Parliament holds Joe Biden in contempt over Afghanistan
The Telegraph UK ^ | Bed Riley-Smith

Posted on 08/21/2021 3:35:29 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Joe Biden's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal was condemned as "catastrophic" and "shameful" on Wednesday as the Houses of Parliament delivered an unprecedented rebuke to a US president.

MPs and peers from across the political spectrum, including Boris Johnson, put some blame for the Taliban's takeover and the chaos that followed on Britain's closest ally.

Mr Biden was accused of "throwing us and everybody else to the fire" by pulling out US troops, and was called "dishonourable" for criticising Afghan forces for not having the will to fight.

Former defence chiefs who led British troops in the Middle East were among those to speak out, while there were warnings that the West's withdrawal would embolden Russia and China.

The interventions mark a deterioration in UK-US relations almost exactly 20 years after Britain joined America in invading Afghanistan to root out terrorism after the September 11 attacks.

"The West could not continue this US-led mission – a mission conceived and executed in support and defence of America – without American logistics, without US air power and without American might," the Prime Minister said in a clear swipe at Washington.

wow - that’s got to sting. seems that America’s back under Joe means “America’s back” has been turned on you. and yet they were cheering his victory not that long ago. a lot of bad judgment spread around the world.

“How ya feel now?”

Exactly!

It proves the statement by (I think, Churchill) that:

‘What is good for the US is good for the world. What is bad for the US is HORRIBLE for the world.’

But But But

From my own ears, I heard pResident biden say he had not heard a single world leader disagree with his decision. Not one. All the coalition members were on board with the pull out.
Does this mean Donald Trump supporters have infiltrated both Houses of Parliament?

“Build Backward Better”

Unwind and undo all that Trump did in four years, despite the CIA and FBI led insurgency and coup, initiated by Obama and Biden.

Thats the plan.

Never forget that Boris Johnson was the very first foreign leader to congratulate Potato Joe for his “win.” Netanyahu followed immediately after.

It seems like the Brits are a little late to the party.

I’ve dispised that POS since he was installed in the White House.

One thing about Biden though is he as proved the Axiom that everything the Rat’s touch turns to excrement.

Has this been reported on the tv and radio news channels?
It would be 24/7 if it was Donald Trump!
