That moment when you realise you've mistaken the images on the screen of awareness to be reality.

"Time not important. Only life, important."
- The Fifth Element


So twue, and expressed in a pithy 6 words.

Someone should implant this truth into Biden's brain.

His arbitrary deadline for Afghanistan withdrawal puts the emphasis on time, for political purposes, and not on Life.

Such often happens with the rudderless.


Joe, you senile dummy, only Life is Important.

"I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it."
- Mae West

Comment:
Censorship improved West’s transmission, although some folks censored her mechanic purely for the irony, a guy with the strange name of Censorship. He said it was a family name and he couldn't give it up.

That Biden did not begin a never-ending bad dream, that Joe Biden and the Pentagon did not birth a new terrorist haven, destroy much of U.S. strategic deterrence, and alienate our allies and much of the country.

The war in Afghanistan was inefficiently conducted. I read allegations of profiteering activities by private contractors who were engaged by the politicians in charge.

That brings to mind the famous quote from Casablanca.

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! (Spoken as he pockets his winnings.)

Captain Renault did not try to whitewash what he was engaged in and did he not turn out to be one of the good men at the end of the story?

Biden and the media are counting on time, propaganda, and censorship by omission to white-wash Biden’s abandonment of so many to the barbarians. Not much mention of people falling from the outside of jets they were clinging to in desperate attempts to escape the coming horror made inevitable by Biden’s incompentence. The brick-haired President’s mouth piece and the compliant, complicit and one might even say conspiring media tried to talk about The greatest airlift in history, greater than the Berlin airlift! The airlift is but their first attempt of a white-wash that the dutiful choir can’t help but sing about off-key, but the well of deception is deep with lies and partial truths, and always acting in crisis mode helps to create a convenient cover for truth, as does focusing on the vision of the ostensible narrative rather than the known and predictable effects of the situation that Biden created. By the time those convenient truth cloaking-devices get unraveled with facts and time-lines, even if that takes only two days instead of four or five, a fresh cover of lies has been woven and pushed hard through the media cycles. But, abandoning people to torture and death, when abandonment is the situation created by Biden, may not be a forgivable offense, although rigged elections do make any moral deliberations that might change the landscape rather moot academic exercises, seeing as how The Party is not likely to censure its own candidate, and The Party controls via a super-thin majority the congressional oversight of their very own selection for the presidency, the infamously incompetent and danger to humanity, Joe Biden.

All Afghanistan occupations,including that of the Soviets, plus the British occupation of India under the Raj , were responsible for many deaths so you need to put your death numbers into the bigger picture of big powers interfering in traditional societies of which Afghanistan is remarkably tribal. The Dunkirk type situation in Kabul did not have to happen.

One wonders how it so happened that the forces of occupation were apparently unaware of the potential of the Taliban to advance through outlying villages to conquer the cities. Were the well -trained well- educated professional British and US soldiers unaware of the lack of motivation among their Afghanistan allies? Surely not!

If the Western allies had been prepared many years ago for a timely evacuation of foreign nationals and refugees there would have been not much panicking with consequent deaths. Somebody failed to take due care, and the panic at Hamid Karzai Airport was a result plus of course the many people who will suffer under the Taliban and worse, Al-Qaeda.
