Taliban, Trump, And The Clandestine Camp David Meeting

- The idiocy of Donald Trump leads to the firing of John Bolton.

On this, the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, it’s important to discuss the secret Camp David meeting Donald Trump planned (then scrapped at the 11th hour) involving the US and the Taliban terrorist organization.

Politics
As the world knows, when Donald Trump sets his mind to something — no matter how bad or potentially disastrous it may be — he’s as stubborn as a mule to listen to any suggestion of logic or common sense.  This was the case when ‘The Donald’ woke up one morning and single-handedly decided that he should invite the Taliban terrorist organization to the United States so that he could sit in a room with them and miraculously do what no other living human has ever been able to do:  talk them into ending their decade-long acts of terrorism.

Taliban Meeting

Yes, Trump actually believes he is a master strategist and a veritable svengali among men.  However, despite their usual “yes-man” tendencies, even his own national security team — including National Security Adviser John Bolton and VP Mike Pence — could not convince Trump that welcoming a world terrorist organization into the US was the equivalent of stepping on a landmine.  Too bad for Bolton, his refusal to go along with Trump led to a heated argument on Monday that got him fired on Tuesday.

Imagine, if you will, Trump placing both fingers in his ears while yelling “Blah, blah, blah” to himself as career foreign policy strategists attempted (but failed) to talk him out of a Taliban champagne toast at Camp David.  Well, that’s just about what happened.

And then, fate stepped in.

Last week, a car bomb planted by the Taliban killed 11 people, including a US soldier. That event was followed by a heated debate within the administration over the wisdom of negotiating with the Taliban at all.  It was then and only then that the “I Can Never Admit I Was Wrong” Trump was forced to cancel his ill-conceived Taliban treaty.

“Discussions with the Taliban are dead, as far as I’m concerned,” the foreign policy novice and strategy-simpleton Trump begrudgingly admitted to reporters on Monday.

“I always think it is good to meet and talk, but in this case, I decided not to,” he later tweeted.

Taliban Meeting

Once again, the amateur in the Oval Office convinced himself that his mere presence is so magical, he could buck decades of foreign policy decorum and expertise and sit down with a known enemy without any preconditions or list of achievable goals.  No!  Donald Trump is all-knowing and omnipotent.  At least that’s what his cult-like followers have been telling him.  At least that’s what he really believes.

The serial lying, imbecile-in-chief: “I fired him.”

The warmongering imbecile NeoCon: “No. I resigned.”

The office of the U.S. president is become a veritable clown-show for ALL the world to see (a combination sh*tshow and hot mess). And it never stops….not even for a minute…smh!

Lordy I am SO embarrassed.

Whatever finally pushed Bolton out the door, however, is far less relevant than where Trump goes from here. He will announce a new national security adviser next week, and the Washington parlor game is already swirling with names. […]- Daniel R. Depetris, TAC writer, Sept. 11, 2019

It’s being reported that the so-called “Front-runners” for the NSA job are quickly taking their names OFF the list. At this point, anyone who would take this job..or any other job in this administration…is someone with no reputation to lose. A person so pliable and so far down the list it doesn’t matter.

I have never been a fan of Bolton. But if this is what him and Trump fell out over I side with Bolton. What a stupid idea.

LA Times: WASHINGTON — President Trump sought Wednesday to justify his now-scuttled summit with the Taliban while threatening the Afghan militants and other enemies with “power the likes of which the United States has never used before.” The comments, at a Pentagon ceremony commemorating the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, underscored the president’s seemingly conflicting inclinations on foreign policy and his tendency to cloak his isolationist, deal-making leanings in bellicose threats. Coming a day after the departure of national security advisor John Bolton, who often pushed back on the president’s ad hoc diplomacy, the president thus made clear he’s prepared to push forward on his initiatives in Afghanistan and other global hotspots. “Trump has made clear that he’s his own principal advisor,” said David Rothkopf, who wrote a book about the National Security Council. “Right now I wouldn’t say there’s much of a national security process. And that’s dangerous… Read more »
