three options were on the table. stay and increased troop levels, pull out or replace u.s. troops with private contractors. private contractors, an idea advocated by steve bannon, wouldn t fly with military leaders. pulling out, according to newt gingrich, isn t an option either. the last time we allowed afghanistan to be an empty space, it was filled with the taliban and al qaeda and the planning for 9/11 was done in afghanistan. we know if we pull out in the government collapses, you re going to have some combination of isis, al qaeda, and the taliban and running the country again. the president s announcement will be welcomed by the military which has advocated a larger troop presence. the president may be on less friendly territory tomorrow when he travels to phoenix. phoenix s mayor has said he would prefer president trump stay home. the president s meandering response to charlottesville and his pronouncement that he s
appreciate that. i m not saying who. and they do go to the gym in the morning, i here. absolutely. chaffetz says this is going to cost taxpayers less because then he wouldn t fly to utah as often. does he have a point, peter? if the government s priorities were not so out of whack in so many other ways, if we didn t have a congress that was trying to hurt the weakest of americans in order to create, you know, huge tax breaks for the very rich, then i think you could have a conversation about this. i think it s the chaffetz point about wanting to make congress not be composed of millionaires is an important point. in this context, when this administration is doing things that would hurt ordinary
