So What Happened at the G-7 Meeting in June 2021?

Well....President Biden got chatty and basically told the other six leaders that the US would ensure 'forces' remaining in place to keep Kabul safe following the drawdown of NATO forces, 

Notes were kept from this meeting and the comments made by President Biden.

Three weeks after this G-7 meeting....the US quietly left in the middle of the night from Bagram Air Base.  Looking back, this one runway area would have made perfect sense to keep and operate while evacuating out of Afghanistan at the 'end'.  There's no indication that Bagram was even mentioned at the G-7 meeting.  

Was there a master plan in June existing?  There is zero indication of that now.  Even the G-7 folks have to be standing there now and wondering what President Biden was all chatty about or if he even understand the whole situation.


My Picks for VP

 If impeachment or the 25th Amendment come up....'President Harris' becomes a reality, so I have five likely Democrats that I suggest will be on her VP list:

1.  Secretary of Transportation: Pete Buttigieg.

2.  Governor of Michigan: Gretchen Whitmer

3.  Governor of New Jersey: Phil Murphy

4.  Andrew Yang

5.  Former Governor Kasich of Ohio (claiming some fake unity)

I suspect that the DNC will put a fair amount of pressure upon her with 'options'.  It has to be someone that would get only moderate opposition in the Senate.  Age to play a big deal?  Yeah....no one over the age of 65 will be listed.  

Rescue 'Who'?

 If you were given a rescue mission, and about ten minutes into discussing it....some Captain raised his hand and asked....'who are we rescuing, and how many of them'....if you can't answer that question, then the whole discussion needs to halt at that point.

I sat there last night, watching the CNN report situation in Kabul, and it's painfully obvious that the Pentagon has a mission, but has no idea how many Americans are in the country.  It might be 500....it might be 5,000.

It looks painfully obvious as well....that tens of thousands of Afghans might be flown out....only because there aren't any Americans at the airport, to take up seats.

The planning process?  Well....back in July...some idiot should have sat down and eyeballed the number business, and wrote a simple three-page plan to cover the basic departure.  But this never happened.
