Isn't that his normal response to everything?
- No butterscotch pudding cup: stunned!
- His earpiece fails to give him an answer to a reporter's question: stunned!
- Kabul fails: stunned!

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has insisted that the Afghan situation is “manifestly not Saigon.” This has been suggested because helicopters are being used to evacuate embassy personnel. Perhaps it is more like Benghazi. In both cases, the commander-in-chief left the scene: Obama to bed and Biden to Camp David. Americans have been advised to "shelter in place” and fill out a Repatriation Assistance Request. Civilians are advised not to come to the embassy or airport. There has been no mention of the archaic notion of "women and children first."
The president was confident that Afghanistan would not fall to the Taliban. He claimed this because the Afghan government has "300,000 well-equipped" troops. He said they were "as well-equipped as any army in the world." The United States spared no expense in equipping the Afghan army: Airplanes, helicopters, drones, armored vehicles, night-vision goggles, a flight simulator, and even the latest Black Hawk attack helicopters. The president claimed, "I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more—more competent in terms of conducting war." With the rapid surrender of government forces it now seems that the Taliban is "as well-equipped as any army in the world."
The first explanation for this fiasco is that it was a total surprise. The AP reported Biden was "stunned." "This Week" co-anchor and chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz said Sunday that the U.S. was "caught unaware and completely off guard" by the Taliban's rapid advance in Afghanistan. She said that there was a "massive intelligence failure." A earlier U.S. intelligence assessment said Kabul could be encircled in 30 days and could fall to the Taliban within 90 days, but the insurgents captured most of Afghanistan’s major cities in less than a week and entered the capital on Sunday.

So cia getting the blame...uh huh....now lets see how they screw Biden six ways to Sunday
The CIA and Trump getting the blame by our Coward-in-Chief.
The CIA and Trump getting the blame by our Coward-in-Chief.
when Obama’s ethics chief (the old plausible deniability man down the chain that’s really speaking for the boss) comes out slamming Biden in an oped you know his corner is empty.
Generals need to resign. Pelosi, Schumer, Harris and Biden need to resign.
It is all of our’s fiasco, we, in the grand sense not those who post here, let it happen by whom we entrusted our government to. We have a Congress wherein few are vets and worse, almost all are lawyers. Beyond that, our presidents with one recent exception, have no experience outside of government. Basically they all are empty suits only concerned with getting reelected or advancing. Who is a better example of empty suit then Obama or Bidet?
It's worse than Saigon.
Add Blinken and Austin to the resignation list (which of course would include MIlley).
I have a message for President Biden:
Dear President Biden,
GET YOUR FEEBLE, GOAT-SMELLING ASS BACK TO WASHINGTON AND DEAL WITH THIS, YOU DODDERING FOOL. YOU CAN START BY FIRING YOUR CRAVEN SECSTATE, COMMIE NATSEC ADVISER, AND CORRUPT SECDEF.
Sincerely,
The American People
Having no sense of shame or responsibility, nor honor, that's not going to happen.
Good advice but I doubt he will act on it.
Isn't that his normal response to everything?
This was a failure all the way around. My goodness it was supposed to be a planned withdrawal and they wait until the Taliban is entering the city to start shredding sensitive documents? They wait until then to start evacuating Embassy personnel? They apparently had no plan at all except to turn Kabul over to the Taliban terrorists!
hey its a complete and total fluster cuck but its not saigon
Not a smart move by Bydone to go after the CIA. JFK found out the hard way.
"Fiasco?!"
Rout, disaster, total defeat, etc. - Lot's of words come to mind which are more descriptive.
It isn't a mere "fiasco."
Regards,
No its worse than Saigon.
Not one sane person in the Biden administration how many rocks did they have to turn over to find them all?.
The CIA was focusing all their efforts on destroying Trump and going woke....If they were even halfway competent this would not have been a surprise.
