Out to Lunch
Without a doubt, our Nation is being led by a diminished President who is clearly out to lunch, out of touch, by all measures, out of it. An aging curmudgeon exhibiting possible signs of dementia and cognitive failure, Joe spent one of the most humiliating weekends in United States foreign policy history holed up in Camp David like a trappist monk. All the while his spokespeople blamed Trump for the chaotic debacle in Afghanistan. Someone tell these clowns that Biden has been President for seven months. He’s responsible for the current foreign and domestic chaos.
The current Afghani hot mess is so sad, so embarrassing and is completely the result of partisan planning by Joe’s Beltway Bozo advisors. Of course, they leaned on General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for sagacious counsel on the military’s role in organizing the American withdrawal. On July 21, 2021, Milley stated, “The Afghan Security Forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country…” Obviously, the country’s top military leader Milley had no idea what he was talking about, just like the current Commander in Chief. Milley’s thinking is straight from the General George Armstrong Custer school of military tactics and leadership.
The response from these tactical geniuses is the deployment of more American troops to Kabul than were originally in place before the hasty ill planned withdrawal. They will aid in the evacuation of our citizens and those who worked with us. Thousands of Americans, beyond embassy personnel, are stuck outside of the airport. There is verifiable information that thousands of ISIS terrorists have been released by the Taliban from Bagram Air Base prison. Pretty sure that these thugs are no fans of the United States military. Already reports of gunfire and conflict at the airport have occurred. Afghanis are rushing planes, hanging on to them and in some cases falling to their deaths as the C-17s take off. The televised scenes are heartbreaking. Hope Joe saw that. Maybe someone should tell Jill Biden about it so she can have Joe watch. His pals in the media can’t edit this tragedy.
Forgotten in all this mess is how the Biden regime has managed to destroy 20 years of work in advancing women's rights in Afghanistan, nearly overnight. Former President George W. Bush opined that he was deeply concerned about their fate. Under stone age Taliban rule young Afghan women will be abused, married off to soldiers and cloistered in their homes, unable go out without male supervision. Where is the outcry from all the “me too” progressive women’s rights warriors? Anyone heard from Vice President Kamala Harris, Senator Elizabeth Warren?
Our allies are dumbfounded by this dunderhead President. Tobias Ellwood, who chairs the Defense Committee in the British Parliament, citing Biden's foreign policy promise to rebuild alliances and restore U.S. prestige stated the following. "Whatever happened to 'America is back'? People are bewildered that after two decades of this big, high-tech power intervening, they are withdrawing and effectively handing the country back to the people we went into defeat. This is the irony. How can you say America is back when we're being defeated by an insurgency armed with no more than rocket-propelled grenades, land mines and AK-47s?". An army of 4th century goat herders.
Apparently, after a lot of pressure Joe ended his Camp David retreat and read his views on the situation to the Nation from the White House teleprompter. He blamed Trump and others for the withdrawal debacle. He misrepresented the deal he allegedly inherited from the previous administration but stuck to his decision to leave Afghanistan. His speech was defensive in tone and said the “buck stops with me”. Nevertheless, Joe blamed everybody but the Taliban and issued a stern warning to them not to interfere with our evacuation activities. Everyone on the planet knows there’s nothing the Taliban fears more than a stern warning. He then left to continue to his holiday at Camp David, refusing to take questions from the press.
The April 16th Wall Street Journal Editorial page contained the following sentence regarding Joe’s handling of the crises that struck a chord. “It’s as if Winston Churchill, with his troops surrounded at Dunkirk, had declared that Neville Chamberlain got him into this mess and the British had already fought too many wars on the Continent.” Joe has spent seven months flagrantly reversing one Trump foreign and domestic policy after another, and now claims the Afghanistan policy is the One he could do nothing about. What a load of bullschiff!
In seven months, Biden’s various policies have helped the Taliban, destroyed border security, and killed the American energy industry. What has he done that hasn’t bombed? Last week Joe begged OPEC to produce more oil for price relief at the gas pump. Tragically there is no prospect of any improvement during the next three and a half years of this regime, for America. There is no doubt that this is worst administration since Warren G. Harding and the Teapot Dome scandal. Look it up.
Former Secretary of Defense under Obama, Robert Gates stated that Joe Biden hasn’t been right about foreign policy for 50 years. On July 8th Joe said the following when asked if Kabul could fall like Saigon did in 1975. “The Taliban is not the south — the North Vietnamese army. They’re not — they’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy in the — of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable.” This would be a classic example of Biden malarkey.
President Trump never begged. Never equivocated. He made us energy independent. He secured the border. Our allies may not have liked him, but his resolve was respected. The Taliban and other enemies knew better than to mess with him. That’s a documented fact. Just ask the dead ISIS fighters in Syria or Iran’s top General, Soleimani who was taken out by a drone attack and got to meet his virgins.
Joe Biden is out to lunch, out of touch, out of it, and America is worse for it. He is unfit to be the 46th President.
