Biden pretended that he is being criticized for withdrawing from Afghanistan. This is a bad joke. I, for one, wrote years ago that we should wind up our involvement in that country. I did not suggest, however, that we should pull out precipitously, without evacuating civilians first, and suddenly deprive Afghan forces of air cover so that it would be difficult or impossible for them to fight effectively. Nor did I write that we should abandon our bases without even bothering to secure or at least destroy materiel that has now fallen into the hands of the Taliban. I did not advocate that we pull out our military personnel first and only worry about civilians later, nor did I suggest that we wait until the Taliban have encircled the Kabul airport before trying to get either Americans or friendly Afghans onto airplanes.
It would at least be one positive result of all this if even Democrats condemn him for it. And it’s adding up to be a disaster of such enormous proportions that even the Fake News media won’t be able to do enough “damage control” to contain the nuclear fallout.
I heard that a democrat in Congress, chairman of something, wants an investigation in to the matter. I would really enjoy an impeachment but then we’ll have Commie-la.
Commie-la?
Kamala the Anointed.
The only problem is, it will most likely be “investigated” by other corrupt hacks (FBI, DOJ, etc) who will just make up excuses for him.
I was optimistic in my notion that if the Taliban just waited, we would leave and “simply abandon” the people that depended upon us. I never dreamed that a withdrawal could be botched so badly by total incompetence and arrogance. For gawd’s sake, there is a method to withdrawals and no protocols were followed. Even a non-military person could have done better just by using his common sense.
