Watching Rachel

[Beatlelvr]

Just interviewed Guam gov about relocating Afghan interpreters there. She's ready and willing. Part of the discussion was along the lines of, when? where? how?
Wouldn't that information enable the taliban to ambush
or sabatoge the whole thing? I don't think that should be made public.

1. I Felt THat Her Trying To Force THe Issue Was Very Close To Crossing A Line

I also listened to the following conversation and she and the Congressman were saying this should've been planned months ago as far back as August. Did she forget who was in the WH thenand that it was never going to happen with him? PJB has been working as fast as he can to get things done.

2. The congressman made that point. There are some things that can't be made public

for exactly those reasons. Obviously it will be necessary to do it quickly, but right now the public doesn't need to know anything other than that it's going to happen. I like Rachel a lot but I was a bit annoyed that she was demanding more details and suggesting that because details aren't public, nothing is being done.

3. There are huge numbers of "contractors" in Afghanistan. What the Pentegon does not want ...

... happen, is the way the Taliban (many armed by the US/CIA) shot the Red Army up as it left, or anything as photogenic as helecopters kicking people off the skids, leaving Saigon. I'm not too worried about it. But we need out of there and let the Afghans sort it out without outside "help".

4. BTW: If Rachel says she wants to tell a 'little' story - settle in or pause and get a snack or soda.

5. Or Take A Brief Nap

6. Yes. By the time you wake up

She'll have gotten to the much belabored point.

7. ...

but so true

8. Taliban leaders know a lot more about this issue than Rachel

would have time to talk about in a segment.
