We finally contacted our Washington correspondent. She was missing for awhile because she was searching for a billionaire that would lend her an estate for a weekend party. At any rate, she reports that her fly-on-the-wall source has reported that a recent conversation took place among some unnamed advisors to the current administration. Evidently someone in the room had some questions about the Afghanistan pull-out.Here a just a few of the questions and the purported overheard answers:
Question: I undestand that more than 600,00 small arms were left behind. Why is that?
Answer: If we brought them back home, they may have fallen into the hands of dangerous people.
Question: Well, how about the reported 2,000 armored vehicles?
Answer: There, again, we did not want to bring them home. They may have been assigned for use by police agencies or something like that.
Question: Ok, but what about all the U.S. Currency that was left there?
Answer: It just did not make sense to go through all the shipping problems when we can simply print more here at home and provide worthwhile jobs in a govenment printing facility.
We must point out that the quotes are mostly exact and that the questions were disallowed after just a few because, as one of the participants reportedly said, "You are really not entitled to this information."
