    As the ship sinks, the rats will try any way to escape…..if these people had been working for the future of Afghanistan, and not been traitors, they wouldn’t be fleeing……..absolutely no sympathy

    Meanwhile partying away at the biggest taxpayer funded 60th bday celebrations in Marthas Vinyard, the notorious BIG O had 300 of his sophisticated homies party for 5 days straight. Michelle had 5 costume changes and the notorious BIG O wore his cool hawaien shirt. All in all things turned out very well for THE PROJECT FOR A NEW AMERICA, typo, NEW AFGHANIPLANY . All sophisticated homies walked away with awesome profits. Albright, Wolfawitz, Krystal, Kagan, Wasserstrin, Schummer, Fiensteen (she is exceptionally sophisticated), Katz, Summers (probably a ) Cohen (there somewhere !) Bolton, Clinton, Rubin, Chertoff, Kerry (the climate szar flew in his own private jetplane to the notorious BIG Os party). No wonder they had a reason to partay. Josef Biden was busy invading Syria and was a no show but Blinken sent his love.
