Afghanistan: Voters Blame Biden, Not Trump, for Taliban Takeover
https://www.rasmussenreports.com ^ | Aug 18, 2021

Most voters aren’t buying President Joe Biden’s attempt to shift the blame for the Taliban’s sudden takeover of Afghanistan.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters say Biden is more to blame for the Taliban taking over Afghanistan, while 38% say former President Trump is more to blame. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Trump has not been president for 8 months. The strategic plan was 100% implemented in the past few months and weeks. Trying to deflect blame is peak absurdity. This is on the incompetent military brass and the late stage demented ‘president’.

Most Americans don’t read about what’s going on in pubs like this forum. They rely on Twitter and major media. What do you expect? Like Biden, they couldn’t find Afghanistan on a map.

The public always blames the current occupant of the Whitehouse because the public are generally uninformed and focused on the present.

This is their playbook. Obama and his media henchmen blamed everything on leftover problems from the Bush years. When things go south for a Democrat, blamed is assessed to the previous Republican occupant of the office.

Silly Milley in CYA mode.

Just like Nanzi.

Under the bus goes Joe (and, hopefully Ho).

Milley was one who favored the midnight cut and run from Bagram Air Force Base

I didn't see ANY resignations or even a hint of a public policy dispute by any key Generals past or present.

These losers own this disaster.

It's worse that they were fully aware of the impending disaster but did nothing to inform the public until literally after the Taliban had taken over.

Instead they push their woke crap on the country and make plans to use anti terror laws against Americans who oppose their profoundly destructive agenda

Now they try to publish their cover their ass letters and smarmy “told ya so” prevaricating

Not buying it.

They own this as much as Biden does.

Good point. Milley had no trouble bucking Trump in public.

It’s been less than a week. The real attempt to shift blame to Trump hasn’t started in earnest yet.

When it comes to determining "blame", shouldn't the question of just who might be Mister Biden's "advisors" be posed?

Do we even know all of them?
