let’s see NOTUS (narcissist of the united states) asks for 30,000 which is 25% less than the General requested.
by the time they get there - they will be withdrawn.
took 3 months to make up his mind. reminds me of the anecdote about adlai stevenson in the best and the brightest. he asks his adviser if he has time to go to the bathroom. the adviser says yes. adlai says “yes but do i want to go?”
the setting of a timeline only gives ammo to our enemies.
in sum, as lame as the applause.
this is a failed presidency.

If Obama walked across the Potomac, you’d yell “He’s too lazy to swim!”

The situation in Afghanistan is directly attributable to the fact that we used our resources, instead of bolstering the fight against Al Queda and the Taliban, to invading Iraq, a country that, geopolitcally, was firmly under the Wests’ thumb.
