#1 Things are going badly for the Biden administration. Open borders, the plandemic, the fall of Afghanistan, what will happen next ?

The administration is in desperate need of a news diversion, Guam, Taiwan, the Senkaku Islands in Japan ?

#3 He's simply been unable to determine how his default position of bent over, grabbing his ankles could have led to a more suitable outcome...

#4 Bold talk for a disengaged draft dodger. Please slither away Senator, just slither away and be done with it.

#5 Hey Mitt, You are part of the Washington DC problem that has eroded America’s credibility, reliability, and honor. Get on a plane and fly to Kabul yourself and fix this problem.

Do not care a Rat's Behind what that former Massachusetts Yankee Blue Rhino politician says.
He is a Socialcrat by his actions and deeds.

#7 /\ Get on a plane and fly to Kabul yourself and fix this problem.

The 'fix' may take a few arduous days, possibly weeks. Better take the entire House and Senate with you.

#8 I'm surprised he didn't try and blame Trump for it.

#9 I don't know why, but even though I read the headline Romney, my brain said John Fing Kerry. Now that I think about it, they are pretty much the same.

#10 /\ The traitorous Kerry will undoubtedly play a role. His political aspirations are still as real as ever. After Plug's departure, I could easily see him rolling in as Kam's VP.

#11 #7 We've also got about 1,000 generals and admirals. So, put together 535 Congresscritters with 1,000 FOGO's, throw in the top leadership of the FBI and CIA, and you've got a 2,000-person relief battalion. And don't worry about an exfil plan -- those folks are so smart they'll figure it out for themselves. Rangers Lead The Way.

#12 Well, I think this at least guarantees we won't be hearing much of the political and military wisdom of Petraeus, McRaven et al. for a while.
