After nearly a week of radio silence while the Taliban were undoing 20 years of American investment in Afghanistan, Joe Biden returned to the White House to read from a teleprompter for under 20 minutes. Given the predictable straw man he presented of an all-or-nothing binary choice between "forever war" and immediate abandonment, it was par for the course to see Biden try to blame his predecessor.
© Provided by Washington Examiner Biden's tactless defense consisted of impugning Afghans. It was followed by his hasty departure without taking a single question from a group of reporters he hand-picked under the guise of "social distancing." (Washington, D.C.'s total COVID-19 death toll this month: one.) This leaves only the ghastly conclusion Biden has no idea what the hell happened in the last week.
Biden will return to Camp David to vacation while Kabul burns. This ought to leave the Cabinet — especially Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who reportedly begged Biden not to initiate such a hasty and disorderly withdrawal — wondering whether the president is willfully derelict in his duty, choosing to summer instead of govern, or simply incapable of handling his office.
Today's press conference was Biden's opportunity to present proof of life. He failed.
The question baffling the world isn't why we left Afghanistan, but rather why we did so in the most incompetent and disastrous way possible. After 20 years of occupation, Americans were certainly amenable enough to leave, but whose idea was it to remove the military and leave our own equipment to the Taliban? To say nothing of U.S. citizens stranded? The public may not think much of foreign policy in the abstract, but people have a lot of sympathy for Afghans facing the prospect of Taliban rule. Even since Biden's April announcement,
there has been a 20-point drop in support for withdrawal. When asked over the weekend about
how Biden has handled Afghanistan,
not even one-quarter of voters approved.
We don't permit minimum wage workers, much less presidents, to bail on their jobs before 4 p.m. on a Monday. If the commander in chief cannot or will not do his job, the Cabinet should consider invoking the final section of the 25th Amendment and compelling Biden's removal from office, either by resignation or by force.
The issue is not just that Biden rejected every warning his strategy would maximize the pain wrought by his decision But after insisting on doing so, he couldn't show up for the job, much less take a single question from the reporters specifically sanctioned by his administration. His speech has surely left the public even less confident Biden even understands what is happening around him.
fiden will not resign -but I am not sure that teh devout marxist terrorist KumHoeLa would not be much worse - ideologically she is rigid marxist - and teh EO's to destroy represensative democracy will come flying.
she will precipitate Civil War - both through incompetence and her radical marxism./
Biden's appalling speech on Afghanistan merits a 25th Amendment discussion
