NYT: ‘Was the intelligence tweaked by people seeking to hinder efforts to withdraw American troops?’

by | Jul 10, 2020

Can you believe these idiots? After two weeks of propaganda from their paper:

“Other questions abound: When did the reported payments begin? Were they payback for American support of Afghan militants against Soviet troops there in the 1980s, or something else? Were the payments a factor in the deaths of any American or other coalition troops? Was the intelligence tweaked by people seeking to hinder efforts to withdraw American troops?

Uh, yeah, good questions. Maybe you can assign Charlie Savage to investigate whether there is any truth to his story at all or whether it was leaked to him so that he could be used to “hinder efforts to withdraw American troops.”

What a disgrace.
