We will not talk about numbers of troops. That is new for the american presidency. At no point tonight did the president clarify anything about what would actually change militarily for the United States in afghanistan. If this speech is meant to be interpreted as an increase in Troop Strength in afghanistan, its the first time a president has announced an increase in Troop Strength without actually announcing an increase in Troop Strength. As commander in chief, i have determined that it is in our Vital National interest to send an additional 30,000 u. S. Troops to afghanistan. After 18 months, our troops will begin to come home. These are the resources that we need to seize the initiative while building the afghan capacity that can allow for a responsible transition of our forces out of afghanistan. And here is how president george w. Bush described the Military Surge that he ordered in iraq. So uch committed more than 20,000 additional american troops to iraq. The vast majority of t

Im ali val shi, as katy alluded to, President Trump will arrive in hawaii, the one stop before he kicks off his highstakes visit to asia. The longer overseas trip of any president since 1991, but the president is traveling with some hefty political baggage as the russia investigation looms. Mr. President , do you remember George Papadopolos during that march meeting i dont remember much about that meeting. It was a very unimportant meeting that took p
Chris Cuomo asks the tough questions to newsmakers in Washington and around the world. In the russia probe. S your head is nodding. Do you adopt the same position . Absolutely. The question here as mentioned was the nature of his communications with the Russian Hackers. This indictment against the 12 officers mentioned. This was more about passing statement. There could be more behind it that these Russian Hackers were in contact with the person reported to be roger stone in terms of soliciting feedback and that roger stone boasted he had contact with wikileaks alleged in this indictment coordinated with the russian hacker. This is a big problem for roger stone if he helped them in any way he could be a part of that. One thing i do want to note

Its highest single day since the start of the pandemic. He made trump happy, Governor Desantis did, and now more floridians than they can count accurately appear to be sick. More than half our states have growing cases now. 16 are currently having to pause or roll back reopenings because they did not do the right things the right ways. Texas, parts of california, bars have been directed to close back down. The secretary of health and Human Services says the window is closing for us to get this right. Even pence, who you saw silently by desantis side as he spewed nonsense seems to be his strongest asset as an ally. Even he is now saying you should wear a mask. Thats good since hes the head of the Coronavirus Task force. Its bad that he is only saying so now. But the really ugly reality is that pence still sat there and enjoyed this maskless choir of more than 100 singing on sunday. It doesnt matter if youre singing songs to the lord. There is no commandment that thou shalt do stupid thi
