Incoming. (In) Joe Biden (Joe Biden) came quickly and fiercely.
So that when I started this article, the suddenly embattled president was speaking to the whole country. He shortened his Camp David “vacation” simply because his government was at least “smart” to finally realize that they are best to do it. They damn it trying to stop the bleeding—as soon as possible.
them – he -Will not succeed.
It’s not just conservatives who continue to criticize the unfortunate Biden’s disastrous decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan — not because he withdrew them, but because How did he do that.
When even CNN’s Jack Taper Decide to “news” for a minute, and let a senior Biden official-the equally sad Secretary of State Anthony Brinken-take charge of “Biden’s Saigon”?
Yes, Houston, “we” have a problem.
This is a bad image for the Biden administration and highlights the severity of the local humanitarian crisis. The President of the United States is nowhere to be found, which is unreasonable.

The editorial boards of major American newspapers began to take action on Monday, severely criticizing Biden in one harsh editorial after another, especially the editors of The Wall Street Journal.
Before we continue, this:
As I was writing, I was listening to Biden’s sad speech to the country. my God. Honestly, he didn’t understand. Leaving aside his dislike of accusing “my ex” again, he continues to ignore the very simple difference between the two. Leave Afghanistan and How do we leave Afghanistan. He just concluded his sad comment-he said zero to men, women and children in Afghanistan, mainly young girls. He is defensive. He sucked.
Big and terrible.
Yes, Biden really took a minute and a half to blame Trump for his disaster in Afghanistan in his first public speech.

In any case, as I said, The Wall Street Journal’s attack on Biden in its editorial is particularly cruel and accurate. Biden’s Afghanistan surrenders -The president tried to avoid a catastrophic exit, As I wrote, this is exactly what he did in the address that ended a few minutes ago-again.
An excerpt from the Wall Street Journal editorial:
President Biden’s statement to wash his hands in Afghanistan on Saturday should be listed as one of the most shameful moments in history for the commander-in-chief to retreat in the United States.
As the Taliban approached Kabul, Mr. Biden issued a confirmation letter of waiver by the United States, exempting himself from responsibility, shifting the responsibility to his predecessor, and more or less inviting the Taliban to take over the country.
With this surrender statement, the final resistance of the Afghan army collapsed. Taliban militants occupied Kabul, President Ashraf Ghani fled the country, and the United States tried frantically to evacuate the Americans.
The jihadists who were overthrown in the United States for sheltering Osama bin Laden 20 years ago will now fly their flags over the U.S. Embassy building on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
Mr. Biden’s self-defense on Saturday reflected his righteous and dishonest behavior. [Again, exactly what he did just moments ago.]
“If the Afghan army cannot or will not control its own country, the U.S. military presence for another year or five will not have any impact,” Mr. Biden said.
But the Afghans are willing to fight and suffer casualties with the support of the United States and its NATO allies, especially air power. Thousands of soldiers and contractors could have done the job and prevented this defeat.
worse? Biden continued to work hard to blame Donald Trump.
To make matters worse, he tried to blame his decision on Mr. Trump: “When I took office, I inherited an agreement cut by my predecessor-he invited the Taliban to discuss it at Camp David on the eve of September 11, 2019. -Putting the Taliban in the strongest military position since 2001, and setting a deadline for the US military on May 1, 2021. Shortly before his departure, he also reduced the number of US troops to a minimum of 2,500.
“So when I became president, I was faced with a choice-continue to implement the agreement, postpone briefly to allow our troops and our allies to evacuate safely, or strengthen our presence and send more American troops to another. The country’s civil war.”
Nonsense, as I wrote elsewhere before. Biden certainly has no objection to his “predecessor” regarding the “deal” regarding the enforcement of immigration laws and border security, does he? Or Trump’s decision during the entire COVID pandemic. Sorry, Joe, that duck doesn’t hunt, as they say, no matter who “they” is.
The Wall Street Journal also pointed out that Biden’s criticism of Donald Trump is more severe than that of “Tollybahn.”
What different approaches does the board think Biden can take?
Mr. Biden could have maintained the moderate presence of his military and foreign policy advisers. He could have decided to withdraw his troops, but he did so based on local conditions while preparing a transition and air support plan for the Afghans.
Instead, he ordered a rapid and full withdrawal at the beginning of the annual fighting season, in time for the symbolic 9/11 target date. At that time, most American media praised his brave decision.
The result just four months later was the worst humiliation for the United States since the fall of Saigon in 1975.
The Taliban expressed their hope for a “peaceful transfer of power” in Kabul, but the scene still reminds people of the failure of the United States. Scrambling to destroy confidential documents. Evacuate the helicopter of the American diplomat. Deliver valuable U.S. military equipment to the Taliban.
“The worst thing,” the editors wrote, “is the plight of the Afghans who have helped the United States for more than two decades.”
“Around the League”, to borrow some sports terminology, here are some excerpts from the editorials of several other major newspapers today.
The editors wrote that what was happening was “extremely tragic.” After “more than 2 trillion US dollars and at least 2,448 American soldiers lost their lives in Afghanistan, it is difficult to see what has been achieved that is of lasting significance. There is no need to end with such chaos. For people who made such a huge sacrifice, they didn’t think deeply.”
Since the fall of Kabul, the “Washington Post” has not published any editorials, but last week the editorial board pointed out that the United States “is at a deadlock, not defeated” in its 20-year war. “There is a difference – and how likely the difference is to become tragic soon.” […] “The destruction or loss of Afghans’ lives will belong to Mr. Biden’s legacy, just like any dollars and lives that his decision might save.”
In April, [Biden] “It could have been further downsized on the condition of the sincere efforts of the Taliban to reach a peaceful settlement with Kabul,” but he set a clear deadline for withdrawal in September. […]
“[H]His hands may have been stained with the blood of American friends and freedom activists, not only because he decided to withdraw so quickly, but also because he failed to perform this task before the Taliban’s aggression changed everything. “
So where do we (Biden) find ourselves (himself)?
Retaliation would be terrible-despite the Taliban (sorry, Joe: “Tollybahn”) protesting to the contrary. First, innocent boys, girls, and children who are regarded by Islamists as cooperating with the United States will face indescribable atrocities.To make matters worse, the general public will also face atrocities, because the Taliban methodically teach the people Never do this again.
At the same time, the spineless Joe Biden continues to blame Donald Trump, ignoring the simple reality of leaving and the question of how we leave always being separated, and reminding us that he does not regret it and will do it again-not once suggested that he maybe There should be a systematic plan, including not being in the middle of the fighting season.
It doesn’t have to be.
