I’ve heard a few people say it, but I don’t remember who. All Americans, Republicans and Democrats, should be outraged at Biden’s incompetence and obvious lack of concern or leadership.
......
Would Donald Trump have done this differently?
Remember that Trump fired Ambassador John Bolton as national security advisor when Bolton openly rebelled against Trump’s decision to negotiate a peace agreement with the Taliban.
Trump’s deal set a firm withdrawal date for U.S. combat troops — May 1, 2021.
But that’s where the similarities with Biden end. As Trump recounted three weeks ago at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Phoenix, he bombed the Taliban to the negotiating table.
After warning Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada that he would “come back and hit you harder than any country has ever been hit” if he welched on the deal, Trump made good on his threat and launched punishing airstrikes the first time the Taliban violated the agreement.
Since then, not a single U.S. soldier has died in combat in Afghanistan.
Trump also maintained U.S. fighter jets and armed drones at Bagram airbase and used them to keep the Taliban in check. Biden ordered the midnight evacuation of the airbase on July 5 without even notifying the Afghan military. Not surprisingly, within hours the Taliban had looted the base and today our remaining troops have no U.S. air cover.
Great article.
Good for NYP for calling out XiDen and offering deserved kudos, to RPOTUS.
Biden extended it, for what? To give the Taliban time to organize..
Sure looks that way, doesn’t it?

Thanks for all the information.
This explains more than I heard all day over the media news.
Can you believe that hack, Liz Cheney, is trying to place blame on RPOTUS Trump and Pompeo?
Whaddawitch.
Gotta buy those votes!

I don’t know about you guys but I’d gladly trade a few mean (but also true) tweets for some of that $1.85 gas, Mid East Peace, energy independence, record unemployment, rising wages, a safe and secure border, and no skyrocketing inflation right about now. #BidenisaFailure
Goes back to Elise Stafinik’s question of how much is XiDen paying Tolleybon, mon, for ‘letting’ us do this?
And, what about the people of Afghanistan....specifically, the ones who helped us, over there?

The Taliban are butchers. We demanded a set of conditions and made clear the costs we would impose if they failed to deliver. They haven’t. The deterrence we achieved held during our time. This administration has failed.

I wonder if our govt officials in Afghanistan will leave some literature on gender pronouns and CRT behind when they evacuate our embassy so that the Taliban can educate themselves and become a stronger fighting force.
Hopefully the Taliban will leave the Pride Flag up?!?
I Now Believe Biden and Company are fast pacing full mode destroying US All!
Good question.....
Makes me wonder if she’s actually gunning for Nan’s job.
That should do it.

The United States joins the international community in affirming that Afghans and international citizens who wish to depart must be allowed to do so. Roads, airports, and border crossing must remain open, and calm must be maintained.

It was predicted to be 106* yesterday and today but because of all the smoke it is preventing all the sunrays from getting through.
