On the subject of which, see the Tweeted video of the brother of Afghanistan's president (the guy who fled with 169 mil in American tax dollars) joining the Taliban.Įnjoy it while you can: the big beards are not going to audition for Comedy Central indefinitely. Other than that, the Sharia crowd confine any direct engagement with the Great Loser Satan to social media trolling, such as recreating (in American uniforms left at Bagram or elsewhere) Iwo Jima with the Taliban flag (top right).įunnier than Colbert and Fallon and the other court eunuchs, but who isn't? And once again you get the feeling that these guys know us rather better than all the Ivy League tosspots of the world's most ludicrous "elite" know them.
Aside from that, the mullahs are waggish enough to tease western media with hints of a "broad-based government", although we all know that in the end the broad-based government won't be based on broads. The Taliban know an American humiliation when they see one, and for the moment they're content to let Austin and Milley and the rest of Washington's worthless elite dig deeper. Can Milley do anything in nineteen hours other than call his tailor and order up his next row of ribbonry? Compare the 2,500 Americans evacuated from Kabul over this last week to the 7,000 Americans and allies choppered out of Saigon in just nineteen hours.
It is not just that General Milley and the Joint Buffoons of Staff cannot plan they cannot execute. The inability of Lloyd Austin, Thoroughly Modern Milley, Tailspin Taylor and the other beribboned buffoons of the Potemtagon to adapt swiftly and effectively to ground conditions that are changing hour by hour is as telling as anything. The soi-disant "superpower" now resembles one of those stories you see from time to time on Eyewitness News: the 700-lb bedridden guy unable to get up, even to go to hospital, and requiring the fire department to slice off the upper wall of the house just to winch him out of there. That seems an under-performance - or, as The New York Post's front-page headline distills it, "DUMKIRK". Today's was first published on Sunday August 22nd 2021, and expands the view to the big picture re China:Ī week after the Fall of Kabul, the flailing hegemon continues to embarrass itself:Īmerica's official deadline for total withdrawal from Afghanistan is August 31st, so half the remaining time has already elapsed, and in that first week of a final fortnight, according to the Department of Defense, it evacuated just 2,500 Americans - or about 350 per day. For a week we've been re-running, in real time, the columns I wrote twelve months ago. ~Speaking of total fiascos, it is one year since the Fall of Kabul. I wouldn't normally bother with this sort of gloatfest, but Piers was the guy who came on air promising to bury GB News. Apparently, Sky News Australia took advantage of last week's guest host to quietly drop the laughably misnamed Uncensored. Notwithstanding his recent divorce (from Jerry, not Piers, but at those prices one of them had to go), Rupert is still flying Morgan around on private jet, which must make Uncensored the highest cost in jet fuel per viewer in the history of television. Piers Morgan Uncensored had another rotten week to the point where, by the end of Thursday's Steyn Show, the "niche Canadian" had ten times the audience of Mr Murdoch's $100-million "star". Last week was a very good week ratings-wise.
(You may find the replay more convenient: 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific.) We air at 8pm British Summer Time, which is 3pm North American Eastern for any US and Canadian viewers minded to tune in. A brand new week of The Mark Steyn Show begins tonight on GB News.
