It’s been a while since we skipped merrily into a war and became bogged down in death and war crimes. I guess that every generation must destroy its political capital on an unnecessary botched war now.

It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States.
The press exists to play a watchdog role, not be a supplicant.

Although he was from Khost, the DC shooter was a veteran of the CIA’s Kandahar CTPT surrogate unit, known in the early years as the QSF or KSF and later as NSU-03.
