ABC Roughs Up Biden on Afghanistan—'Adrift From The Facts'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/22/2021 2:12:58 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

ABC's This Week roundtable today was rather rough on Biden's Afghanistan fiasco.

Leading the charge were host Martha Raddatz and senior national correspondent Terry Moran. Raddatz called Biden's claim that our allies haven't questioned America's credibility "not particularly true." Moran took it a step further, saying "it's not true at all."

Moran went on to cite a number of foreign leaders who have criticized Biden, including former British PM Tony Blair, who called Biden's withdrawal "imbecilic." Moran also commended a speech by Conservative UK MP Tom Tugendhat, a veteran of the Afghan war, who scalded Biden's criticism of the Afghan military as "shameful."

Even Michel Martin of NPR [!] suggested that Biden's reputation would take a hit, saying that his initial comments showed "a lack of empathy" for those suffering as a result of his "botched operation."

..."not particularly true"...

Trump is a liar. Sleepy46 is not particularly true. Nope, can't see the bias there.

Raddatz did her best spin attempt

Failed miserably, as usual

And put a lid on it, like he does several days every week.

How about the 8 months of chaos at our own border, which Biden could easily fix in one month? Biden is a sociopath who loves disorder, so long as the servants are taking care of him. He has sold the Americans in Kabul into slavery and doesn’t care.

The news media sounding aghast over Biden’s ineptness is just an act. They know he isn’t in charge of anything. . . never has been and never will. . . .same with that poor Kamala. . .this is all about the NWO agenda that has been in the works for years and years. The dominoes are falling.

That face you make when the rest of the world sees you as a monster responsible for utterly unnecessary unimaginable suffering...

Biden is a good looking man. That is all.

Fully incompetent, but takes great photos.

Yes, media is setting the stage up for Biden’s departure when Kamala takes over. How and when yet to be seen. But we’re likely entering another act soon.

Taking your word for it.

Never judge a book by it’s cover has never been more true.

“Time to go back to Delaware and pull the binky over your head, Joe.”

My my. Criticism from ABC, the NYTimes, the LATimes, the Washington Post, CNN, plus senior level administration officials contradicting him in public.

Biden getting some polite messages. But if the situation worsens, the messages will get more strident. (Message: he should think about bowing out gracefully, like for health reasons)

Dem leadership sitting on the fence for now, to see which way the wind blows.

“Never judge a book by it’s cover has never been more true.”

That is a major reason he got the legitimate votes he did get, other than the votes of people who hated Trump.

If we had Trump in office now, where would we be?

If Biden bows out Harris is President, is she gets kicked out Pelosi is in. A stunningly bad line up of complete losers.

Here’s the thing.

The Global Deep State controls the US Deep State.

The POTUS is there to do what they are told, that’s it.

Doesn’t matter who occupies the office.

You can puke now. Call Ralph on the big white phone.

Do whatever let’s you get some sleep tonight but Finkle is Einstein, Einstein is Finkle, Finkle is deep state.

He looks more zombie-like every day, except the days they seem to have him hopped up on Adderall or whatever they must use to get him “in shape” to look normal for a few hours. My Trump-hating wife said yesterday, “He looks terrible. He has no expression in his face. Something’s wrong with that man.”

Now I know it’s over for Nappin’ Joe.

I mean this as a compliment but some of your above post sounded like a good movie script.
