The scenes out of Afghanistan are infuriating and tragically predictable.
It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that President Biden and the geniuses surrounding him have made such an almighty hash of the withdrawal from that godforsaken country.
Look at everything else he has messed up.
His first act in office was to dismantle hard-won Trump-era border protection measures. The inevitable illegal migrant surge at the southern border has turned into an unchecked invasion, with national security and public health risks that will ricochet through history.
At this stage, we can confidently say that Joe Biden has the reverse Midas touch.
In Afghanistan, it didn’t have to be like this.
The humiliating scenes of Americans evacuating from Kabul’s airport were avoidable, as is the specter of American helicopters, planes, Humvees, weapons and ammunition in the hands of our enemies.
But Biden was caught unawares.
Then he had the gall on Saturday to blame President Donald Trump: “When I came to office, I inherited a deal cut by my predecessor.” see also President Joe Biden's administration has bungled the withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is Joe Biden’s Jimmy Carter moment
Since Secretary of State Antony Blinken doubled down over the weekend on this dishonest spin, it’s time for some home truths.
I asked Trump Sunday about the plan his administration had to get out of Afghanistan —which ultimately was obstructed by the same US generals who gave Biden a green light.

I spent a year there as a US Army Infantryman - all for nothing and we’ll just have to fight these scum again. Biden is such a moron he makes Jimmy Carter look like a genius. Makes me very angry at these idiots.
And every Never-Trumper Repuke!
Ending a politically unpopular war should have been a slam dunk triumph. Obama was right. Leave it to Joe Biden to fubar anything he does.
“Joe Biden’s defeat will echo for eternity”
LOL...She must have been watching the movie “Gladiator” like I was the other night where Maximus says “What we do in life will echo for eternity”
Biden went down without even a mean tweet.
Many of us here have said their incompetence will be on full display once tested. And here we are.
At least there are no more mean tweets
Article states Biden has the reverse Midas touch, I’ve said this about Obama before but BIDEN is outdoing Obama even.
It is a sad thing that so many Americans are so ignorant that they would vote for a senile corrupt retarded pedophile. It is tragic that our so-called educated Americans can be so stupid.
Did they identify with Joe’s corruption or with his stupidity? Or are they pedophiles themselves?
Corporate media lied for 5 years for this moment.
