Good day all. The Biden Bug Out from Afghanistan is ranking with the Fall of Saigon for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The major difference between the two is that we didn\u2019t leave thousands of Americans behind in Vietnam. (There may have been some POW\u2019s that were abandoned)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since then the Biden Maladministration has been blaming everyone else for their own incompetence, starting with the Greatest President of the 21st<\/sup> Century, Donald Trump. None of this has stuck, so now they are trying to blame something else. Here are the details from Frontpage Mag<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Since the disastrous retreat from Afghanistan, everyone has been pointing fingers. The Biden administration blamed Trump. The military, somewhat rightly, blamed the State Department for having no evac plan while insisting on maintaining a massive diplomatic facility in what would soon be enemy territory. (Although the military had its own role in this disaster.) <\/b><\/p>\n

One thing about Progressives, the buck is always passed on. The last thing anyone will do is accept the blame for their own incompetence. It\u2019s always someone else\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

The State Department has refused to cooperate with the Afghanistan watchdog, <\/b><\/p>\n

No surprise there. The Blinken State Department has to be one of the more incompetently run ones in a long time, surpassing Felonia von Pantsuit\u2019s reign of error as Secretary of State.<\/p>\n

but has issued its own report<\/a> blaming, among other things, the pandemic. <\/b><\/p>\n

Among contributing factors to the chaotic and violent withdrawal, the report found, were that the State Department wasn\u2019t best prepared for the collapse of the Afghan government, \u201cprolonged gaps in filling\u201d senior positions overseas and difficulties staffing and running the department\u2019s in-person crisis response due to the coronavirus pandemic. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a major load of manure. In fact, this is such a huge pile, you will be able to fertilize the entire Middle East.<\/p>\n

The State Department wasn\u2019t prepared because it chose not to be. It failed to address the reality of the situation because it was politically inconvenient. Its failure to properly staff positions is also a disaster of its own making, including the absurdity of letting key personnel meant to deal with a crisis work remotely, but it\u2019s already been documented that State Dept personnel refused to consider an evacuation during in-person meetings including with military brass. <\/b><\/p>\n

Would you care to hazard a guess what would have happened to those whiny State Department crybabies had they pulled this under Secretary of State Pompeo?<\/p>\n
