Dear Mitch: The American occupation of Afghanistan was *never* about terrorism

Turns out the Mitchster has the same relationship with the truth that most folks have with Covid.

And, unlike most of his base, he's been vaccinated (though they don't need a vaccine to be anti-truth).

McConnell: ‘Why we went’ to Afghanistan has been lost

Amid the ongoing efforts to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, "why we went there in the first place" has been lost, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday morning.

"We went there to prevent the Taliban from having a regime that would allow terrorists to reconstitute themselves and hit us here at home. It's been a total success," McConnell told host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

Nope, whether the sacrifice of the American military, and American treasury, in Afghanistan was about oil, or contracts to the defense industrial complex, or even the most basic emotion of fear, the occupation of Afghanistan was always about one thing, 

Money.
