Be prepared for this play by the MSM and Reich Wing.

Count on this. The day the Americans leave Afghanistan the media will locate someone who wanted out, but didn't. This will begin the "Jimmy Carterization" of President Joe. The number of days countdown the "hostages" are being held will appear on MSM TV shows.

The Reich Wing will say if you elect me I will get them out.

Worked for that Iran deal-making scumbag Raygun.

Prepare for a replay.

brutally honest, but true

I don't know anyone in the real world who even talks about it

The Reagan Carter hostage days were a totally different America

We've been there so long, most people seem to have forgotten it.

Strange - it was actually media coverage of Vietnam and photos that were published that were instrumental in turning Americans against that war. These days, we seem to regard war in a very "matter-of-fact" way.

no matter how hard they try. I predict, after a few months, that Joe’s numbers will go back up and the two infrastructure bills will be passed, further solidifying his popularity.

I just doubt that the American public is gonna give a damn about Afghanistan after a few months.

As Rove once said, one does not release a new product until the Fall. In the same respect, one dumps old inventory (Afghanistan) before Labor Day.

for sure. Hell we went to one war because civilian mercenaries were killed, not American soldiers. They are still there.

Who then then held them until Reagan's inauguration day for special effects.
