Under President Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo’s State Department had ordered the creation of a “Contingency and Crisis Response” office whose job would be avoiding “a future Benghazi-style situation for Americans overseas".
hile Biden lied to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday that “We planned for every contingency,” behind the scenes Biden’s State Department had already “revoked the funding and the approval” for Trump’s response team.
Biden didn’t plan for every contingency. He killed our ability to respond to the most likely contingency.
By closing Bagram Air Base first, Biden shut down America’s last and best military base and logistical center in Afghanistan, removing any ability to respond quickly and effectively. Closing Bagram first also sent a message to the Afghan national government and the army we spent 20 years building up: America is bugging out and you’re on your own.
Is it any wonder the Afghans folded so quickly to the Taliban?
Closing Bagram also gave the Taliban thousands and thousands of potential Western hostages. Ditching Trump’s plan for a Contingency and Crisis Response team meant that we didn’t even have the assets in place to get new assets in place.
But poor Slow Joe can’t get enough good rest at Camp David, and is retreating even further away to Delaware.
While thousands of Westerners risk becoming Taliban hostages, and while more thousands of Afghan allies face Taliban reprisals to themselves and their families, President Biden is fleeing from cushy Camp David to his home in Wilmington where the sheets are more comfy-cozy.

Unbelievable. But it’s similar to what they did to people by saying hydroxychloroquine was bad just to spite Trump. They don’t care if people die as a result of their lies and treasonous actions - they’re evil.
