Dementia Joe was surprised at how quickly evil filled the void.  He is a disgrace and a senile old fool who has never been right on any major foreign policy issue....never.  But hey, they will bring him his oatmeal and suppository in the morning so it's all good and change his Depends diaper and wipe the drool off his mouth.  The Afghan interepreters being killed left and right are just too bad, not that he can even remember where he is from minute to minute. 

Here's my view on that third world sh!thole, let then go back to being 6th century savages.  But we ought to at least have taken care of those that assisted us in trying to bring them into modernity.  If I were another country I would never trust the U.S. ever again.

Coincidence that Biden was Senator during Saigon, VP during Benghazi and Pres during Kabul?  And he's on vaca during this atrocity.  Crickets from Archie and the Fish twins.  Oh, I take that back.   Archie remarked a few posts ago that we are in "fine shape" with Biden.  And lest we forget what Oblamer once stated...."never underestimate Joe's ability to eff things up".

I am sure the MSM will be all over this tomorrow.......sarc

This is so bad that Dementia has even lost cnnBS.  They had the SOS on and showed side by side pictures of the helicopter in Saigon and same in Afghanistan. Even they know this is all on our current President.  It's so bad that no one else wanted to be in the picture of him alone in the Situation Room at Camp David.  Kameltoe must be cackling like a hyena thinking about this being Joe's legacy.  Want to bet her staff starts to leak to the press she was opposed to this stupid move that is going to cost thousands of Afghan lives.  We could have left 2,500 U.S. and 5,000 UN troops in country along with air power and all it would take was a MOAB or two and the Taliban would have been contained to the tribal areas where they can live out their 6th century fantasy world of death and destruction.

I guess no one thought that perhaps we should close our embassy and remove the Americans before we withdrew the troops.  They could have set up an expedited VISA process for those Afghans that worked for us.  It's not like we haven't been talking about getting out of Afghanistan since Obama.  There was time to plan.  

I find it amazing that when the media is calling for Biden to speak to the American people, he continues to hide at Camp David, no doubt huddled with his advisors looking for a way to turn this into a Biden "victory".  But there isn't any way.  Biden cited his years of international relations "experience" when he ran - what a joke.

Joe Biden, Coward-in-Chief.  Probably huddled trying to figure out how to blame it on Trump.  If this is what he planned to do, there was plenty of time between Jan 20th and now to quietly get the Afghans out who were at risk because of their cooperation with the US, and to start reducing Embassy staff.  I didn't agree with much that Obama did but do agree with his assessment of Biden's ability to "screw" something up.

He blamed the Afghans.  Didn't offer any explanation for the chaos at the airport.  Just pounded his chest and said he stands by his decision to withdraw.  Well, I don't think anyone thinks we should withdraw, but the methods doesn't make us look like the greatest country in the world.  It looks like Amateur hour.  

Seems that the party line is going to be "blame the Afghans" because that was echoed by the State Department and the Pentagon.

They are trying to make this about the decision to withdraw.  No one disagrees that we needed to eventually extract ourselves from Afghanistan.  We did what we could for them and at some point they needed to stand or fall on their own.  

What people do object to is the completely incompetent, irrational and evil way this was done.  That it became a Siagon moment is entirely on Dementia Joe's shoulders.  That tens of thousands of Afghans that worked with the U.S. will die a horrible death is a stain on this man's soul and a perfect reason why no country should ever trust us again.  For him to blame Trump is breathtakingly cynical.  This guy has reversed pretty much every one of Trump accomplishment in the last 7 months with great fanfare but for some reason this one was set in stone?!?!?!?  No one with half a brain for one second believes that, including Jake Tapper at cnnBS.....but probably not our favorite left wing nuts.

I once wrote a post that we needed to party like it was 1975.  I said so half in jest but I am now thinking it is actually coming true.  We went from energy independence and low gas prices to $4 gas and begging OPEC for more oil.  We went from no inflation to massive inflation wiping out all the wage gains of the last several years.  We went from low illegal migration to a disaster at the southern border.  I coul go on but even I didn't think it was possible to make me look back on Carter with fond memories.
