Of course. Why did I bother to ask? Trump has corrupted the MSM part of our free press.
But, cable and broadcast news is not where most people get their news and their audiences are declining. So CBSтАЩ cave may not matter all that much. The growth of independent news, like the Bulwark, and their social-media-sharing-ready content getting widely shared is a good thing.
The 13 servicepeople killed by the ISIS-K suicide bomber is a tragedy.
However, by every other number the withdrawal was a great success, not botched or a debacle:
Americans, allies and Afghan refugees evacuated: over 122,000
American serviceperson lives lost to Taliban: 0
American civilian lives lost: 0
American civilians remaining in Afghanistan except by their choice: <50
Number of days by which final August 31 deadline for withdrawal missed: 0
Firefights with Taliban during evacuation: 0
American military deaths before withdrawal and evacuation: 2,402
American military deaths after withdrawal and evacuation to date: 0
