Antony Blinken's answer to Pulp Fiction 'cleaner': Winston Wolfe failed to answer questions 100 TIMES when quizzed about disastrous Afghanistan exit, damning transcripts reveal
2024-04-12
It was perhaps the most consequential of President Joe Biden administration's foreign policy decisions: How to bring home American troops from Afghanistan while keeping diplomats, American citizens and Afghan allies safe.

Yet when one of the State Department's key officials was quizzed by congressional investigators on how the effort descended into chaos he could not remember the details.

Hours of closed-door testimony obtained by DailyMail.com reveal how Derek Chollet, the secretary of state's top troubleshooter who compared himself with Winston 'the Wolf' Wolfe in 'Pulp Fiction', answered 100 times that he did not remember, could not recall or did not know details that might illuminate what went wrong.

#3  A cynical person would argue that Blinken's job is to be unaccountable and that he is doing it very well.

I can't find the interview where Blinken compared himself to the Winston Wolfe character in Pulp Fiction, although the meme seems to be everywhere at the moment. Given that the character's role in the movie is covering up a bloody crime, it does seem appropriate.

#1  If he 'cannot remember' 100 times, by the very words he has uttered, he has demonstrated he is incompetent. Fire him.
