Biden’s “Imbecilic” Abandonment of Afghanistan

It was the best of America. It was the worst of America.

There I was, soaking up the sweeping magnificence of the American West last week - from Idaho to Wyoming to South Dakota - no cell service, nothing but natural breathtaking beauty, mile after gorgeous mile.

Then, I’d get back in the car and turn on satellite radio to hear the latest developments in the catastrophic atrocity taking place in Afghanistan, courtesy of that feckless buffoon in the White House.

Could we all stop pretending that Joe Biden is competent on any level? That he has any concept of what he is doing? That he is anything other than an unintelligent, stubborn man who is a tool of the far-left ideologues in his administration?

Of course America wants out of Afghanistan. But for this fool to order a reckless withdrawal of American troops from that hellhole without first evacuating civilians and Afghanis who were friends of our country is beyond “imbecilic.“ That was Tony Blair’s description of Biden’s Afghan abandonment, by the way. A perfect choice of words.

Worse, leaving behind billions of dollars worth of intact weaponry and aircraft for bloodthirsty terrorists bent on the destruction of the West was absolutely diabolical. Did you see the Taliban, mugging in American Army uniforms? Did it turn your stomach, too?

There was a plan in place to have an orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan in May. Biden sabotaged that deal for a photo op on September 11th. He wanted to portray himself as the man who ended our longest war. In his delusional state Biden still sees himself as some sort of war-ending hero.

In the pursuit of a vain political objective, Biden withdrew our military, closed a secure military air base and unleashed hell on Afghanistan. 

Now he’s turned around and sent thousands of soldiers back into harm’s way, all while pretending this was part of his grand plan.

Worse, Biden was ON VACATION when this went down. He had to be dragged back to Washington and plopped in front of the cameras to lie about what was going on across the world. 

The situation is absolutely nauseating. Add to that, a bizarre, tone-deaf presser on Covid booster shots in the middle of this mess? Another stroke of the Biden administration’s insanity.

On Wednesday night I sat in the open air amphitheater at Mt. Rushmore and joined in with 1,500 Americans singing the National Anthem as the park service illuminated the granite faces carved into that mountain

Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln.

As I gazed upon their towering images, I pondered their brilliance. Their unselfishness. Their lofty vision for our country.

And then I thought of what we have now.  I wanted to cry.
