Pulling our troops out of Afghanistan is the most effective thing we could be doing to protect them.  Too bad Congress is against that.

And the gold medal for deflection goes to....

It's not deflection, it's the truth.  Do you have a better solution?

The hawks think that because people are trying to kill our troops, we must keep them there.

I'm struggling to understand what the point of these bounties even is. What does this even acomplish? This action looks more petty than results oriented.

That's because this is a fictional fantasy designed to prolong our military money dump in the Middle East.

Collusion round two. Trump is a traitor. He is a Russian intel asset. It a shame that such a treasonous and criminal president was not convicted by the Senate.

Oh, since now it's Iran maybe possibly Trump will take action on this. Roll Eyes

In other news, that is a very weird enemy of my enemy is my friend type of Coalition between Iran and the Taliban. I mean, Prime political and military forces behind Shiite Islam and Sunni Islam working together like that is a very Cobra and Mongoose teaming up type of situation.

If they would with Russia, you don't think they would with Iran?

Yeah, whoever at Northup Grumman is writing this fictional story needs to do some more research. Season 2 is even less plausible than Season 1.

This is his last election. After his election he has more flexibility. Wink

Spoiler: It's olawakandi.

(Actually, the last four years make a lot more sense if they've all been written by olawakandi.)

Sure, it makes as much since as Iraq coordinating with the Taliban but no one really likes each other over there, anyways.

He has also not commented on the run-in (with injuries to US military personnel) between American and Russian troops in Syria. We have discovered that the counterintelligence probe into his dealings with Russia was shut down by his administration. And his only response to the poisoning of a prominent Putin critic was that the findings of German medical experts was equivalent to "no evidence".

This story continues to fall apart:



Quote
According to the officials on Thursday’s call, the reporting about the alleged “bounties” came from “detainee reporting” – raising the specter that someone told their U.S.-aligned Afghan jailers what they thought was necessary to get out of a cage. Specifically, the official cited “information and evidence of connections to criminal agents in Afghanistan and elements of the Russian government” as sources for the intelligence community’s assessment.

Without additional corroboration, such reporting is notoriously unreliable. Detainee reporting from a man known as Ibn Shaikh al-Libi, extracted from torture, infamously and bogusly fueled a Bush administration claim, used to invade Iraq, about Saddam Hussein training al-Qaeda to make poison gas.

The senior Biden official added on Thursday that the “difficult operating environment in Afghanistan” complicated U.S. efforts to confirm what amounts to a rumor.
WOW. I am completely shocked.....NOT

The intelligence community were the ones pushing these rumors, they're not patriots, they're traitors for pushing this dangerous lie. If there was one thing Trump did wrong, it was not mass firing them...

This was pretty obvious a ploy to derail the Afghan withdrawal and Trump’s electoral chances.

While I thought the story could very well be true, you're very likely right here.

With other words it was an attempt to steal the election from Trump? Literally by deep state and News Media? LMAO
