Look Who's Back
16/08/2021 09:20 pmI guess Don the Con who took US troops out of Kurdistan and announced they would leave Afghanistan last May is now going around saying "I told you so" while also finding some excuse to explain how he missed his coronation last Friday. I guess the 13th was just too unlucky for him.
The events of the last few days, especially in Kabul, it is so reminiscent of those scenes from the 1970s when the helicopters took the last remaining stragglers from the US embassy in Vietnam. Whatever made the US think that it could run the joint when both the Brits and the Russians failed? They were also the great empires of their day.
Meanwhile back in Oz, sQomo will be happy for the distraction of the Taliban since it has pushed his incompetence off the front pages. For the moment.
