'I have grave questions about his ability to lead our nation': Obama's Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker slams Biden and says his disastrous Afghanistan policy might prove he's unfit to be commander in chief
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 16 2021 | ELIZABETH ELKIND

A veteran US diplomat who headed the Kabul embassy twice - including in 2002 soon after it reopened after five years of Taliban rule - said he has 'grave' concerns over President Joe Biden's ability to lead the United States after Afghanistan fell to the insurgent group once again on Sunday.

Former Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker on Monday called the Taliban's takeover a predictable 'self-inflicted wound' to US foreign policy.

'That's why this is all so sad,' Crocker said.

F*ck Crocker.

He isn’t wrong but he’s a Muslim apologist from the word Go.

She also didn’t want to take the military’s advice. She endorsed Joe’s plan. The two of them own this.

Third in line is........Pelosi!!!

This situation is EXACTLY why a woman as president is a bad idea.

Jill (Edith Wilson) Biden is a failure

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Looks like Phd Jill is in charge:

Update on the infighting in the Biden administration.

According to Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec, the Biden White House is descending into fighting among rival staffers.

He said that Biden’s Chief of Staff wanted to get Biden back to the White House.

Jill Biden blocked it.

Kamala refused to do a press conference because she is focused on Haiti and not Afghanistan.

Ron Klain wanted Biden to rush back to DC yesterday afternoon to the Situation Room but Jill stepped in saying that Biden could ‘project his leadership’ from anywhere, per WH official

Joe Biden went to sleep early:

Biden went to sleep earlier than usual tonight, per WH official. ‘He was confused by all the conflicting intel reports’

HAHAHAHA! That’s me too! I just got 32 acres in the woods, a can of gas, a book of matches and a fiddle. I’ll watch it from here. :)

I kinda feel like that guy in the movie “2012” that stood on the hill top watching the new volcano being formed right in front of him. It’s a cool show, until it gets you too. :)

Crocker said Dementia Joe’s mistake was following Trump’s policy. Crocker is a liar.

Despite your misogynistic viewpoint, if we were lucky enough to find a woman like, say, Margaret Thatcher, I’d be very happy to have her as president. Certainly couldn’t do worse than men like Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama and Biden.

This obama doofus must be the only person in the country who has questions about biden’s ability to lead the nation. All those who have been paying attention have no questions at all about any so-called ability. We know for certain.

Obama’s people are calling for Biden’s ouster! Fun fun fun~! Who is next? Axelrod? I’ll bet that Biden is allergic to ousters.

We are watching Obama’s third term.

According to a new report, Joe Biden wanted to call Barack Obama for help.

His handlers talked him out of it.

Biden wanted to call 44 for advice but advisors convinced him not to, per WH official

— Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) August 16, 2021

Biden should be resigning!

Never forget this quote from Obama:

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up” – President Barack Obama

It’s nice to find some common ground these days.

“... might prove he’s unfit to be commander in chief”

That is really profound.

You have fire insurance, hope.

He’s too arrogant to simply resign, IMO
