Two weeks ago, citing anonymous reports from unnamed intelligence officials, "The New York Times" claimed that Russian agents had offered bounties to Afghan militants to kill U.S. soldiers -- what they do anyway.
If that sounds familiar, it is because it is. It's the same strategy "The New York Times" used to lie us into the Iraq war 17 years ago.
And like in 2003, Congress is mindlessly going along. Both Republicans and Democrats, fools, all of them, on the House Armed Services Committee have packed a new amendment into the Defense Authorization Bill to make it far harder for the president to bring American troops home permanently from Afghanistan.
