Biden's Afghan Blunder

We're just seven months into his presidency and already Joe Biden has committed one of the greatest military and national security blunders in modern American history. 

In 1975, America suffered a black eye when the world watched the fall of Saigon and the desperate South Vietnamese trying to escape the communists. It took years to recover from that debacle. 

In 1979, jihadists overthrew the Iranian government and seized 52 hostages at the U.S. Embassy. Then-President Jimmy Carter was paralyzed and helpless. After months of humiliation, he tried to run a rescue operation out of the White House. It was a complete fiasco.  Multiple aircraft were lost, eight servicemen died, and no one was rescued.

We're still dealing with the Iranian jihadists today. In fact, Biden is negotiating with them right now. But I suspect Jimmy Carter is breathing a sigh of relief this morning. He lived long enough to see a president weaker than he was.

If we're lucky, the horrible scenes coming out of Afghanistan will end soon. But the damage done to America's national security and reputation will not end soon. 

The White House said yesterday that we will continue to bring Afghans to the U.S. who are in danger. But White House officials had little to say about the 11,000 Americans still trapped there.

Joe Biden left Washington when this fiasco began. He didn't talk to one American ally until yesterday. He's blamed everybody but himself. So, it's not surprising that he returned to Washington last night under the cover of darkness.

I'd like to say that Biden should resign. But then Kamala Harris would become president, and she hasn't been seen in a week!
