** 14-Sep-2021 World View: Interrogating Antony Blinken
I watched the Senate hearings today interrogating Secretary of State
Antony Blinken.
Blinken was always smooth and oily, lying freely and effortlessly at
every turn.
The Republicans were highly critical of Blinken, and accused him and
the Biden administration of botching the evacuation and lying
constantly about it, with the surrender of Bagram airbase being the
worst mistake.
The Democrats were also highly critical of Blinken, but they put it
into the context of the last 20 years, saying that every
administration has lied to the American people, including Trump, who
signed the surrender agreement with the Taliban in February 2020.
I'm just numb watching this whole thing. I've repeatedly described
the Afghanistan war effort as farcical, starting with Obama's "surge"
in 2009. I described how each action by the Obama and Trump
administrations, including the February 2020 agreement, was based on
fantasy and farce.
The Chairman Senator Menendez (D-NJ) said that we have to get to the
bottom of what happened, so that we won't make the same mistakes.
That statement was just another fantasy and farce. The Biden
administration is probably already planning its next catastrophe.
