67, 68, a news reporter, what do you need to maintain this outpost? and he said, i need 30 of their guys. i don t need 100 of ours, i don t need 1,000 of ours. all i need is 30 of those guys and i ll take over the entire country. here we are in 2021, same story. here we are. the taliban, a bunch of guys in jeeps rolling around the country side. they were motivated. they believed in what they were fighting for, they were motivated and willing to fight to the death for what they believed in, and the other side wasn t. and the afghan army simply wasn t. i urge everybody to read craig whitlock s work. because it is incredible and illuminating. and it shows that the u.s.
i think that s a small assumption and it s worth noting that so much can end up changing as far as a balance. and that might end up putting the senate more in play for democrats right now. there are fewer people who end up voting in midterm elections. so the site that s actually more fired up, more enthusiastic often ends up winning. in past midterm cycles in 2006, the shellacking that republicans took, in 2010, and 2014, the shellacking that democrats ended up taking was because one side was really fired up and the other side wasn t. what we re seeing in polls is that dems are more enthusiastic. so this might be a mid term that might be a little bit different than we saw in 2010, 2006 and 2014. he you ve been going to the rallies talking to people. i think you were in iowa. michigan. close.
almost acting like a spokesman for king salman, talking about rogue killers. that s a line that the saudi media has been propagating to try to muddy the waters here. it s quite clear from the turkish side that the 15 men who got off those two saudi registered jets were connected with the saudi security establishment, one of them was a forensic expert. they weren t tourists and as far as we know they weren t rogue elements. as one u.s. official said, anything that happens would have happened in that consulate would have had the direct knowledge of either the king or more importantly that mohammad bin salman is the man who really runs saudi arabia. so the idea that they were just rogues who came in on a plane, i don t know. i think maybe the theme of this, there is still after 13 days very, very little that we know for sure.
