Retired Lt. Col. Jason Amerine was in charge of U.S. special forces protecting future Afghan president Hamid Karzai when his troops were hit by friendly fire on December 5, 2001.

(54,770 posts)on NPR I heard him say that he didn't think torture yielded anything and that reneging on the Iran Nuclear Deal would be wrong. That's a good sign, I think.
Mad Dog sounds like some white wing militia member who goes out and shoots women crossing the border for fun.
Guess we'll have to see what comes out during hearings.

I believe these comments about as far as I could comfortably spit out a rat!
Meanwhile, I'm stocking up on popcorn and hot-pepper sauce (my favorite topping for popcorn) for the confirmation hearing, where Sen. Warren and others will grill him like a rack of spare ribs.
Join me, won't you?
