Debacle

 

There's no question that the fall of the US backed regime in Afghanistan is now officially a debacle. The White House is blaming Trump for this, but Trump didn't make these decisions for the last nearly 8 months.

These guys must be trying to relive the high that Bush got when 911 happened. At first they were saying "Bush let it happen". Once the approval numbers came out, and Bush was at 90% or thereabouts, they had to quiet down with that talk.

For the next nearly eight years, they subverted Bush so much that by the end of his presidency, his numbers had completely collapsed.

This stuff runs on politics. History didn't end when Bush left. But his work was at the mercy of others. Now Bush is going to have to pay the price for that. However, let's look more deeply into the chess board. Why did Biden act the way he did? He cannot credibly blame Trump for his own decisions. If he found fault with Trump's policy in Afghanistan, why didn't he change it? He had enough time. That was Biden's decision. He may be claiming that it was Trump's ideas, but if he was running the show himself, it was his own choices that led to this.

Biden and his handlers must believe that they can turn this to their advantage somehow. Otherwise, why do something that looks so bad? Even if he is able to shuffle some of the blame off on others, he still is accountable for what he did or didn't do himself. Trump has been gone for nearly 8 months now. You cannot blame him when he is not there.

The neo-cons come out of this badly, too. They've been undermining Trump all along. Trump was handling things just fine. Afghanistan wasn't in the hands of the Taliban when he left. If the neo-cons had been more helpful, Trump would still be there, and the Taliban would not have been. If Trump had been in the White House when this happened, then they could say that. But not now.

Nor can the neo-cons be happy about this. Unless the neo-cons really didn't care about keeping the Taliban out of power. But that is not how they have acted previously. It seemed like a pretty important deal to them at the time. So, in the light of this, are we to believe that Trump really caused this to happen, or was it Biden? Didn't Biden really double-cross the neo- cons?

And the neo-cons are going to have to join the commies so as to have the fallout not rain down upon themselves. That may "work" for them, but most people I would think, would see this for the total failure that it is. For that, the neo-cons deserve plenty of blame. They sided with the commies so as to get rid of Trump. Now they have egg on their faces, thanks to Biden. They might profit with their continuing support of this failure, or come to their senses and rejoin the sane world.
