MEDIA SHOULD ASK: What Flavor Taliban Joe? BEN & JERRY'S LEFT HAND FECAL TWINKLE?

The Afghanistan debacle has temporarily taken our eyes off debacles-in-the-making here at home.
Joe Biden -- daily shuffling closer to a bottomless bowl of ice cream -- took to the airwaves the other night to double-down on failure. Claimed our latter-day -- albeit, wooden -- Harry Truman: the buck stopped on his desk for the fiasco decorously referred to as the collapse of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Not really, though.
Either Biden’s cocktail of psychotropics needs adjustment or plain cynicism drove him to trot out the Truman cliché. Biden inanely fingered Trump and pro-American Afghanis for his lack of a cogent exit strategy. If the buck made it to Joe’s desk, he quickly pocketed it. Old habits die hard.
The Afghanistan regime’s collapse was at warp speed. Twenty years of nation-building availed nothing more than a trillion-dollar sandcastle. Such are the conceits and hubris of “Making the World Safe for Democracy.” A century plus of Wilsonian foreign policy (one part interventionism, two parts sanctimony) is a chronicle of failures. There are no points for good intentions.
You’d think our elected leaders and “best and brightest” would have learned something from LBJ’s Vietnam catastrophe. Robert McNamara’s metrics-driven execution of the war (remember the obsession with “body counts?”) is a wonk’s way, not a warrior’s. Johnson’s limited war strategy came a-cropper, effectively giving Ho Chi Min and his cutthroat communists the space and time to outlast the U.S. Dick Nixon came in from the bullpen in ’68 to clean up the mess. But learn from that woeful episode? Nah!

You know deep in their hearts, the Left loves the Taliban.
Byedone is correct about the buck stops at his desk. A LOT of bucks.
Bkmk
Deep in their hearts, they are the Taliban.
“Three and a Half more Years of Biden-Harris”
Three and a Half more Years of Soros-Obama
There, fixed it
... if the US can survive that long
Let’s remember who is ultimately to blame: Every democrat, taliban party voter.
The Taliban is like the Amish but with heavy weapons.
I would argue that three and a half more years is good.
By the next Presidential election, the country including all the ignorant and deluded NAACP/BLM types will be demanding a change that may last for decades
Keep your head down and keep on keeping on
Biden will be gone in a week, maybe a little more. The Jig is up.
Jig? Racist!!!
Wonder how many people understand what the message the Taliban were giving.
I truly believe I hate Biden more than I hate Obama.
I hate the Repuke enablers most of all.
