B-Man Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 BIDEN’S DEFLECTION WON’T WORK Joe Biden’s speech today was a disgrace. He read briefly from a teleprompter, and took neither questions nor responsibility. It is reasonable to infer that his mental condition is such that he is not able to answer questions, or else his actions have been so indefensible that there is no answer to the questions that might be asked. It is a remarkable fact that in the last week, the Taliban has answered more questions from American media than President Biden. Biden pretended that he is being criticized for withdrawing from Afghanistan. This is a bad joke. I, for one, wrote years ago that we should wind up our involvement in that country. I did not suggest, however, that we should pull out precipitously, without evacuating civilians first, and suddenly deprive Afghan forces of air cover so that it would be difficult or impossible for them to fight effectively. Nor did I write that we should abandon our bases without even bothering to secure or at least destroy materiel that has now fallen into the hands of the Taliban. I did not advocate that we pull out our military personnel first and only worry about civilians later, nor did I suggest that we wait until the Taliban have encircled the Kabul airport before trying to get either Americans or friendly Afghans onto airplanes. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2021/08/bidens-deflection-wont-work.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The Optics of Walking Away By Scott Hounsell | Aug 17, 2021 4:30 PM ET In Afghanistan, President Biden has delivered the United States one of its greatest foreign policy disasters since Benghazi. After President Trump had offered to negotiate a withdrawal from Afghanistan with the Taliban, Joe Biden upped the ante by ordering a total withdrawal from the country without as much as a single condition for the Taliban, including a means by which the United States could maintain an embassy in their country. After several days of deafening silence from the Biden White House, the President returned from vacation for a few minutes to address the nation. Biden’s speech was everything you could have expected from Biden: The speech was filled with various finger-pointing at Trump, at the military, at the Afghan people, despite it ending ironically with a Truman-Esque “the buck stops here.” But yet, the symbolism that truly showed through at that presser was when Biden had to then turn his back on the cameras and walk away. Worse than that, he then walked outside to Marine One to head back on vacation. He didn’t take any questions. He didn’t act like a person who is in charge. He acted like he was checking a box. “Well, I addressed the country. Can I go back on vacation now?” In fact, Biden created more questions than answered them. Remember, just a few weeks ago, Biden said Afghanistan was not going to become a new Vietnam, and any withdrawal would not lead to Taliban control on the country. Biden didn’t only prove himself to be a fool on the matter just a few weeks later but reiterated during his speech that he had “no regrets” on his withdrawal plan. This is perhaps the most egregious thing said by Biden during the whole presser. The President of the United States, in an address that will be played on replay around the world, said in no uncertain terms that despite his direct action leading to a terrorist organization taking rule of a country, he had no regrets. We all know what the future of Afghanistan holds. It isn’t like the Taliban hasn’t already shown their vision for Afghanistan. It isn’t like the same people haven’t tried to assassinate women’s rights leaders or those who have assisted the American forces during the Afghan War. We already know what they plan to do to the country that we have spent 20 years, 2 trillion dollars, and thousands of American lives to create and Joe Biden was willing to throw all that out. Worse yet, even with the benefit of hindsight, he has no regret. Yet, despite these huge errors in judgment, Mr. “The Buck Stops Here” didn’t stick around after his presser to accept questions. The press, which has become increasingly critical of Biden’s handling on the matter, wasn’t allowed to ask the President a single question regarding the largest foreign policy embarrassment since Saigon. Instead of facing tough questions and instead of facing a few uncomfortable minutes of being held accountable, Biden turned his back and walked away. He turned his back on the military. He turned his back on the Embassy officials still on the ground. He turned his back on our allies who are still in the country. He turned his back on the Afghan people. He turned his back on the Gold Star Families, wounded veterans, and others who were lucky enough to return home. He turned his back on the local interpreters who saved countless American lives. It isn’t like the President doesn’t see the same images we see or isn’t terrified by the same video we are seeing. In fact, he probably has access to even more footage and data. Not so much as a plan, a promise, or a guarantee. Despite all these horrible results of his failure to plan, he has no regrets. The only thing that I can hope for is that enough of the people who voted for him do. Let’s hope they turn his back on him, too. https://redstate.com/scotthounsell/2021/08/17/the-optics-of-walking-away-n428195 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 The speech that shamed America: Its contemptible dishonesty would have made Donald Trump blush. how can Joe Biden ever recover? Daily Mail (UK), by Andrew Neil It was the most contemptible speech by a U.S. president in modern times — a speech that shames America and leaves its global reputation in the dirt.And given that, until last January, the White House was occupied for four years by a certain Donald J. Trump, there couldn’t be a more damning criticism of President Joe Biden. Much of his address to the U.S. on Monday was Orwellian. In his classic novel 1984, set in a totalitarian dystopia, George Orwell created a Ministry of Peace which waged war, a Ministry of Truth which peddled lies, a Ministry of Love which tortured dissidents and a Ministry of Plenty which oversaw starvation. Biden matched all of that and more with his own defiant doublethink, involving distortions, the rewriting of history, and nonsense and untruths that even Trump would struggle to rival. His abject surrender to the Taliban was dressed up as political reality and common sense. His scuttle from Kabul, still ongoing, was depicted as geopolitical wisdom and a refocusing of U.S. priorities. Any mistakes or problems were the fault of others, from Trump to the Afghan army. But make no mistake: the person overwhelmingly responsible for the appalling scenes currently unfolding on our TV screens is the man sitting in the Oval Office. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-9903067/The-speech-shamed-America-ANDREW-NEIL-asks-Joe-Biden-recover.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 No surprise. US omits Macron’s plea for ‘moral responsibility’ from record of Afghanistan call by Joan E Greve The White House’s readout of a call between Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron on the crisis in Afghanistan leaves out an impassioned plea from the French president that the US and its allies have a “moral responsibility” to evacuate Afghan allies. The French government’s readout of the conversation was released on Friday, a day after the call took place, and indicates that Macron emphasised ensuring the safe evacuation of Afghan citizens who assisted American and European troops over the past 20 years at great risk to themselves and their families. According to the readout, Macron described the mission to evacuate allies as a “moral responsibility” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/20/afghanistan-macron-biden-moral-responsibility-evacuate-allies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
