On October 23, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson “made a secret
two-hour visit” and the Washington Post noted he “flew from Doha to
Bagram [the massive US base]” while “a
total news blackout was imposed until after they left the country and
returned to Qatar.” It is a sad commentary on the state of affairs in
Afghanistan that after sixteen years of US military operations and
expenditure of over 800 billion dollars it is unsafe for the Secretary
of State to visit the place unless his travel is kept entirely secret
from the world — including the president of the country he is visiting!
Winning?
Military clock cropped out of photo on right to make it look like Kabul instead of US military base.
