What a great idea! What could possibly go wrong?

I particularly enjoyed this line from the full article on Politico linked below:

"the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport."

Perhaps this is an example of outsourcing?


Details matter and I will never be in a direct way to influence the outcome, but the state department said the Politico and earlier Fox News [story was misleading and got details wrong] (the stuff in bracket is my own words and not a quote)
