Of course they will skate. Even if they "lose" they will win because they control the narrative.

By way of recent example, look at how the history of the Iraq debacle has now been re-written and how Bush, Jr., Dick Cheney, and other prominent neocons are being fêted by the Left and MSM. The same thing happened with Nixon and the revisionist history of the Vietnam War that began in the 80s under Reagan. The Afghanistan disaster similarly will be recast as a nation-building success when the Taliban co-sign contracts with western companies for exploitation of mineral resources.

Yes.

Whenever I've engaged in (mostly futile) efforts to wake up friends, I generally end up saying:

"Repeat this n times:

'Iraq is refining uranium, Saddam has WMD',

'Iraq is refining uranium, Saddam has WMD',

'Iraq is refining uranium, Saddam has WMD'...

Now you have Dick 'n' Don's Excellent Adventure, featuring lucrative weapons testing on live targets, job security for Das Homeland's 'terror' industry, and many years of paid speaking tours".

Rinse, lather, repeat.

Well. Sigh. Thanks for the reminder EJS ; /

Heard on radio last night that China moving into our base in Afghanistan. Glad we could be of service. Hope they can round up our ppl there and send them home.
