Biden Crumbles

Once again, President Biden waited hours to address the worried nation, probably because he had to rehearse phrases he never says and, I suspect, doesn't believe. 

Biden lamented the disaster, but where has he been? People have been outraged for days at this obvious slow-motion catastrophe. Yet Biden insisted that he hasn't made any mistakes. 

Back in March, Biden assured us, "If we leave, we're going to do so in a safe and orderly way." Clearly, he failed. Just like he has failed to secure the border and failed to "crush COVID." (Remember, Biden kept telling us that he had a plan to crush COVID and to save lives and the economy.) 

To paraphrase the left, "Biden lied and people died."

Biden talked tough yesterday, saying, "I will defend our interests and our people with every measure at my command." Excuse me?!  

The number one controversy for the past week has been his decision not to protect our interests or people in Afghanistan! He has repeatedly signaled that he will leave Americans behind. 

He turned security in Kabul over to the Taliban. Now he's given them a list of Americans and Afghan allies still in the country. He's handed our enemies a "kill list." 

Of course, Biden blamed Donald Trump, and he also blamed the military. He said that our generals advised him to abandon Bagram Air Force Base. If that is true, then whoever made that recommendation should resign immediately. 

Frankly, they should have resigned already. Our military experts had to know what a disaster this was going to be. They should have told him, "Mr. President, you're ordering us to do something that is guaranteed to fail. If you insist, we're resigning in protest."

Do any of our generals have the courage and honor to resign in protest now? I'm not optimistic. (See below.) 

Meanwhile, more Republicans are demanding Biden's resignation or impeachment. And given the way he crumbled after a tough question from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, I shudder to think of Biden going toe-to-toe with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping or Ayatollah Khamenei.
