BBC: Incompetent Joe Biden Presiding Over Chaos in Afghanistan Disaster

BBC REPORTS:
It is simply dizzying the speed at which events are unfolding - earlier this week US officials were cautioning that it would be months before Kabul might fall. It's turned out to be days.
And now, for all the diplomatic window dressing, this is turning into a scramble by the Americans to get out.
Officials at the embassy were told to destroy sensitive documents, helicopters are ferrying staff to the airport. The Ambassador has left, the US flag lowered. And it's left the Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, trying to put a brave face on events.
Arguments can be made about the US policy to pull out - there is a strong feeling that US involvement couldn't continue ad infinitum. But the manner of the withdrawal has been hapless, with a mass of miscalculation, warnings ignored, and - critically - a wild over-estimation of the capability of the American-trained Afghan armed forces.
The policy may have been framed by Donald Trump when he was president, but Joe Biden owns this unfolding chaos.

Mariner & Doodlebob...nice way to welcome the new guy or gal! Make him or feel welcome.
FR needs new blood. That isn’t the way to get it.

Biden’s Americas back indeed of the line where no country can trust us as long as the democrats are in charge.

If the government wanted it to be different it would be different. Joe Biden is owned by the CCP. We are in the middle of losing the war.

Wonder what the troop count is on the number of soldiers abandoned in the field with no way to get to Kabul?

I don’t think you understand. This “new” FReeper has his own blog. He’s directing FR traffic to it through posting on FR to an article already on his blog. That’s deceptive advantage. The more hits he gets on his own blog, the more money he makes from advertisers. On FR’s back. That’s scavenging.

It happens to the best of us. I didn’t realize that he was a blog pimp either.
