    weird this wasn't a more prominent story at the time, maybe because Trump was still dropping a record number of bombs on Afghanistan in 2019.

    weird also how few Democrats and self-dubbed centrists mention it now.

    the bipartisan bloodlust was a thing to behold, the degree to which mainstream Dems backed Bush on natsec from 9/11/2001 to 2003 would be hard to overstate or replicate now.

    American media can't quit the forever war

    Respecting the troops means keeping them in Afghanistan forever, it seems

    big outlets have almost exclusively turned to critics of the Afghanistan withdrawal in their coverage,

    and in virtually every case people who supported the invasion and occupation.

    TV bookers were straight-up refusing to have anyone on who supports the decision to withdraw.

    many people now being given a platform to hector Biden about his supposed failures were not only directly involved in the catastrophically bungled occupation

    but were revealed in
    The Washington Post's "Afghanistan Papers" to have blatantly lied to the public about how well it was going.

    the mainstream media had almost totally ignored Afghanistan for the last decade.

    the dozens of Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reports showing the occupation was a cataclysmic disaster through and through.

    The main evening news programs on broadcast TV spent a grand total of five minutes combined on the country in 2020,

    "the three networks devoted a total of only 362 minutes to Afghanistan in the preceding five years, or just two hours of coverage per network, or an average of only 24 minutes per network per year."

    a large fraction of purportedly "neutral" reporters have decided to brand themselves as hysterically pro-Troop — a tendency that got much stronger after 9/11.

    Mainstream outlets were extremely uncomfortable with the fact that, during the Trump presidency, simply reporting the news meant criticizing Republicans virtually nonstop.

    Therefore, anytime a Democrat does something that seems even mildly objectionable, they perform shrieking outrage so as to demonstrate their nonpartisan bona fides.

    there is the fact that wars are extremely profitable for a small group of elites with deep connections to the press.

    These contractors have hired dozens of former military officers who then go on television without disclosing that they have a direct financial interest in the conflicts they invariably advocate prolonging.

    Troop worship means that corrupt former generals get to ignore fundamental journalistic ethics.

    ignore the media conniption fit from people with vested interests at stake or who seem to have blacked in five minutes ago. It turns out that one reason to think twice before starting a war is they often don't end well.

    "It took three months, thousands of airstrikes, hundreds of special ops raids and thousands of civilian casualties

    for the US to drive the Taliban from power in the fall of 2001.

    Twenty years later, the Taliban retook control in less than two weeks with, so far at least, a minimum of bloodshed."

    ...while Biden was out at Camp David watching TCM.

    +++ Though I imagine there was quite a lot of blood shed when those two Afghani's fell from that United States plane.
    But I guess we ain't countin' coup on them. tee, hee.

    Nope, not on your sweet bippy we won't. This has all been controlled since it commenced. We get to the see the same 20 video scraps on a in' loop. If I see that one Taliban fellow taking off after a regular Afghani with a switch I'm gonna do the Dutch.

    Or, how bout that one where the Afghani is hopping over the drainage ditch. Big in' deal, but, it's filler to hide the real .

    Though we ain't seen that one video again of Clarissa Ward being ordered to cover her face by the Taliban. Usually, well not usually, but for the last 20 years she's been running around in there without a face covering twitching that narrow ass back & forth. She put that face covering back on and got a free pass thru to the airport a couple hours later. Time-was-up.

    LOL!!!
