It's Truly Crazy

In March of 2020, the USA made an agreement that it would withdraw from Afghanistan in one year provided that the Taliban met certain conditions.  The main condition was for the Taliban to reach a peace deal with the Afghan government. That was the so called Trump deal for a US withdrawal.  The Taliban never even made a serious effort to reach an agreement with the Afghan government.  In other words, that 2020 deal was of no consequence.

I point this out because Old Joe Biden once again yesterday said that we had to withdraw because he was bound by the deal Trump reached.  It's truly crazy BS coming from the president.  Consider this:

1.  Biden claims to have been bound by the Trump deal, but he unilaterally changed that deal from a March withdrawal to a September withdrawal.  Clearly, Biden didn't feel bound when he delayed the withdrawal by six months.

2.  There was no treaty; it was just a deal negotiated by the Trump administration.  Biden, as president, had full authority to withdraw from the deal at any time.  The Trump deal had no legally binding effect.

3.  After blaming Trump for the withdrawal, Biden actually claimed credit for it.  Even at his level of senility, Biden should understand that you can't blame someone else for something and then take credit for the same thing.

All Biden had to do was to insist on proper planning for the withdrawal.  First the military equipment should have come out, then the civilians, then the embassy staff and LASTLY the military.  Biden authorized withdrawal of all US forces before the civilians, before the embassy staff and before removing the equipment.  The Taliban now have one of the largest armored forces in the world since they took over hundreds of American made tanks in Afghanistan.  The Taliban now has helicopters.  They have all manner of weapons that will strengthen them for years to come.  The Taliban now have ready made American hostages in the hundreds of US citizens (maybe thousands) that Biden stranded in Afghanistan.

It's hard for me to remember anything this bad ever done by an American president.

In less than two weeks we will see the anniversary of 9-11.  We all remember Benghazi which was a terrorist attack on the US consulate there on 9-11.  At that time, the Obama-Biden administration had no forces on alert to respond to such an attack.  As a result, Americans died at the hands of the terrorists eight hours after the attacks began and many hours after a force could have been sent to stop the attacks.  Let's hope that Biden is at least preparing for this anniversary.  I doubt he is.  Time will tell.
