8/ For centuries, the Afghans have resisted conquest and control. The power and strength of the instinct to fight America and the West was always going to be stronger than the willingness to work with us. Resistance is in the soul of Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
7/ More importantly, there was likely NEVER going to be a plan - even if it was informed by a better cultural understanding - that could impose a foreign power's will on Afghanistan. Sometimes, there is no American plan that will work. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
6/ But if you don't know how to properly spend money, who to partner with, how to build sustainable governments, etc, than there's no amount of money that will fix a fundamentally flawed strategy. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
5/ The "can do" spirit of our military is its greatest strength and liability. In Afghanistan, the military's failed to understand that a paper thin understanding of Afghan culture and society was destined to lead to planning failure. But, admirably, they couldn't accept failure. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
4/ Every time I visited Afghanistan, a new smart general would explain to me why the previous general screwed up and how his new plan (derived from maybe 30 days of on-the-ground learning) would get things on the right track. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
3/ From the start, we didn't understand Afghanistan, a country wildly different from and more complicated than Iraq. And our structure of rotating generals and soldiers in and out 12 months at a time meant that we were destined to never learn Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
2/ Patraeus says the problem was a) we refused to stay longer; b) we spent too little $ and on the wrong stuff; and c) we didn't understand Afghanistan. What he fails to realize is that (a) and (b) don't matter if (c) is true. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
I greatly respect General Patraeus, but there is real danger is allowing the magical thinking of "if we had spent more money or stayed longer everything would have been fine" to persist. 1/ A few thoughts on why "more" wouldn't have fixed Afghanistan. https://t.co/oEipKiAn71 — PolitiTweet.org

Turns out that high gas prices - not exactly controllable by the White House - has a lot to do with inflation. When gas prices come down, so does inflation. Not super complicated. — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction Act includes billions to help states like Connecticut protect our shorelines from storms and sea level rise. This is a big deal for us because it means Connecticut taxpayers won't be left footing the whole bill. https://t.co/pqZBhrnzPB — PolitiTweet.org

During his remarks last night at our event in Philadelphia, @JohnFetterman looked at me and said to the large crowd, "Murphy looks like a Senator. I don't look like a Senator." I'm going to choose to take that as a backhanded compliment. https://t.co/YcNqbp8vjb — PolitiTweet.org

It's likely no other regime has more political prisoners than Egypt. And they are held in inhuman conditions. Our decision to prioritize arms sales to Egypt over human rights is doing to damage to America's credibility and power around the world. https://t.co/59QDZ5nSEP — PolitiTweet.org

There is a consequence when Republicans think education policy is picking on teachers and putting guns in schools. https://t.co/z9ECR69Gso — PolitiTweet.org

It’s like overnight all the Republicans who talked for six years nonstop about the the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton just magically erased it from their memory so they could create this new fictional world in which only Republicans get investigated by the FBI. — PolitiTweet.org

Big crowd in Philadelphia for @JohnFetterman tonight. Great to be with him and Gisele and so many of his fantastic supporters. As usual, Pennsylvania is the center of the political universe! https://t.co/wzCyLb7bdQ — PolitiTweet.org

In Philadelphia today to campaign for the next Senator from Pennsylvania, @JohnFetterman. Before meeting up with John, I got together with anti gun violence advocates from the city to talk about the new Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. https://t.co/nTWJnDQNB6 — PolitiTweet.org

This is the most dangerous argument. Because the whole point is that we are all accountable to the laws. The most powerful and the least. — PolitiTweet.org
