| 'Everybody screwed up': Blame game begins over turbulent US exit from Afghanistan |
| 2021-09-02 |
| As planned, the administration now has a massive new hostage crisis and mission to deal with. Our friends the communist Chinese may be called upon to assist. The media and Klingons to the rescue? Who knows, possibly Vlad Putin as well. Joe Biden leading a multi-nation coalition credited with the rescue of US citizens. .......all just before the election. UBL redux anyone ? "Never let a good crisis go to waste."  [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A week into the evacuation from Kabul, the US military was forced to take a drastic step: stop all flights from Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ...Former president of Aghanistan, part of the problem not part of the solution... |

| #12 Kansas Dude: If BHO hadn't given away the OPM Database to China in 2012-2014, there's a chance that parts of the federal bureaucracy would still work for us instead of China, and everything from the virus to the bugout we just saw wouldn't have happened. |

| #11 If everyone in government is to blame, then fire all of them. I’m good with that. |

| #8 The last US troops left Afghanistan on Monday. And we know that how? Would Biden tell us if we had left any Marines or soldiers behind? We left three Marines behind in the Mayaguez incident in 1975, and as screwed up as the Mayaguez incident was, it was a master class in management compared to what we just saw. |

| #7 "Everyone screwed up" is the classic narcisist dodge of resposibility. NO, YOU SCREWED THIS UP. The rest of us screwed up by not hanging you from a lamp post. |

| #6 /\ Interesting observation. I'm strongly encouraging Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) at Leavenworth to offer you an adjunct fellowship position. If you can formulate plausible past event scenarios, future event calculations shouldn't be much of a problem. In the final analysis, the likelihood of potential future events need not be high or low, but they should never be dismissed out of hand. They must be planned for. Recent events in Afghanistan will back this up. |

| #5 Who knows, possibly Vlad Putin as well. One of the greatest political opportunities missed in the last century was that of Moscow's. If the Soviets, who had the means and geographical location, had rescued most of the hostages held by Iran the Politburo would have reaped political and economic benefits untold - most favored trade nation, hands off in Afghanistan, loans to keep their economy running, no election of Ronald Reagan and an unwinnable arms race, et al. They just couldn't think out of box. |

| #4 Just The News - Evidence mounts that Biden manufactured weeks-long false narrative on Afghanistan. Yea, right. He did it all by himself during meds and therapy sessions. The man is an absolute genius. |

| #3 Blaming a senile, decrepit, old power-hungry fool who should be residing in an extended care facility, appears to be the preferred course of action. |

| #1 "In some way, everyone is to blame," a US official said on condition of anonymity. Translation: No one is to be blamed. No one is to be held accountable. |
