President Biden owns the Afghanistan debacle, and history will blame him for it
I'm too sick for words to see the images streaming out of Afghanistan as the Taliban complete their conquest of that country, and complete America's humiliation there. It need not have happened. All it needed was a modicum of spine in our President, to withdraw the right way and ensure that he left behind the conditions for a peaceful transition - but no, that was too much trouble, and he (or, rather, his handlers) wanted to concentrate on domestic politics. The result we see before us. Click the image below to watch the video on Twitter. You want something even more horri... read more
