Barrack Obama reportedly said, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f- something up.”

Well, Joe Biden has f-ed this Afghanistan thing up beyond all belief. You don’t think so? Let’s just listen to some of his speech on Monday.

 

The Speech

joe Biden f-up the Afghanistan thing. He decided to have a speech during his vacation. It was a really bad speech. Let’s just get to it.

The speech started very badly:

Question: Did you guys really take into considerations all contingencies? Like the contingency o the Taliban taking over the country so quickly? Executing your plan? What plan are you executing?

• Actually, under George Bush, it was suppose to build the Afghan nation so that it could run itself while fighting the tyranny of the Taliban.
• The goal was to end Al Qaeda and not to give them a country in which to train. He just reopened that possibility.

• You knew this was coming. It’s Trump’s fault.
• The deal Trump worked on was conditional and was actually null because the Taliban never followed through on any of their conditions.
• Trump had nothing to do with the pull out or the planning.
• Both Obama and Trump wanted to pull the troops out but neither went against their advisors.
• With just 2500 troops, mostly for support, the Taliban was not fighting.
• He also blamed the government for not wanting to pull out earlier.
• He also blamed the Afghan army for not defending their country:
  • They did defend their country. 50,000 Afghan soldiers died over the last 7 years fighting the Taliban.
  • Biden pulled all the support including intelligence, ground and air support and maintenance of air and ground vehicles. How were they suppose to fight.
• He blamed everyone except himself and the Taliban.

Here’s the thing, Biden is answering the question not asked. There is debate over pulling people out of Afghanistan. Seventy percent of the people in the country think we should have pulled out. What we want to know is why this was screwed up so badly and what is he going to do about it. Not only does he not answer that question but he pats himself on the back and proclaimed how brave he is to pull out.

This is right. He is justifying pulling the soldiers out. No one is asking for this justification. So like the idea, some don’t. But, again, this does not answer how the pull out got so screwed up.

• They have not safely done anything. There are an estimated 10,000 Americans still in Afghanistan. More on that later.
• The airport is a disaster:
  • People were blocking the planes from taking off.
  • People are holding on to the planes as they take off. There is a horrifying picture of this.
  • Shots are being fired.
• Consolidating the diplomatic force at the airport means they retreated to the airport. Helicopters were flying to and from the embassy, carrying diplomats.
• For something that had nothing to do with the retreat from Saigon it sure looks like the retreat from Saigon.

It was a very weak speech that answered no questions and offered no plans to fix this mess. After, he walked away, without answering one question, got on Air Force One and went back on vacation at Camp David. He’s suppose to be back at the White House today.

What’s Really Happening

 

This whole thing is turning out to be a disaster and it’s far from over yet:

• There are 10,000 U.S. citizens in Afghanistan. The State Department said they couldn’t guarantee their safety and told those people to stay indoors.
• The Defense Department admits that billions of dollars of military equipment including helicopters and drones have fallen into Taliban hands.
• The Taliban has implemented Sharia Law.
• The Taliban is going door-to-door and searching for anyone who was in line with the United States, beating them and killing them.
• They are beating, raping and forcing marriages of women and girls.
• Any woman in a government job is being replaced by male family members.
• Women are being killed for not wearing a burque.
• This morning, the Taliban, for some reason, started shooting into a crowd, killing several.
• Any pictures of women in the streets are being painted over.
• Schools are being shut down.
• Stores are being looted and homes are being broken into.
• Checkpoints have been set up around the airport and cars are being searched. Any Afghan trying to get to the airport is being arrested.
• The airports have been over run by Afghans trying to escape. They are holding on to the outside of the C-17 planes as they are taking off. There is video of people falling to their deaths while the planes are in the air.

With all this, what is the Biden administration promising to do? Write a strong letter condemning the Taliban’s human rights violations. I’m not kidding. Whenever someone asks someone from the Biden administration about what is going to happen if abuses are recorded, they say nothing.

Great leadership.

The International Impact

This is not just a problem for the United States in Afghanistan. This is a problem for the United States from around the world. Our government has been shown to be weak, our enemies have been emboldened and our allies are worried that we may not have their backs. This disaster is going to have sever impact on us for years to come.

• China is openly threatening Taiwan now and saying that the United States will do nothing for them. They are running live fire military drills off the coast of Taiwan.
• China, Russia, Pakistan and India are all negotiating with the Taliban. This is a big reason the Taliban doesn’t give a damn about demands from the United States.
• Pakistan has closed their air bases to the United States. So now we have no close air access to Afghanistan.
• Iran is also becoming emboldened.
  • They are about to have weapons grade plutonium for a nuclear weapon.
  • Iran is sending missiles into Lebanon.
  • They have increased their presence in the war in Yemen.
• Britain has released a statement condemning the Biden administrations actions.

 

The Media

The media has been pretty bad on this. some of there reporting mimics that of the riots of last summer:

That’s right. Mostly peaceful. Here’s a better one. These folks are actually yelling “Death to America” but doing it with a friendly tone:

Her reporting is “utterly bazaar”. I wonder how friendly they would be if she took off that burqa?

Other things the media is doing that is disgusting:

• They continue to blame Trump for all this.
• MSNBC is pushing the Biden narrative that the Taliban has become normalized. They keep playing video from the Taliban PR wing.
• Twitter, who is still banning Trump, has allowed the Taliban propaganda wing to have an account.
• Several news and “entertainment” shows like Stephen Colbert are comparing Republicans to the Taliban.
