George W. Bush urges Biden to ‘cut the red tape’ for Afghan refugees
NY Post ^ | Aug. 17, 2021 | Kenneth Garger

Former President George W. Bush on Monday urged President Joe Biden to “cut the red tape” and allow for the swift evacuation of Afghan refugees following the Taliban’s takeover of the country.

Responding to the fall of Afghanistan’s US-backed government, Bush said the Afghans “at the greatest risk are the same ones who have been on the forefront of progress inside their nation.”

The costly US-led war in Afghanistan began just shy of 20 years ago after the 9/11 attack while Bush was president.

Bush, in his Monday statement, noted Biden has promised to evacuate the Afghans who assisted Americans and its NATO allies over the past two decades.

“The United States government has the legal authority to cut the red tape for refugees during urgent humanitarian crises. And we have the responsibility and the resources to secure safe passage for them now, without bureaucratic delay,” he said in his statement.

Standard deep-state/globalist/Davos operating procedure:

Get into a lengthy war in a foreign country

spend $trillions in debt.

Let millions of “refugees” from said nation into your country.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Biden’s arbitrary deadline was created by an upcoming anniversary where they believed the announcement would improve approval ratings and the Polls.

I’d rather send them to Nantucket Island, Martha’s Vineyard or Malibu California instead.

Barricades and view-blocking screens were put up at the Dulles Expo Center entrances in Chantilly, VA as the arriving Afghanis showed up in buses from IAD and were shoved through the place like a modern day Ellis Island (without the physical and mental health screening, much less criminal as there was no way that there was time for all that). Then they were sent off to who-knows-where in the US. Sure there was vetting...

Too bad this guy wasn't more accurate.

You'd think after that incident, he would have gotten it.
