At the mercy of monsters

"This is a national nightmare in which we can not awaken. It is bad, real bad. Is there not one person who can stand in the gap in this administration?" 

I heard many terms try and describe where we are at in Afghanistan right now. Inflection point. Killing field. Hopelessness. I guess at the end of the day, the best way to describe this self inflicted predicament we are in, is simply this - we are at the mercy of monsters. Cold blooded killers, who seem to delight in the killing of others, in the most gruesome and cruel manner. This group of monsters who like to think of themselves as an army, instead of a gang of thugs. This is the group who the United States is relying on, for the safety and safe transit of our people.

This morning on the news, a audio tape was played. It was an American woman who was trapped behind enemy lines in Kabul. There was panic and desperation in her voice. Her country, who formerly had the reputation of leaving no citizen behind, leaving no citizen in harm's way or danger, was about to toss her under the bus. Why? Our President, who knows not what he is doing, has put us into a box canyon. No way out. Unless of course, we can extract an ounce of mercy from a group of monsters who are devoid of mercy. 

Wait a minute! Are you trying to tell me, the number one super power in the world, with the most state of the art weaponry, with 7,500 highly trained troops on the ground, is begging these thugs for mercy? What is wrong with this picture!!!

Last night President Trump put the blame not only on Slo Joe for getting us in this pickle, but also our "woke" generals. "We don't need woke generals right now", Trump said, "We need a Patton". Amen, amen and amen to that President Trump. If we can't reanimate George Patton, can we at least please have Jack Keane back in uniform? For the love of Pete, this is looking more and more like Tehran and Saigon put together, and then put into a dumpster fire.

This morning's bright idea by the gang who cannot shoot straight, is we will conduct air strikes on all the expensive equipment the Taliban has stolen from the Afghan Army. This is the best you have got? How about, we will send out troops into town and take it back. The bad guys can give it up peacefully, or we can help them meet their 72 virgins in the afterlife. Again, and somebody please tell Biden this fact - we are the number one super power in the world. We are not a bunch of scared rabbits, so please let us stop acting as such.

Soon the beheadings will start. That seems to be their blood sport of choice. Do we really want to see this on the news? Our citizens and friendlies, being dismembered, disemboweled and tortured in the streets of Kabul? 

This is a national nightmare in which we can not awaken. It is bad, real bad. Is there not one person who can stand in the gap in this administration? Sure is not the Veep, as she is on a joy ride to the WestPac to get away from all of this. All we can do is shake our heads and keep praying. We are at the mercy of monsters in the streets of Kabul.
