend More Money on Defense After Afghanistan Withdrawal

Clearly, we need to spend more money on the Pentagon, which sees us as “fascism” and its “domestic enemy” and is currently purging people who share our views from the military. We need to spend more money on these failed generals like Gen. Jack Keane who lose every war that they start and the corrupt […]

Vladimir Putin: Afghanistan Is a “Less Than Zero Result” For the U.S.

Afghanistan was a sinkhole of American lives and treasure and ultimately the occupation wasn’t so much about winning a war or counterterrorism as it was a useful means to redistribute wealth to the Beltway. Note: Everyone but the GOP understands that Afghanistan was a debilitating quagmire for the United States.
