It’s not a shot at either of them. He’s 78, it’s a self-deprecating joke, and a play on an old blonde joke.

Yeah, I use the term "we" rather loosely.

I agree, Joe was going to do it no matter what. This did give him a small amount of cover. Seems rather convenient don't you think?

Out of all the cover he could create, fabricating a terrorist threat by a group that isn't even the dominant terrorist group in the area and is hated by the dominant terrorist group in the area isn't a great plan. It gets even worse if your whole plan is reliant upon a particular terrorist group for security, but that tereorist group can't even protect itself from another terrorist group.

All of that to say that only this administration could be in this particular bizarre situation at this point in time.

For people that actually paid attention, half the country probably wouldn’t know that or wouldn’t care.

These are the people @POTUS trusts to safeguard Americans. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid: “There was no proof [Osama Bin Laden] was involved” in 9/11. “There is no evidence even after 20 years of war, we have no proof he was involved."

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is actually telling the truth at this point

Let that shite sink in for a minute.

The United States Government is letting the Taliban write the history of 9/11.

Rightfully so. They say the winners get to write the history. And clearly the Taliban have won the war in Afghanistan. Sad. But true.

If you're keeping score at home:

-The Turks have left
-The Danes have left
-The Russians have left (though, they didn't do shite but sit around and watch the show)
-The Canadians are leaving tomorrow
-The Germans are leaving tomorrow
-The US is withdrawing troops a little at a time
-The same for the Brits
-Haven't heard about the French
-The Indians just had a plane leave not too long ago, and I don't know when they are leaving

The threat isn't from the Taliban. They want us gone. The threat comes from the ISIS and Al Qaeda elements that are now in Afghanistan.


A distinction with no real difference. ISIS/ISIL/ISIK won’t do anything not quietly sanctioned by the Taliban.

They won’t need to. Taliban will be sanctioning their actions.
It’s not out of fear or respect of the Talibs by IS** it’s the partnership.
