Heartbreaking to watch the desperation of people trying to get out of Afghanistan

Thousands of Afghans are trying desperately to avoid the wrath of the Taliban

But no peaceful manner to flee for them. Their safety wasn't a consideration here.

Biden No Longer Seen as the Steady Hand
August 17, 2021 at 6:37 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 53 Comments
Politico:
“The cataclysmic series of events over the last several days marked the most devastating period of the Biden presidency, and it comes at the precise moment when a growing number of Americans were already fearful of inflation and doubting Biden’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and the economy. Now, Biden’s credibility on the world stage is on the line.”

“It all adds up to a troubling political scenario for Democrats, who had held up their president as a seasoned international statesman, the ‘adult in the room’ who promised to reverse what they viewed as the reckless policies of Trump. Republicans are moving quickly to try and ensure the foreign policy blunder sticks, in an attempt to undermine one of Biden’s core political selling points — his steady hand — and to bludgeon down-ballot candidates in tough districts who believe the best way for their party to hold power is to pitch themselves as ‘Biden Democrats.’”

Punchbowl News:
“Biden has portrayed himself as a ‘wise old man’ on foreign policy for years, but this episode lays bare how difficult being commander-in-chief actually is. Playing president, or even campaigning for the job, is a far cry from being president.”

But the regular propaganda sources will start flowing again

New York Times: “The political impact of the chaos and possible bloodshed in Afghanistan is far from clear, either in the midterm congressional elections next year or the 2024 presidential election.”

“Once the images from Kabul this week fade from television screens, relief that the war is over — at least for U.S. troops — could be the dominant emotional outcome.”


This is wishful thinking. There's a long line of Biden fuck ups for the voter's to consider and they will likely decide he needs a check on his power.

And Biden cowardly address left an indelible impression on the American voter.

Just remember,
Trump said this should have happened sooner.


You have said that about times in various threads for the last few days and it doesn't mean a damn.

Trump would never let US forces be routed and run with it's tail between it's legs. Everybody including the Taliban knew this.

I'm clear in my answer. I will not repeat the mistakes we've made in the past. The mistake of staying and fighting indefinitely in a conflict that is not in the national interest of the United States.”
— President Biden


No. He just made a whole new set of mistakes and ensure American sons and daughters will be fighting in other endless wars.

Staying in Afghanistan may have been a foreseeable mistake. But the American people had no stomach for route that Biden ordered.
