Get your goddamn tenses right.
Tulsi makes talking points from the "surprise" revelations about Afghanistan. She wants Congress to do something.
Shit. You've BEEN in Congress. These facts are not new or secret. With your military experience, you KNEW these facts directly and completely. Why didn't you try to do something about it earlier?
I'm ferociously tired of fake surprise and misplaced tenses. Everyone is shocked by "learning" what they ALREADY KNEW, or "learning" what they ALREADY DID.
If you're in a position of power and knowledge, you are OBLIGATED to tell us everything you know as soon as you know it. You are OBLIGATED to do the right thing as soon as you determine the right thing.
Your attempt may not succeed, but that's life. Success is never guaranteed. Failure is guaranteed when nobody even TRIES to do the right thing.
You are NOT ENTITLED to come out later and urge OTHERS to do the right thing.
