CNN on Biden's Afghanistan Nightmare: 'If This Isn't Failure, What Does Failure Look Like?'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/19/2021 2:51:31 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

This morning CNN's New Day aired a report by correspondent Clarissa Ward from the Kabul airport. There, in addition to being roughly confronted by Taliban fighters, she was beseeched for advice by Afghans who had served as translators to US forces, desperate to get into the airport and out of the country.

After that piece ran, Ward was interviewed live by co-host Brianna Keilar. Commenting on Biden's interview of yesterday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News in which Biden refused to acknowledge failure, Ward described heart-rending scenes in which parents were throwing their babies over razor wire at the airport, hoping to get them to safety.

Concluded Ward:

"If this isn’t failure, what does failure look like exactly?"

Failure: SOP for Biden. Since the day he illegally took up residence in the white house, everything he touched turned to $hit.

Obama got Biden to pick Harris VP.

And ironically, guess why Obama chose Biden for his VP for eight years?

Because, as Obama put it himself, "Biden has a reputation for f*cking things up".

If she gets out of there in one piece, she will be lucky.
