Tucker Carlson: Official Washington wanted US to stay in Afghanistan, so they lied to ensure we would

We're clearly moving toward a larger conflict with Russia, but why?

Vladimir Putin was murdering American soldiers. Obviously, there was no leaving Afghanistan now. Anyone who suggested leaving Afghanistan would be bowing to Vladimir Putin. As a matter of principle, American troops had to stay in Afghanistan, and they did. They’re still there today. Official Washington went berserk over the New York Times story. Though the piece contained no actual facts, CNN's senior intelligence correspondent declared it "richly reported." And the rest of the media fervently agreed with it.
