This is one of the best news analysis, most thoughtful articles I have read (or heard)…from a conservative Republican

Are you THE Jim Mason?

Probably not THE Jim Matson…but we did eat White Castles together in St. Louis in 1978

Ahh, THE Jim Mason, indeed! How are you? Where are you living these days? I lost track in, I think, Canada???

Concerning Bagram airport, in my opinion, the whole thing could have been avoided.

Biden, out of a matter of pride, refused to go along with Trump's timetable, he was going to do it on his. The Taliban disagreed, they had a bargain, with the President of the United States.

In the runup to 1 May, they had avoided bothering almost all U.S. troops. Once that day was passed, and we still had troops there, the bargain had been broken, the resulting mess, is strictly on Biden.

It was after all, a rookie mistake.

RE: Cartelogue. Yet Another take down of the “stumbling”, “incomprehensible” (your adjectives) Biden in a half baked analysis jumping from one subject to another without much context. Who else ya got to take on the grifter from Mar-A-Lago?

Not good enough...He needs to do something about the border. He's got to seem stronger to beat the sociopath.
