Biden's Bay of Prigs
Flopping Aces ^ | 08-21-21 | DrJohn

Instead of simmering down, the crisis in Afghanistan is getting worse by the day. It has been likened to the fall of Saigon but that is not a good analogy. The airport at Saigon was controlled by the US military. In Afghanistan the Taliban control everything thanks to Joe Biden's galactic incompetence. Biden has been reduced to begging the Taliban for favors. He's "asking" for their help. He looks pathetically weak and he can't stop lying.

And that is a real big problem.

He said unequivocally that the timeline and manner of the Afghanistan withdrawal was his decision.

Yet he keeps blaming Trump. His weasels assert that Biden is "deeply engaged" in events but I am not sure what events those are. At his last sort of press conference (during which he took 5 questions and still screwed everything up) he took this position:

That was simply untrue.
But ABC's Ian Pannell reported from Kabul, over audio of gunfire: "For several nights now, we've reported on the violence and terror outside Kabul airport, and Americans and Afghans who can't get through."
Lloyd Austin, who is committed to rooting out conservatives from the military while seeking to make CRT the main focus at West Point, sheepishly had to disagree After repeatedly telling Americans that they had to find their way to the Kabul airport, the Biden geniuses are telling people to stay away:
“Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport,” the embassy advised on their website, “we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so.”
Just yesterday Biden said that to the “best of our knowledge – Taliban checkpoints – they are letting through people showing American passports.”

Well, no. It's just turned very dark

In the latest blow to those running up against the clock, Afghan-Americans on Thursday said that Taliban fighters are now attempting to take their U.S. passports and identification orders in an attempt to stop them from leaving the country.
And Biden?
“We’ve made an agreement with the Taliban,” Biden said. “So we know of no circumstance where American citizens are carrying an American passport for trying to get through to the airport, but we will do whatever needs to be done to see to get more."
Really, who would doubt that the Taliban would keep their word? Here's another beauty
Following criticism of the United States' conduct in their withdrawal, Biden says he has seen "no question of our credibility from our allies around the world."
Oh yeah?
German politician Armin Laschet, the heir-apparent to outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel, described the situation even more harshly. “This is the greatest debacle that NATO has seen since its foundation, and it is an epochal change that we are facing,” he said this week.
Thomas Jocelyn:

,@POTUS just claimed that al Qaeda is "gone" from Afghanistan. Not true. In fact, the Haqqani Network, which is closely allied with al Qaeda, is playing a big role in Kabul right now. The Haqqanis are intertwined with al Qaeda.

Biden actually received a diplomatic cable warning him of the coming collapse of Afghanistan but in his in his typical arrogant and impudent manner dismissed it:

The “Bay of Pigs” moment for Biden may well be when he tries to REMOVE our troops. God hope I’m wrong.

UK Col Richard Kemp, “I don’t believe President Biden should be impeached. He’s the commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces who’s just essentially surrendered to the Taliban: He shouldn’t be impeached. He should be court-martialed for betraying the United States of America and the United States armed forces.”

As much as I dislike Democrats, Joe Biden & Kamala Harris and the entire traitor/turncoat/ failed Democrat Party...I truly pity the walking,buffoon, retard, lie teller, cheat, criminal, Democrat, Joe Biden and his weak brain VP, Democrat, Kamala Harris!!! IMHO...they both should be impeached and removed from office.

Actually, Joe Biden has been betrayed by his own wife, family and political Party.The poor soul is a walking 100% Moron, Retard, that belongs in an old age home...not the White House!!! The truth is always the truth and the truth is Biden never should have been presented by the Democrat Party as a qualified POTUS candidate. Sadly Obama who loves and adores only himself built no bench of qualified Democrat POTUS, Candidates...so Biden was the scum & vermin in the bottom of the barrel...the only choice Obama had available!!!

Tony Blair’s condemnation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan – based, he wrote, upon an “imbecilic political slogan about ending the ‘forever wars’”, which just happens to be what Joe Biden ran on in 2020 – marks the complete transformation of elite perceptions of the Biden presidency. The establishment consensus, desperate to be rid of Donald Trump, was that the veteran Democrat would be a return to stability. Instead, the haunting scenes of chaos at Kabul airport have led to denunciation even by Left-wing admirers – by almost every faction in the foreign policy debate, in fact, from those who think we should stay to those who believe we should never have gone there.

The United States’ tawdry, hopelessly mishandled withdrawal matters to the entire Western community because it has grim humanitarian consequences, Islamists have gained a base of operations and our global competitors are emboldened.

Dumbkirk Biden!:

The question in my mind is how did we get so many Afghan-American citizens? My guess is that many were granted a passport without ever stepping on to US soil, or encountering any immigration agent.
