Shop NowJoe Biden is not happy with the “long-awaited GOP report analyzing the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan” released by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Republicans, he insists, are blaming him for something Donald Trump forced him into. That’s the best defense he can come up with for a total failure to plan what needed to be done. It’s also not true. “Fumbling preparations that set the stage for a chaotic and deadly exit from America’s longest war” was his fault, with Antony Blinken’s help.
Biden botched withdrawal
Joe Biden and Antony Blinken are blaming their failure to plan an exit from Afghanistan on the previous administration. It’s true that Donald Trump made a deal to pull American forces out of the country by May 2021. If he had won in an honest election, he would have met that deadline without the confusion.
Joe’s handlers never even tried to figure out a workable plan. They were too afraid of the “optics” and it crippled them into doing nothing until after the last minute.
Biden and Blinky, the report states, were totally responsible for “a rushed effort undertaken regardless of counsel from allies and advisers that led to unnecessary deaths.”
The evidence proves Joe’s “decision to withdraw all U.S. troops was not based on the security situation, the Doha Agreement, or the advice of his senior national security advisors or our allies.” Joe just wanted to get out, fast, and left the details to the ones telling him what to do.
It was that mean Donald Trump who “brokered the deal to leave Afghanistan, initially agreeing to have the U.S. withdraw all its forces by May 2021.” Joe didn’t bug out until August.
He didn’t bother to save any of our allies from the Taliban because “under Trump, immigration processing slowed to a crawl, including for those eligible for Special Immigrant Visas, the multistep pathway for those who assisted the U.S. military or contractors to come to the U.S.” That’s a load of nitrogen rich fertilizer. Biden waved his magic pen to grant “parole” to gangsters and terrorists. He could have made an exemption for our friends. Nobody was ordered to do it.
Ignored the warnings
Everyone in the military and intelligence communities were warning the White House that Kabul would be in Taliban hands a lot sooner than the administration was projecting. They were right. The report accuses Biden of “failing to see warning signs of how quickly Kabul would fall to the Taliban and delaying the planning for and calling of an evacuation.” Republicans have a valid point so Democrats are attacking the one who made it public.
“Everything we have seen and heard of Chairman McCaul’s latest partisan report shows that it is based on cherry-picked facts, inaccurate characterizations, and pre-existing biases that have plagued this investigation from the start.”
Evacuating a military base is called “a noncombatant evacuation operation, or NEO.” Joe’s handlers had a “concern that a NEO equated to failure.” Biden was also “more concerned about the optics of NEO than the dangers associated with failing to call” for one.
The military wanted plans for an evacuation and the State Department didn’t make any. Blinky “delayed plans to launch an evacuation, in part because of fears such plans could spark further chaos in the country.”
“This inexcusable delay was exacerbated by the department’s failure to formulate an emergency evacuation plan. The magnitude of the evacuation necessary became untenable, and departmental inaction condemned thousands of Afghan allies and Americans to a life under Taliban rule.”
Thanks to Joe Biden and his failure to plan, “an estimated 100,000 partners of U.S. government efforts were left behind.” Dramatic images “were seen of people falling as they sought to hang on to planes exiting the country.“
