Yeah, let’s have more unproductive Benghazi style hearings where nothing is accomplished. Great idea

That’s probably where I was bunking at night. I was there for almost a week, but only had one show, so had a lot of time off to explore Sicily. Went everywhere except Palermo, as it was a bit far for a day trip,

Same propaganda we saw in the Iraq War.
Now what?
There is no plan.
But lets get hearing on this.
New from @CBSNews - on the 6 U.S. troops who died at Shuaiba port in Kuwait: no U.S. C-RAM. The incoming warning system would sound late. Some do not recall the siren prior to the deadly attack. Troops asked for more drone defeat capabilities, none came. It was recommended that the makeshift tactical operations center not be used because it was hard to defend and concentrated too many troops in one place.
I was critical of B iden and the lack of security at Abbey Gate, well, this is worse. It is a failure on multiple levels, they crammed troops in a spot with little defense and warning from an attack. I know the posters here who were critical of B iden, will you be just as critical or since its your guy its a different standard?

This is worse than Abbeygate? The recency bias is off the charts with this one.
Were there hearings on the Afghanistan withdrawal? Where? When?

Yes, there were hearing. Do you have selective memory?

I didn’t vote for either Trumpp or Bidenn. I voted against both, and for a third party candidate.
I’ve been critical of both.
As such, I am immunized against any claims of logical inconsistency or hypocrisy on that basis.

I was not calling you out. You have been consistent on this subject. But @92010Coogs blamed the deaths on B iden. Well, 6 troops are dead due to failures in leadership and the buck stops with the president. My question, will they be just as critical. RobGob, doen’t recall any Afghanistan hearings, but they happened.

I also didn’t vote for either. But I’m calling out anyone and everyone.
Geez, I can’t remember exactly, but I think it was around 2000 maybe? My wife thinks around 2002 It may have been when you were there. I’m trying to remember the place I performed in. Can’t remember if it was on base or in a restaurant across the street (I did stand up comedy, definitely not on a bill with Gary Sinise) . I one thing I remember about the base is they had Diet Coke instead of Coca Cola Light because service members preferred the American version. I’m
I remember now, the hearing where Blinken blamed everyone except those who were actually in charge. That’s quite some ownership right there, some high level pretzel logic.

Seems to be a common theme at those type of hearings and with government officials.
