The Morning Rant

THE STENCH OF FAILURE
I'm having a difficult wrapping my head around the magnitude of failure in the Afghan Bug-Out that Biden ordered. The fact that he ordered it is not the issue. We should've gotten out years ago. Obama should've done it. Trump should've done it. Especially Trump. After all, it was one of the issues he campaigned on.

But, what an absolute sh*tshow.

This doesn't happen by chance. That is, the Taliban didn't just watch us packing up and leaving and say, "oh boy, this is going to be great! Hey Omar, get your AK, we're going to be in charge now." No. It happened too quickly for that. A blitzkreig-style offensive had to have been planned well in advance. Soldiers had to be recruited, weapons and equipment acquired, supply lines established, troops deployed, and they would have had to do it right under the noses of the U.S. military, Afghan and NATO intelligence, etc.

The Taliban was probably as surprised at how fast they rolled it up as we were. I have heard that the Trump administration had an exit strategy based on the Taliban keep whatever agreement was decided, with provisions to redeploy if necessary, not that it would have ultimately mattered, but at least there was some realization that the Taliban may not be entirely trustworthy. But Biden supposedly ignored all of that. There seems to be very little thought in the way Biden's Bug-Out was implemented, it was just "everybody come home now."

Then, "oh, let's leave 1,000 troops behind to help out." It was like they were making it up as they went along.

And then there's the 10,000 Americans left stranded. Shouldn't Americans civilians be evacuated first, and then the military, rather than the other way round? And it looks like the American civilians not second, but rather third priority, behind the military and Afghan refugees. Once again, our government wants to take care of everybody else first before it gets around to us.

So, what's going to be done about this? Who is going to pay for this massive failure?

And I'm afraid we already know what the answers are going to be: nothing, and no one. I will never forget 'woke' General Mark Milley getting up there in front of the cameras and saying "gee, we had no idea this would happen so quickly", like it was an unfortunate (but understandable) accident. What are paying him for? Isn't it to prevent precisely this sort of thing? They had one job -- at which they utterly failed. I feel the same helpless anger that I felt last summer when I watched out cities burn and the police retreating.

Milley should be strung up by his nuts and then spit-roasted over a slow fire. Besides this debacle, he was part of that cabal in the military that either slow-walked Trump's orders or flat-out ignored them. That should be a court-martialing offense right there. And he has been revealed to be an incompetent boob. He says he's struggling to understand 'white rage.' Maybe he should 'struggle' to understand the 'white rage' of millions of normal Americans who were counting on him to lead to armed forces who protect us was to protect us, but discovered that he was just another 'woke' clown. If I were CiC, I would demote him to private and have him peeling potatoes full time at Fort Dix while some nasty-ass drill sergeant screams into his face if he so much as twitches.

Can a general be demoted to private? Probably not, but it's fun to think of former general Milley in a dirty kitchen, struggling to understand 'white rage' over a giant mound of spuds.

But alas, we do not live in a just world. The worst thing that will even happen to Mlley is that he'll be asked to resign. And he'll supplement his full pension with a full-time gig on CNN or MSNBC as a military "expert", badmouthing everything President DeSantis does.

And our intelligence services aren't exactly covered in glory, either. The problem with the Deep State is not that we have a Deep State, but that we do not have a competent Deep State. The 1983 Beirut bombing, the collapse of the USSR in 1989, the 1993 WTC Bombing, 9/11, and now, the fall of Kabul, they completely whiffed on all of these things. That kind of track record does not inspire a lot of confidence.

Why? Because our Deep State is not run by competent bureaucrats, but by fools and poltroons who are only good at manufacturing evidence to bring down a sitting president. And, in the case of the FBI, trying to goad and trick unstable men into planning terrorist attacks, and then busting them for it, rather than stopping actual terrorist attacks by actual terrorists. If our intelligence services had been focused on focused on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan rather than the Russian collusion hoax for the last four years, maybe the rest of the world wouldn't be laughing their asses at us right now.

Vintage Internet Humor:

This is just a re-enactment of a joke audio recording that made the rounds shortly after 9/11. The lip-syncing is terrible, but the joke still mostly holds up. I think I was still using the Netscape browser and the Lycos search engine back then.

See, this is the kind of snark we should be seeing on the late-night talk shows, from Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert or Trevor Noah. Are these men not comedians? Do they not employ competent writers? Or did covid deaden their sense of humor as it does their sense of taste?

27 Bagram was given to terrorists, complete with weaponry. Who will hang for that?

The absurd excuse was they had to choose between the embassy or the air base. Well they made the wrong choice, but they also left all the weapons and aircraft intact, just walked out in the dead of night.

This is treason ... a coup .. sedition ... or just more of the same criminal activity by a globalist terror regime (DeepState). Forever wars, even if they have to arm our enemies themselves. (with our nation paying)

56 On the topic of a competent "Deep State". Well the name afaik basically refers to the permanent state apparatus. Being definitionally permanent, there's little incentive or room for them to be competent. Low accountability even if elected officials wanted to hold them accountable.

As you note, the FBI creates its own terrorists to catch, much like the man who farms his own nutria to collect the bounty. Catching real terrorists is hard, why go through the effort for the promotion?

90 Not sure why we are surprised at this.

Biden's boss, The Emperor Shit Midas Obama, did exactly the same thing when he abandoned Iraq after being too fucking lazy to rouse himself to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement with that country.

Hence the Iraq Bug-Out, the Rise of ISIS, the murder thereby of hundreds of thousands of innocents by those savages, and the need for Trump to come in and roll ISIS back.

Biden is the retarded, senile, asshole, less charming version of Ex-Prez'Nit Cock-Curious. And his "policies" reflect that.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Two types of structural analyses to check off. And today the f'ing server is having file system problems. Some sort of node thing a ma jigs they're working on. So every time I spit out a result plot and the system happens to hang my analysis crashes and I have to start again. I've been working 16-20 hour days for so long I don't even remember what not working or sleep feels like.

All because high-up muckity mucks panicked and laid off too many people the beginning of last year and I had to reverse engineer every method in about two weeks. They got rid of good young people that will take a decade to replace.

123 There may be an upside here in that it shows how normal people reject the unhinged and deranged religion of Wokeism.

Faced with a choice between the Taliban and American Wokeism, even the more Westernized Afghsns chose the former. It took 72 hours for the American puppet government to collapse; by contrast, the Soviet puppet government lingered a year and Muslims loathed communism.

Reports are trickling out that trangenderism and feminism were being force-fed Afghans, and this made even those opposed to the Talivan prefer it to the sickness and filth the United States brought there.

Obviously we find much abhorrent about the Taliban, but the lesson here is the Woke can be brought to their knees like the perverted little bitches they are. So that is a silver lining to those of us who want them also erased from these shores.

_____________

How could Trump do it when his generals refused to follow his orders? They were on t.v. openly laughing about how they defied the president and C-in-C and refused to comply with any of his orders that they didn't personally agree with.

Having actually been around Joey Pasteater during the early 80's on Capitol Hill and later as a political observer over the years, he is not the same. In fact, a lot of his fellow senators hated him from not shutting up at the time.

The real question is how much function does he have left after his aneurysms in 1988 and the effects of age plus possible strokes.

He was a coup supporter, so they may be afraid to get rid of him for what he could tell. Or he might be doing exactly what the Oligarchs want him to do, in which case he'll be rewarded.

273 I've read before the snark that NY's vaccine passports discriminate against blacks, who are vastly unpersuaded of the virtue of getting the WuFlu shot. But I can't find any information about prisoners in jail, either American or Canadian. Blacks are very over-represented in that area, too. Are *prisoners* being forced to get stabbed? I'd think that would be a human rights violation, but since the whole world changed 18 months ago, those sorts of arguments don't hold any power anymore.

In doing a Bing search, I found a fair number of results from early this year, first about prison staff getting the shot. Then there were a few articles about not *depriving* prisoners of the shot (especially here in Canada, where it was hard to get for awhile). But nothing in recent months. Nobody seemed prepared for people *refusing* the shot. In fact, there have been some stories about judges sentencing people to jail if they won't get it. How ironic; if human rights claims for prisoners hold up, it might turn out that the only place you're safe from being chemically stabbed in a prison cell!

275 Note that the Taliban announced their offensive on April 15 after Biden announced he was not bound by Trump's timeline and that he would pull the troops out on 9/11. They began gaining ground immediately, so these stranded "Americans" have had months to realize their peril and leave. I say "Americans" because a good number of them are dual citizen Afghans who went home and kept their citizenship as an escape plan if things went bad. They have citizenship but they are, have always been, and will die being Afghans.
I feel sorry for them but not outraged that they are abandoned.

Politics at one time did indeed end at the water's edge. "

Un, no man. That's not how it was at all. That's just how YOU thought it was, because you're gullible.

Are we forgetting the cover up of Stalin's genocide? The American left's love affair with the Spanish Republican butchers? The FDR admin's cozying up to communists? 70 year's worth of the establishment abandoning their allies to death and torture for their own political benefit? The same people engaged in treason under the guise of "antiwar" from the late 60's through the present? Fat Ted Kennedy's overture to the Soviets? The coddling of jihadists, enabling things like Ft Hood and Garland? Decades of Dem/MSM collusion to undercut our troops?

323 Dear Just a Side Note,

I can tell you, from person experience, that the ageing process doesn't work the way you think it does. I was in much better physical shape 10 years ago. Mentally, maybe a bit slower, but I haven't had brain aneurysms like Joe. I'm not looking forward to the changes at 80. Joe is nothing like he was even five years ago.

335 Read a horrific letter by one of the detainees in the Deplorable jail. They are being treated worse than prisoners of war. Locked down, terrible food, unsanitary connditions to say the least(description of feces, mold, being forced to clean themselves in sinks with dirty cloths).....We treated prisoners in Gitmo better. Taunted and beaten by guards.
How do people become such monsters. It is not enough that they have ruined these peoples lives by getting them fired, bankrupting for the terrible crime of protesting the election of a total fraud. They also have to break them physically and mentally. Why?
This is truly evil. These people are the real Nazis.

336 Three theories:

1. The defendants lawyers have juicy info that the only instigators were Feebs

2. Everyone sees what a real insurrection looks like in Afghanistan, and it's a huge black eye on the Feebs to continue calling Jan 6 the equivalent to that

3. This is the IC paying Biden back for trying to scapegoat them for Afghanistan after the IC was raising red flag after red flag that the Taliban takeover was imminent.

Huh. Scant is word used to imply "next to none", why are they using it here? It's also really out of place in an FBI statement.

Scant is a term you use when discussing the weather, to say there is an insignificant chance of rain.

scant
adjective
barely sufficient or adequate.
"companies with scant regard for the safety of future generations"

Soldiers by the runway at Kabul airport tell me that there are 10,000 people here processed and ready to go... but nowhere to fly them to because Qatar is refusing to accept more Afghans because they've reached capacity. "It's abysmal... someone needs to step up."

Sad, and this is why I don't think they'll ever be released. If you falsely imprisoned and tortured 500 people for 8 months, would you just let them go? Ever? Would that be safe or wise?
