[ToloNews] The newly appointed acting defense secretary of the United States, Christopher Miller, in a message signaled that he could expedite the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and the Middle East, saying that "it’s time to come home" and that "all wars must end."
Miller was appointed as acting defense secretary by US President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... on Monday.
He said in a memo to his department that the US is committed to defeating al-Qaeda and is "on the verge of defeating" the group.
"Many are weary of war — I’m one of them," he wrote in the message posted on the US Defense Department website on Saturday. "But this is the critical phase in which we transition our efforts from a leadership to supporting role."
Miller said, "Ending wars requires compromise and partnership. We met the challenge; we gave it our all. Now, it’s time to come home."
Trump has been pushing for the withdrawal of his troops from Afghanistan by Christmas during his campaign.
The United States signed a peace deal with the Taliban ...Arabic for students... on February 29 and agreed on the gradual withdrawal of its forces from Afghanistan. But Trump last month said the troops should be home by Christmas.
The new Pentagon chief did not mention specific US troop deployments, but the reference to al-Qaeda appeared to single out Afghanistan and Iraq, where US troops were deployed after the September 11 attacks.
The concerns about an early withdrawal from Afghanistan comes as violence has remained high in the country despite efforts to resume peace negotiations in Doha.
The Washington Post reported that former US defense secretary Mark Esper after consulting with senior military officers, sent a classified memo to the White House this month expressing concerns about additional cuts.

What future do these warriors have to come home to? To get a job, then train a foreign H1B1 replacement brought in by Wall Street how to do your job as what happened under Obama/Biden after you have been given two weeks notice or loose your severance pay?

They have the same future we all do: Stagnation, stagnation, and more stagnation. It took us 40 years, but we finally are going to see what Jimmy Carter's second term would look like.

Jimmy Carter looks like Robert Taft nowadays. Even Slick Willy looks good when compared to the Dem cast of characters of today.

Historically, as I understand it, the companies that have been the strongest in this country, long term, were those started during one of our regular economic downturns. So those future civilians, and current civilians as well, should look at this as an opportunity to build over, build under, and build around the current failing behemoths. Do something better, do something new, turn a hobby into a micro-business... shoot, become a licensed plumber/electrician/mechanic/HVAC technician and you’ll have more work than you can handle at $50-100/hour. Factories have been working short handed for several decades because they can’t get people who can work with the computers that do much of the work.
Yes, it now takes a BA in accounting to do the work that used to be done by math-able kids with some high school, and for about the same pay, while other BA degrees lead straight to the fast food counter up-selling fries with that. But there are plenty of blue collar jobs going begging, for those not so proud of having useless college degrees that they turn their backs on honest, well-paid work.
Jimmy Carter looks like the self-righteous, Jew hating ass he always was, and Slick Willy now appears too old and sick to act the rapey horndog he was with and without his bootie buddy, Jeffrey Epstein. Joe Biden is merely the dregs of that particular vintage; just because the MSM shriek that he has won does not mean he has.

[IsraelTimes] Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... said Saturday that a New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... report that al-Qaeda’s second-in-command was secretly killed in Tehran this summer by Israeli agents was based on "made-up information" and denied the presence of any of the group’s members on Iranian soil.
Iran’s foes, the United States and Israel, "try to shift the responsibility for the criminal acts of [al-Qaeda] and other terrorist groups in the region and link Iran to such groups with lies and by leaking made-up information to the media," foreign ministry front man Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a statement.
The New York Times reported Friday that Abdullah Ahmad Abdullah, indicted in the United States for the 1998 bombings of its embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, was shot and killed in Tehran in August by two Israeli operatives on a cycle of violence at Washington’s behest.
The senior al-Qaeda leader, who went by the nom de guerre Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was killed along with his daughter, Miriam, the widow of the late Osama bin Laden ...... who used to be alive but now he's not...... ’s son Hamza, the Times said, citing intelligence sources.

From the article: "Sahrawi links much of the events during these periods, as well as the emergence of the Islamic State in the region, to the creation of the current Sahelian al Qaeda wing, the Group for Support of Islam and Muslims(JNIM)." It's hard to keep track of AQ because of the various name changes over the last twenty years. Suffice to say, the Islamists have their own internal struggle playing out.
