'Dancing Hands' Pelosi thinks losing billions of dollars in military equipment is normal

"Five more minutes, boys."

House Majority Spinner Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (D-CA) was blasted for spinning a yarn about the military equipment [billions of dollars of weapons and equipment] that was left behind and captured by the Taliban. Pelosi, who prides herself on being a military expert and strategist, not to mention an ice cream kinda sewer, argued that screwups like this are "what happens" when troops leave a country.

It's breathtaking to see how she is, or thinks the public is stupid enough to believe such nonsense.

"This is what happens when you withdraw," Pelosi said in an interview with KPIX 5 News Tuesday. "Some stuff is left there. It was thought that would be used. It was hoped that would be used by the Afghan military to defend its own country."

"Some stuff" consists of:

The estimated vehicle costs [H/T Forbes]:

M113A2 [armored personnel carrier] cost about $170,000 each and the M577A2 recently purchased at a mere $333,333 each.

Mine resistant vehicles range from $412,000 to $767,000 with a total cost/loss at $382 million to $711 million.

Recovery vehicles, e.g., 'truck wrecker' cost $168,960 to $880,674

Medium range tactical vehicles such as 5-ton cargo and general transport trucks cost $67,139 while the MTV heavy vehicles go for $235,500 to $724,820. Those used to transport airplanes cost $800,865.

Ambulance-type Humvees range from $37,943 to $142,918, with most costing $96,466. But the 12,000 lb. troop transport version costs as much as $329,000.

Light attack vehicles: fast attack combat vehicles go for $69,400 and passenger vehicles $65,500. $-wheel drive all-terrain vehicles cost up to $42,273.

Just look at the number of aircraft that fell into the hands of the Taliban [above] as part of a "normal" departure from a war zone as Pelosi claims. There are more Blackhawk helicopters captured by them than what Australia has in its arsenal. Those babies go for up to $21 million each. while the A-29 can be yours for the mere price of $21.3 million each.

And the list goes on.

Now check out the grunt weapons: 

As you can see, the total cost of our loss here was $599,690 for the cheap stuff.

Tell me, Nancy, what soldier or Marine is going to leave his rifle behind? You obviously don't know your butt from a rifle butt.

"The fact that it did not and could not" [be used by the Afghan military] Pelosi added, "was all more the reason for us to leave."

Pelosi had to try verbal calisthenics to try pretending her bull crap is chocolate ice cream. The American public, at least many of us, don't buy it.

Pelosi defended Biden's decision to remove U.S. troops, with a backwards argument that it reduces the prospect of an attack on the homeland. Her logic is exactly the opposite of the truth and is known as progressive logic.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden maintains his perfect score on foreign policy decisions, never once making the right call. He needs to be set out to pasture with his cream of wheat and Lawrence Welk reruns.
