Another Day, Another Lie

 Don't the people at the Biden White House get tired of telling lies?  Clearly the answer is NO!


Just look at Afghanistan.

Biden was warned by the military and intelligence forces that an American withdrawal of all troops would lead to a total collapse of the Afghan government and the takeover by the Taliban.  Biden told the American people there was essentially no chance the Taliban would take over.  That's a rather major lie.

Biden knew that the Taliban was killing women for not wearing burqas, killing men who were important cogs of the collapsed government, and killing people in the streets who were refusing to cooperate with the Taliban.  There are enough murders that pictures of these deaths have been scattered across some US newspapers.  Biden still said just two days ago that no one had died at the hands of the Taliban.  LIE!

Biden tried in June to get Russia to agree to the stationing of US forces in places surrounding Afghanistan that were parts of the old Soviet Union.  Someone still has to explain why the USA would ask Russia about the disposition of American forces in countries that are not part of Russia.  Nevertheless, Biden told Americans that there was no need for further American involvement with Afghanistan while he was trying to arrange just that.  LIE

There are many more lies on this topic.  Biden has squandered the trust of the American people.

Look, it doesn't take a military genius to realize that in a pull out, the USA should have removed its big weapons and equipment first, then American citizens, then embassy personnel and finally the military.  Biden chose to do all that in reverse by removing the military first with the result that the Taliban now have 1000's of potential American hostages with the USA having essentially no chance of retrieving them absent Taliban goodwill.  (Just writing Taliban goodwill makes me cringe.)

We need an honest assessment of the situation and a competent review of how best to get our people out.  Sadly, Biden doesn't seem up to producing either.
