Hurricane Ida...Here we go again...

Yeah! Here we go again.

Blogging gonna be lighter than it usually is (lately) cause I gotta get my "house" go bag, "work" go bag and other shit checked/re-checked.

Preps are done but just dotting i's and crossing t's is the thing. Storm sped up on me so it's a minor change in plans.  Getting in to work will be easy.  The 4in lift and the light bar/can lights I put on the bronco will see me thru.  Its just what comes after.

Ya know it really ain't the hurricane per se thats the issue.  Its what comes with it.  Rain and winds.  Rain causes flooding and only so much water can run off so fast and the wind causes all the beautiful shade producing trees to become sledge hammers against powerlines, houses and cars.

Still no worries.  Back to normal soon.

Yeah...Greenwald explains why I haven't covered those drone strikes....I don't buy it for one minute...

I've made an effort to steer away from politics but I have major concerns regarding our Commander In Chief...

 

I monitor foreign language twitter and picked up on this. My feed showed me the meeting but left this part out that they're covering big time.

Biden fell asleep.

If he doesn't have endurance for a photo op then how does he have the endurance for leadership?

I don't agree with some of his policies, but that isn't the point.  This is about his PHYSICAL fitness to serve.

The Taliban is pulling security for us! Fucking amazing! Drink this in...we're asking the enemy to ensure our security!!!!

The Brits are gone....last flights are departing Karzai Airport...

 

I'm all about open source/transparency...but WHY are we announcing to the world that we're starting to pull our forces out????

 

Wow.

We announced that we've begun pulling our troops out.

What is the reaction?  They're chasing us.  Maintaining contact. Preparing attacks.

An attack likely?

Yeah.  I believe that.  I also believe this thing can still go seriously sideways in a heartbeat.

Side note.  Oh and for those of you that say that the enemy can see us withdrawing?  You're wrong.  If done correctly you can delay enemy recognition of the event.  It's not easy to do but it can be done.  Proper planning is needed but it CAN be done.  The pullout of our troops should announced as a done deal, not in the middle of the event.

Is he right? Or is this something that will soon be in the dustbin of history?
