Statement by President and Mrs. Bush on Afghanistan: "Laura and I, along with the team at the Bush Center, stand ready as Americans to lend our support and assistance in this time of need. [tr]
George W. Bush Presidential Center ^ | August 16, 2021 | George W. Bush

Laura and I have been watching the tragic events unfolding in Afghanistan with deep sadness. Our hearts are heavy for both the Afghan people who have suffered so much and for the Americans and NATO allies who have sacrificed so much.

The Afghans now at the greatest risk are the same ones who have been on the forefront of progress inside their nation. President Biden has promised to evacuate these Afghans, along with American citizens and our allies. The United States government has the legal authority to cut the red tape for refugees during urgent humanitarian crises. And we have the responsibility and the resources to secure safe passage for them now, without bureaucratic delay. Our most stalwart allies, along with private NGOs, are ready to help.

Typical of our Ivygarchy, not one word about the responsibility he has for the worse foreign policy debacle since Saigon.

I wonder what Laura Bush’s foreign policy is?

Show us the way big guy. Drop off about 5 or 6 at his front door, so they can take care of them.

Maybe let a few hundred stay out at the ranch in Waco

Long since disillusioned about Bush, but this Debacle is pure Biden.

Anytime any of these creeps talk about "assistance", they always have in mind the middle class paying the bill. If the creeps like jorge busho, o'bummer, billy gates, etc, were going to step up and halve their fortunes to help the needy, I could at least have some respect for them.

But they're nothing but a bunch of empty suits and hot air.

Open his ranch in Crawford for a tent city. This dismal, stupid man and his mendacious, treacherous father always remind me that we have had two great Republican presidents in the past 42 years and its neither of them.

Unfortunately he forgot to clear the table, wash the dishes, and clean up.

“An Afghani interpreter I have come to know well over the years was hung in the streets last night. They melted his DoD ID into his chest. Cut off his arms. And killed his family.

His 10 year old daughter was spared and handed off to leadership.”

- Joe Lonsdale

and

“… DoD’s pathetic mistakes aside - bureaucrats couldn’t approve our allies’ visas in time & no leader in our Govt was competent to figure it out.

So much to fix. But if this doesn’t call for civil service reform and accountability and an overhaul of Govt, I don’t know what does.”

- Joe Lonsdale

Don’t hear/read/see a word of criticism against Joe.
