It’s a foreign-policy humiliation unlike anything our country has endured since the Iran hostage crisis.
The likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country [of Afghanistan] is highly unlikely,” President Biden confidently proclaimed in July. “There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy.”
One month later, the scenario Mr. Biden deemed impossible has become a horrifying reality. In recent days, the world has watched panicked civilians cling to U.S. military aircraft in a desperate attempt to escape the chaos unleashed by Mr. Biden’s reckless retreat. American diplomats had to beg our enemies not to storm our embassy in Kabul. Taliban fighters have seized scores of American military vehicles, rifles, artillery, aircraft, helicopters and drones.
The Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan is a foreign-policy humiliation unlike anything our country has endured since the Iran hostage crisis.

Golly. If only we had done more to keep him out of office.
Shut up Mike Pence, you are a disgrace and helped bring this about.
So what did you want Pence to do then?
I am not of that opinion.
I think a heck of a lot more could been done to stop Dementia Joe from stealing the elections including even by President Trump himself and by Republicans and conservatives.
To try and put everything on Pence is disingenuous.
Rupert Murdoch pimping the traitor Pence in his Wall Street Journal. Remember Arizona!
It was Trump’s deal, Pence! You had. Nothing to do with it!
“To try and put everything on Pence is disingenuous”
It ain’t ALL on pence but he sure owns his part of it that’s for sure.
Pence is part of the problem
Like most of us.
My thoughts exactly. In the very least he could have obliged the many who called on him to delay so they could investigate the fraud, such as several in the GA state legislature and Ted Cruz.

It was a deal owned, managed, run and administered by hundreds. It was probably proposed as one of dozens and written up by planners. There is no single individual who “owns” a plan or in your words a “deal.” That’s like saying the programmer at JPMorgan who developed the next best thing in IT that sets them as a premiere leader in the industry is owned by Jamie Dimon as if he devised, concocted and administered it from inception.
That’s just ridiculous.
Wanted her m to so what some of the state legislatures asked him to do, return the delegate votes. At the very least stand up for the 7 million Americans who voted for Trump. Come to the side of the 409 Americans who have been tracked down by the feds and treated unconstitutionally. Instead he acted like a weak little puppy.
And you broke your deal with the President.
FUMP
Really, give us a “for instance”
STFU, Pence...you coward and traitor!
Not body is putting everything on him but he has shown he has no backbone. He needs to go home and forget politics. Nobody will ever trust him again.
Mike Pence didn’t have the power to delay certification. He’s not the one who certifies the votes. I just don’t get this obsession that seemingly smart people have with expecting Pence to do something he had no Constitutional power to do.
