I've not seen any commentary from former presidents on all this. I think there's a tradition of not butting in; there's an understanding of what it's like to be in the hot seat, and they had their turn and now it's so-and-so's turn, and leave him to it.

To your point..

It Bush had a few prescient points a month ago:

Fine. Whatever.

That wasn’t for me was it? I don’t think I said anything to get that comment.

I guess I wonder what a long term presence there that guaranteed women's education, etc. would have had. That would be nearly two generations of Afghans growing up in that situation. We're still in South Korea and Europe We still have a small presence in Iraq.

@loki I meant nothing by it. I said I hadn't seen any prez commentary, not that it hadn't happened. But fine-whatever meant I didn't feel like the point was worth dragging out forever.

No offense meant, Loki!

Nah. His handlers won't let him.

Please, the press will forget about it by September.

Joe will forget about it by Wednesday unless he takes his pill…

All I know is that Trump demanded it. I would be very careful about crossing Trump, if I were Biden. Trump is almost as dangerous as robots. And everybody knows how scared the elderly are of robots.

I may be wrong, but I think 44 broke that tradition.

In half.

Maybe...

But you can bet your ass.... Read my lips... it will resurface in Nov '22 and Nov '24.

The videos of Afghans clinging to the wheel wells of transports will be all over the news.

Not to mention the guy falling to his death.

I saw 2 fall in the video. It's being reported that it was actually 3.

This is the only known living being that didn't fall off an airplane wing in flight.

I'm so curious what those people were thinking. They must have thought it's somewhat like a train and they could actually make it if they held on tight enough.

They weren't on the wings. They were in the plane, but found to be carrying more than 3.4 oz of liquid in their carryon.

It’s astounding they got as far as they did…

Probably "hey... the falls not so bad, but the sudden stop is going to be a bitch".
