... This week, President Joe Biden made a dark political bet that Americans would forget a 20-year war. Biden and his aides, many of whom have lived and worked inside the bubble of Washington for most of their adult lives, believed the political fallout would be limited because people were war-weary.
Their exit strategy was based on internal and public polling that showed the Afghanistan withdrawal was popular, even though the same polls showed it was not something people were paying attention to.
In short, it was all about what made Biden popular with voters.
This has backfired. The Biden administration, filled with people who make their living with a plastic world of political calculations, believes based on polling that this will blow over. It will be just fine.
Biden fails to understand why the United States is transfixed by these images and reporting. In televised statements and interviews, he has repeatedly failed to make the distinction that any child could — between the decision to leave Afghanistan and his appalling execution of that evacuation.
The exit has been chaotic, deadly, gruesome, and humiliating. It has caused many people to lose faith in the leadership of the military.
Biden has defended indefensible failures and inexcusable ignorance of conditions in Afghanistan. He has defended pulling our military out at the same time as he left so many U.S. citizens still in the country.
This disaster will not fade from the headlines.

Baby over wire fence will be a lasting impression. Not quite the tank Tiananmen square picture...but still high on the list
Biden doesn’t understand he’s just a proxy for a leftist totalitarian takeover of the United States via internal and possible foreign agent who simultaneously intend to destroy our Constitution, election process, our border, our economy and our freedoms.
And it’s not over, it’s just getting started
Every day will be worse than the one before, for the new few months
Biden admin flunkies will all have white hair by the end of the summer ... and even then it won’t be over ...
what a freaking disaster
Build Back Better Taliban.
‘ President Joe Biden made a dark political bet that Americans would forget a 20-year war.’
Where do these writers come up with tgese suppositions? Tgis is just not necessarily true
People ascribe motivations to politicians and to Biden. Pulling out of a 20 year wat troops first, then incoherently mumbling about it incoherently after being dragged out of the basement to do so, People assume he intended to do that. Why do they assume tgat?
They are scheming with the media to avoid another “Nightline”, which was the daily reminder to the population that we had hostages in Iran. It sank the Carter presidency.
"Butterscotch pudding, then nap time."
Sooner or later, they will behead an American on video
Where is George W Bush on this issue? Crickets???
IMO, Biden understands everything. He and his family are in so deep and beholding to the Chinese, its now payback time to Russia and China. To make matters worse, if China has been proven to have tampered with the 2020 elections, it would be safe to say China ‘installed’ Biden into office. Much like other third world dictators. Again IMO
Absolutely everything.
He understands what he is doing . . . he’s not making the decisions. https://thenewamerican.com/joe-biden-on-creating-a-new-world-order/
Zito, you really think that BiteMe is running this 💩 show?!
Come on.
The right shoe goes on the right foot.. and the left shoe goes on the left foot?
What doesn’t he understand? Anything that makes sense.
What Biden doesn’t understand...
Life. Whattafool.
The sphincter with feet, Jao Bai Den, doesn’t know anything.
He is a puppet. So long as he can walk and mouth a few words, he will continue to be foisted or maybe inflicted is a better work, on us.
WHO is making the actual decisions? No one will say...is it Susan Rice? Some cabal of no names? WHO is it?
And why can we not know?
...word...
not work...WORD
sheesh
Hopefully choking on a pretzel.
