Links and videos on the fall of Afghanistan
This costly foreign policy debacle can and should be laid squarely at the feet of the Biden administration. They have obfuscated and dawdled and flapped their botoxed lips, but have done nothing substantive to ensure an orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Patriot Retort
For crying out loud, back in early July the US military bugged out of Bagram air base without so much as a “Hey you guys, we’ll be leaving tomorrow.” Hell, they didn’t even tell the Afghan soldiers patrolling the perimeter of the base that they were leaving. Instead, they just up and left. Once they got to the airport in Kabul, they called to let them know they were gone.
Who does that?!
Patriot Retort
In an appearance on CNN’s Sunday show “State of the Union” on April 25, host Dana Bash asked Key Role Kamala if she was the “last person in the room” when President Biden made the decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan by September 11. And, inexperienced dope that she is, Kamala boasted that, yes, she was indeed!
Hey, you break it, you buy it, Kammy.
What makes this bit of boasting especially funny is that back in January 2019, Kamala was on Rachel Maddow’s show blasting President Trump for considering a withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling Trump’s actions “irresponsible.”

Trump shreds Biden for ignoring plan in Afghanistan
Vivek Saxena, Aug 15, 2021, BizPacReview
“After I took out ISIS, I established a credible deterrent. That deterrent is now gone. The Taliban no longer has fear or respect for America, or America’s power. What a disgrace it will be when the Taliban raises their flag over America’s Embassy in Kabul. This is complete failure through weakness, incompetence, and total strategy coherence.”

The President is to be commended for the clarity of purpose of his statement on Afghanistan and his action. The Taliban must know the world is watching its actions. We are concerned about reports regarding the Taliban’s brutal treatment of all Afghans, especially women and girls.
