Biden was engrossed in Kabul evacuation amid chaotic US withdrawal: book

President Biden was personally involved in solving problems at the Kabul airport during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, directing people on the ground to find ways to get Afghans at risk out of the country, a new book details.

The first excerpt of Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer’s “The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden’s White House and the Struggle for America’s Future” was released on Tuesday. The excerpt, “The Final Days: Joe Biden was determined to get out of Afghanistan—no matter the cost,” recalls the U.S. troop withdrawal in August 2021.

The book’s release comes as the country marks the 2-year anniversary of the chaotic withdrawal, one of Biden’s first major foreign policy moves as president. House Republicans have been investigating the withdrawal, which they dubbed “disastrous.”

He (Biden) wasn’t directing diddly, the Bammy Whammy Brigade was coordinating the killing of our Troops.

Biden’s only interest in Kabul was picking out children to sniff.

“Biden was engrossed in Kabul evacuation amid chaotic US withdrawal”

So that was the problem? Everything Xiden touches turns to crap.

I find that hard to believe. But if true, it’s only more evidence that Biden is hopelessly and dangerously incompetent.

That’s probably not the message the ‘Atlantic’ writer meant to convey.

Biden couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if directions were printed on the sole.

no matter the cost

Like destroying our military and military recruiting. My SIL is in the 82nd and the 82nd was a Kabul. Since then reenlistment is way down. Since Kabul and all this woke crap, recruitment is way down. The 82nd doesn’t have a single battalion at full strength. That’s Joe Biden’s fault. That’s just one of the costs. Weak people make America weak. Biden is weak.
