to represent the state of washington in congress. he joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so no one is being punished for this once again. what does that tell you? >> it tells us pretty much everything we need to know. i think from the onset here, it's evident that the dod, the military had no plan to withdraw, and they have really been throwing a tantrum ever since. that's evident in the way that the withdrawala went great and that we had this narrative that the taliban is one of two things. they can be our new counterterrorism partner with that will become to transfer more wealth, or that the taliban cannot be trusted as the strike is proven and now we need to go back in. this over the horizon capability that joe biden talks about and i think there is some validity to, it's not a boon for the military industrial complex. when they were looking at the strike criteria for this strike it was win-win for them. if it went well, it proved that the taliban could be partners, if it went bad, then oh well we have to go back and. sthey're is no accountability ad there is no actual onus on them
