Many Afghans do not want us to return. Women living in rural Afghanistan do not look at Americans as liberators or protection against terrorism. They perceive us as killers who indiscriminately kill old men, women and children.

Go away Lindsey no one wants to hear from you.

This guy. There’s just nothing to say that hasn’t been said a thousand times before. Utterly contemptible.

ETA Was there one peep out of this chipmunk when Trump simply abandoned the Kurds in Syria? Did he say one goddamn word?

ETA Thanks to @inversion I see that he did. Good for him.

“We’ll have to,” he said. “We’ll have to. Because the threat will be so large … It will be a cauldron for radical Islamic behavior.”

And Libya. And Syria. And Sudan. And Yemen. And a host of African countries providing haven to Boko Haram.

The list keeps growing…

brave, brave sir lindsey. I can’t quite recall him making similar statements when his latest master, tfg, was releasing 5,000 Taliban prisoners and promising to hand over the country to them asap (in May).

Literally everything his said is total bullshit. When the interviewer interrupted he should have asked, “Are you fucking out of your mind?” That would have been much more appropriate.

A friendly reminder: SOFA (Iraq) and Doha (Afghanistan) are agreements that came from Republican presidents.

Graham has a gripe with both.

Sure. We’ll also be welcomed as liberators, build some schools, and totally establish a democracy. Just like last time.
