Last week I said, “I think it’s still too early to decide whether the Afghanistan withdrawal will be an embarrassing disgrace or a full-on horror show.” Well that ship has sailed. ISIS has begun the suicide bombings and I have to assume that Biden will initiate a panicked rout of the remaining forces at the airport and then we’ll see the drumbeat of hostages and beheadings and whatever new horrors await us.
I guess there is the chance that this will be the Jimmy Carter scenario repeated for the 21st century. Well, it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy than Dementia Joe but of course the rest of us will have to go through the horror show too.
Update: 12 servicemen dead. Dozens of Afghanis dead and the prospect for more. I knew that Joe was a a dope. Now we know that his Defense Department is is led by imbeciles too. What a terrible waste of American lives. What part of summer Taliban fighting season escaped these morons?
The Iranian mullahs effectively ended Jimmy Carter as a power in America and the world with 52 hostages.
Imagine what the Taliban will do with thousands of hostages?
Imagine what the Taliban will do with all the weapons, ammunition, vehicles, etc. that Joe left behind.
Things are going to get a lot darker.
Biden’s DoD seems to be led by morons. With them in charge of the nuclear stockpile I hope we survive this whole thing.
Conservative Tree House has some video footage of Milley and Austin = Biden’s brainless trust.

Neil, as I mentioned in my later post, it almost seems like this was deliberate malpractice to punish the country for taking away their playground in Afghanistan.
