Media outlets across the political divide in the US and Britain have united in their condemnation over Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan crisis amid what is being billed the biggest foreign policy catastrophe in 65 years.
Even Left-wing outlets such as CNN and The New York Times that would traditionally back a Democrat president have hit out at Mr Biden for his role in allowing insurgents to take Kabul after routing Afghan forces in just a week.
The Wall Street Journal condemned Joe Biden’s statement ‘washing his hands’ of the situation, saying it should ‘go down as one of the most shameful in history by a Commander in Chief at such a moment of American retreat’.
Biden team surprised by rapid Taliban gains in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and other top U.S. officials have been stunned by the pace of the Taliban’s nearly complete takeover of Afghanistan, as the planned withdrawal of American forces urgently became a mission to ensure a safe evacuation.
The speed of the Afghan government’s collapse and the ensuing chaos posed the most serious test of Biden as commander in chief, and he was the subject of withering criticism from Republicans who said that he had failed.
Yes it’s ugly but leaving Afghanistan stands as the right thing to do.
There’s no denying that the withdrawal looks like a Hunter Biden choreographed crack-house horror show but it is impossible to make a case for the 20 years that were wasted.
Keep in mind that the Afghan’s bear some responsibility for their own security.
It’s as if corruption was a virus that infected everyone involved.
A lot of heads should roll, but they won’t.
