CBS this morning: "Biden's Afghan Crisis"
Major Garrett (major POS 💩 actually) practically frothing at the mouth:
Two things happened to the President this week. His use of experience: I am the most experienced, I can handle this, Ive seen these things before, I know how to manage
that has been deeply damaged. 🙄
Also, his competencewhich was reinforced by the distribution of the vaccine in the early days of his administrationhas been severely undermined. And dont take my word for it.
I talk to Democrats on Capitol Hill. (Hmmm wonder who
) They believe this has happened. And once those cracks in that veneer are there they are very hard to repair.
So the president who says Im experienced. Ive been Afghanistan so many times didnt predict, didnt foresee, didnt plan for this kind of scenario when many people inside and outside of the administration were at least warning it was possible
.
And the country has to wrap its head around this
right now, in order for Americans to leave Afghanistan they can only do so with the permission and the sufferance of the Taliban. 🙄
Question(?) by Tony Dicopola; So the president has yet to acknowledge any error of judgment when it comes to this pullout in Afghanistan
🙄
Garrett: The president does one thing over and over and over. I made a bold decision
an American president was going to make that decision. Im the one who made it. Fair enough. Its a tough decision. You own every consequence of every decision.
And Ive covered a lot of Presidents. Unexpected and tragic things happen and you have to be prepared on the fly to deal with them. But when you circle a date on the calendar in a battle space like Afghanistan you own every worst-case scenario. If you dont plan for them youll be doubly condemned by history for not planning adequately for it.
🙄
Biden and Pelosi are case studies for the argument against term limits.
Bidens experience makes him especially adept at wading through the DC cesspool.
Kudos to them both.
America is blessed to have them.
MACA: Make America (have) Covid Again!
That was the plan all along.
RepubliQkkkan extremists thrive on chaos just like the virus.
