Word of today’s horror at Kabul, costing the lives of 13 American military members so far, was not wholly unexpected.
Just yesterday on this blog the incompetence of the Biden regime was chronicled. That lack of ability among a president and his advisors is dangerous in the best of times, but becomes deadly in times of geopolitical flux such as that unfolding in Afghanistan.
Want additional bad news on a day already full of it? There’s more to come in the way of terrorism.
It won’t necessarily be limited to Afghanistan. The way Biden has thrown open our southern border invites terrorists to march into this country and to plot their deeds with little if any interference.
It would not surprise me to learn of terrorists coming here and immediately being put on the public dole as they work to derail this nation. Social justice warriors among the bureaucracy eagerly will sign them up for all possible governmental handouts, register them as Democrats and vote for them 10 or 15 times each, too.
It was disconcerting to see Biden stumble through his address to the nation, begun, in typical Biden fashion, 25 minutes later than advertised. Perhaps they needed the extra time to get Biden’s diaper changed.
The guy came across as frail and weak, despite his blustering about tracking down the terrorists and holding them accountable. As some qualified analysts pointed out, good luck tracking them down when your intelligence sources in Afghanistan are cowering in basements, or have left the country to avoid being handed over to the Taliban.
During his address, Biden at least partially confirmed that his clueless people had handed over lists of Americans in the country and Afghans who had aided us, to enable them to pass through Taliban checkpoints around the Kabul airport, hoping to be flown out of the country.
As one media source called it, such a compilation amounts to a death list. How convenient that the Taliban has all the names in order to search for them and, likely, to kill them.
Speaking of the Taliban, it is that terrorist group that Biden and friends have charged with protecting the outer perimeter at the Kabul airport. It likely was a Taliban-manned checkpoint through which the suicide bombers passed yesterday on their way to visiting carnage on our troops and innocent civilians.
No, said Biden, he doesn’t trust the Taliban. But they control the country so we are depending on their help.
I wonder how House Democrats, who foamed at the mouth because Donald Trump once had Russian dressing on a salad, are progressing in their impeachment plans for Biden, him having entrusted a terrorist organization to aid our troops, resulting in 13 deaths among those troops – so far.
Of course Biden blamed Trump for the Afghanistan problem, noting Trump had negotiated with the Taliban to withdraw U.S. Troops by May. Alas, Trump allegedly lost the election and so Biden came up with his own plan, but got a lot of details wrong.
First, Biden incorrectly presumed you can take out most of your military capability, including handing over your massive military air facility, without first having gotten the civilians out.
Second, Biden forgot that when you lose what Teddy Roosevelt used to call the “big stick” your diplomacy becomes a toothless tiger.
Third, hearing Biden whining about inheriting a plan and being stuck with it rings hollow. He inherited Trump strengthening our southern border, both with a physical wall and stepped up patrols, but took the guts out of that.
Biden also inherited a trade policy making inroads with China’s mercantilism, and a United States that was the largest oil producer in the world and energy independent. Already Biden, or his handlers, have dismantled those initiatives.
Biden is a stooge and most of the people he counts on for advice are similarly deficient in critical reasoning ability.
At times, this puppet reveals his strings to the public. Before opening his address to questions from the media, Biden blurted out a name and added “the first person I was instructed to call upon.”
Instructed by whom? Aren’t you the commander-in-chief?
After mishandling a few questions, Biden was looking for the exit, cutting off further inquiries by saying “I have another meeting, for real.”
Other times it isn’t “for real?”
Unfortunately, the rapid decline of this great nation after just months of Biden stewardship is very much for real.
