Well, he’s given the media their talking point (blame it on Trump)
**************
I don’t think anyone is buying it. This fiasco unfolded after Biden has been in office 8 months. There was plenty of time to plan for an orderly withdrawal. He owns this mess.

This whole thing smacks of string pulling. Buttden isn’t this stupid. Someone is orchestrating this to happen just as it has happened. All part of the plan.
To: stanne
This is a disaster of biblical proportions or as close to it as Americans care to be
That’s actually how I’m seeing this. The fallout will almost certainly be epic. We’re just getting started...
Buckle up.

Bidon sized up the situation, thought about how long socialist bureaucrats would take to perform the task, and cut that time in half.
The jihadi’s are not bureaucrats. They performed the task in days
To: Hojczyk
I wonder what Hillary Clinton thinks about all of this since she has a lot of experience in this kind of thing.
Maybe Jimmy Carter has something to say too.
Foreign policy is such a strong point with Democrats.

Absolutely breathtaking the amount of destruction that bunch has wrought in such short a time frame. Makes Obozo look like Ronald Reagan compared to this. Making it to the 4 year mark as an intact nation - or planet - is looking grim.

Biden will be blaming Trump. Watch this video for the facts:
“Mike Pompeo calls out Biden's 'pathetic blame shifting' on Afghanistan.”

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...

I saw the one-star General who didn’t even have is name tag on his uniform.
Isn’t that considered being out of uniform?
No idea, but would seem so.

“Essentially, the generals made no provision for air support during the withdrawal and no plan for securing or disabling the advanced military weapons and technology we had there.”
If true every single one of them should face a Court Martial.
Every single one.

Every opportunist on the globe has already put Afghanistan in their rear view mirror on their dash to open up on America now. It’s gonna be full game on.

It's good that someone is watching CNN and reporting on it so the rest of us don't have to watch CNN.
If they keep bashing Biden, it may be a signal that the move to replace him with Kamala is not far off.
If Kamala becomes President, it will be interesting to see who she is told to select for the new Vice President. Some token like Buttigieg or Booker who could be impeachment insurance because no one would want that person as President, or someone marginally competent who might have a shot at winning the 2024 election? (Of course they probably figure that they will be able to cheat again on a massive enough scale that even Biden or Harris could win.)
To: Verginius Rufus
Booty-Gig will be the VP for a while, then resign, AND defeat Kamalamadingdong in the 2024 primary/caucus. Booty-Gig will lose to DeSantis in the Nov. election.
