Public Confidence to React to Biden

 As this Afghanistan business unfolds....the question is....if 'fools' are gathered within the CIA, State Department, Pentagon, and White House staff...providing advice to Biden of a crappy nature....is he even smart enough to fire them?

The problem here, night after night for the next ten days...the news media is stuck with one single message....this was all Trump's fault.

By the end of the ten days, the question will arise....over the next two years, how many other events will occur where Trump is gone from DC and the 'Trump-power-complex'....is still running America and triggering magnificent and chaotic events?

Three?  A dozen?  Forty?

By the end of 2021....I don't expect too many Americans to really believe into this media message.  You'd have to paraphrase every single question that Biden gets.....since you aren't responsible for Trump-events, how can you reshape things to occur in a Biden-way?  Or is this the total landscape for the remaining three years?  

In simple terms, if you don't get off the 'blame-Trump-horse' soon....you will wake up to realize the horse has collapsed and actually be lying dead-like on the ground for a whole year.  Riding a dead horse....doesn't get you far.  

FYI....for all that training and equipment that the Pentagon and State Department talked about for almost 20 years....it all collapsed in a matter of hours and days in Afghanistan.  

This Kabul 'Rescue'

 Five observations:

1.  How this chaos unfolded quickly?  Well....throughout 2020, as the Trump administration talked to the Taliban folks....the suggestion was that any attempt to create a wave of warfare as the Americans would exit, would result in a massive amount of bomb-dropping.  

So as the Trump folks exited....there probably was a meeting where the Pentagon folks and the CIA folks met, and openly discussed how this exit would go.  I would imagine that both agreed on the Trump 'carrot-and-stick' routine to be a fundamental part of the strategy.  Then the State department folks (with Biden appointees) stepped in and said that was not the sophisticated way of handling this.  

The carrot-and-stick business?  Dumped.  I would suspect back in June, the Taliban had their strategy laid out and aggressively began their campaign, with nothing to worry about from the Biden folks.

The Pentagon and CIA now?  Probably at the furious level.  But hey....sophistication rules the game.

2.  How f**ked-up will the 'rescue' business go?  It'll be bad enough that most news organizations won't cover it or mention much on the nightly news.

3.  President Biden getting any positive spin out of this?  Zero.  

4.  Resurrection of al-Qaeda?  Somewhere in this chaos...there's this young guy with dreams of terror acts, and within two years....his name will be mentioned weekly as the CIA admits that history repeats itself.  

5.  A movie over this rescue business?  No....no one in Hollywood will touch this topic.
