Biden, the politician who ran on nation-building and an Afghan surge in 2007, has been lying and claiming that he was opposed to them from the first.
The withdrawal began with Biden claiming credit for finally making the decision to end the war, only to pivot to blaming President Trump when his withdrawal went wrong.
Biden began his withdrawal by claiming that the Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan had been defeated and there was no further need for a military presence.
Now he has pivoted over to arguing that he has to abandon thousands of Americans behind Taliban lines because the threat from ISIS-K, a local ISIS affiliate is too great.
A threat so great that 6,000 American military personnel can’t stand up to it, and that requires abandoning unknown numbers of Americans.
Biden has spent the retreat talking out of both sides of his mouth. But his rationale for abandoning Americans is particularly egregious.
The same totalitarian who militarized Washington D.C. and kicked off an extended military occupation of the capital to deal with an imaginary threat to his own person refuses to protect the Americans he betrayed and left in harm’s way.
The ISIS-K threat is so great that Biden just has to leave Americans in their hands.
roberta says
Who here ever heard of isis-k before yesterday morning? Isis yeah, but isis-k was a new one for me.
And now they are the worlds largest terror threat ever, just instant like.
OLD GUY says
You think they are a bigger threat than Trump, Wal-Mart men and women? Maybe the K stands for K-Mart.

Grimly amusing, OLD GUY.
Wellington says
Just as I am utterly sick of Islam, so am I utterly sick of Biden. He disgusts me. He’s a liar, an incompetent, and a professional politician of almost half a century who has accomplished virtually nothing though he has done much harm, particularly over the last seven months. He’s a waste of space.
Ray Jarman says
It is dereliction of duty to say the least. While Biden panders to the Taliban, Harris talks about Christmas toys and Pelosi refuses to reconvene Congress, soldiers die and thousands of American citizens are left to their own wits to leave Afghanistan.
Since our great founders could not have imagined such a bunch of cowards running the nation, our constitution provides no way to fix the problem that exists today. Not even as late as the 25th Amendment which addresses the succession of the presidency did anyone think that the United States would be in a situation where there is no way to remedy this calamity that exist today from Biden to the President Pro-tempt. God, please help America.
Wellington says
Yes, Ray Jarman, the Founders of America did not, understandably, anticipate a time when we would be governed overwhelmingly by buffoons and cowards since they were not buffoons or cowards.
The Founders anticipated a great deal, even the possibility of a tyrant arising who would in demagogue fashion appeal to the people at large and which is one of three good reasons why the Electoral College was instituted by the Founders (N.B., the other two reasons are because the Electoral College makes the entire nation count and it lessens the likelihood of cheating at the ballot box, though the Democratic Party got around this last “concern” in the 2020 election). But the Founders did not anticipate the “buffoon factor” and the “cowardice factor” but, in their defense, they could not have thought of every “contingency” like the buffoons and cowards en masse who govern us now.
The Constitution of the United States of America is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, documents ever created by man but it implicitly counted on buffoons and cowards governing us being kept to a minimum. Alas, this is not the case. Interesting speculation, highly, what the Founders might have come up if they had known that Bidens, Harrises, Pelosis, Schumers, Romneys, Kinzingers, Blinkens and Milleys would one day abound in America. Maybe there is no safe guard against such idiots getting into power, especially when such detritus is ready to lie, to prevaricate, to cheat, to horribly embellish and to steal, all the while putting power and money above the interests of the body politic.
But this is where America is at today, run by control-freak buffoons and avaricious cowards. Not lookin’ good.
commonsense says
Agree completely, Wellington.
somehistory says
I wrote this question on another of the threads about biden and his committing of treason, times many.
Question: Since the head guy over the Marines has a spine; he said **his** marines wouldn’t be forced to take the jab, could take it if they wanted, but he wouldn’t allow the head cheese over the military to force it: Would it be possible for him, as a high-ranking officer, to declare biden…’commander-in-chief…incompetent to “lead” and then have the officers of the NCIS arrest biden for treason and conspiracy to commit treason?
Then, they could round up all of the others who knew about this…”o,” rice, blinken, etc….and charge them with treason and conspiracy to commit treason.
He should be **relieved of duty** as any incompetent officer would be. He’s supposed to be the top commander of the military. If a commander in the field was doing similar things, he could be removed, relieved of duty and placed under guard.
commonsense says
But who would replace the incompetent bastard?
somehistory says
If it could happen like that, the military officer who had biden removed and arrested, would take over command of the armed forces as “commander in chief,” and the rest of what a president should do in office could be hashed out by the other politicians, as to whom it would be.
harris would probably choke on her own saliva at the thought, and maybe not make it back to the States. pelosi could choke on her dentures and be ruled unable to lead. Neither of these females is qualified to push a broom or clean a toilet in the WH, much less make any decisions that affect us all.
gravenimage says
Much as I blanch at the idea of Kamala Harris taking office, I think a military coup would actually be much more harmful.
I don’t think that we want to throw out our democracy for these creeps.
somehistory says
And that is not what I wrote. Only the part as “commander-chief-” would be handled by the military guy who has stated that “my (his) marines” are not going to be forced to take the jab.
The “commander-in-chief” is a position over the military, while the seat of president covers a whole lot more with its executive powers.
Of course, it won’t happen like that.
However….
When you read the part of the Constitution and the Second Amendment, about the “well armed militia,” just what do you think would happen if this was used as the Framers worded things about not allowing “tyranny” to take over the country they started?
And we can all wonder now, when the afghans come here in mass…which they have done…and commit terror acts…perhaps on 9/11…re: the dhs memo alert about terror by “domestics” criticizing the covid restrictions, the election of fraud, Trump taking back the office…who will get the blame; who will be tracked and arrested?
Trouble is headed this way.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I actually believe that civilian control of the army is also a key point–thing have not gone well for societies that ignore this–they do not remain free.
somehistory says
You don’t seem to understand that no one is “free.”
If people have been reading the news and paying attention, they may have read where the woman got a divorce, wanted visitation with her kids, the judge asked if she had gotten the shot, “no, I have had bad reactions,” and the judge said no visitation until she gets the shot.
Drs. and nurses are being fired for not getting the shot. Police and military are being forced to get the shot. School kids are not allowed to go to college until they get the shot. Parents are being told to wear masks even at home; even if they have gotten the shot. Restaurants and gyms are supposed to keep people out if they can’t prove they have been jabbed. Pharmacies won’t fill certain scripts for meds because they have proven effective against the virus.
The shot contains MERS, HIV, a virus similar to, but worse than Ebola, and is not “approved” by the FDA, but people are still being forced to get it.
Now, there is an “approved” shot, but it is not yet produced to the point of enough, so the eua one is still being forced. It won’t be any different…the new is just like the old…same formula, different name on the label…but it won’t have the law on the side of people opting to refuse. It won’t be viewed as an experiment.
and none of it was meant to be an experiment. It was created as a weapon, just as the virus was.
People are shut down for writing this kind of stuff, drs have lost their jobs because they have expressed their concerns, no one is allowed to question the election, Americans are being left in a foreign country to be slaughtered and those in the military can’t even question what is being done about it, without losing their position/command.
Medicare and Medicaid are on the chopping block to doctors, hospitals, clinics if some employee doesn’t want the shot or can’t get it for health or religious reasons…no funding for those places; likely soon to be patients who rely on these won’t be able to go to the doctors if they haven’t gotten the jab, because the government won’t reimburse for patients who refuse the shot.
Now, you and some others have taken the shots. That was your choice. but, the rest of us who don’t want it…for whatever our reasons…are having our freedom to say no taken away from us.
Soon, we won’t be allowed….like a large city in the Philippines …to buy food; and biden has threatened no travel between States if no shot…
That is just a little snippet of the chipping away of our “freedoms” that are written as a guarantee. Soon, the Constitution won’t even be mentioned as those taking our freedoms take everything. They have been after the guns for so many years it feels like a broken record is being played every time the Congress meets or it’s election time; or some idiot uses a gun and kills people for no good reason.
In some places, people are being forced to recognize as “real” the demented, twisted, stupid, “gender” things…questioning, fluid, trans, etc. and can be charged with a crime if they don’t.
Women in prison being raped by males who claim to be female so they can be put in a cell with an actual woman.
And, the U.S. is not supposed to be a ‘democracy.’ It was meant to be a Republic, but that matters not to those with an evil agenda.
Mr. Spencer has written that this site may be taken down soon due to the content of his writing…his freedom to speak taken away.
So, this could very well be the nail in my freedom to express myself as I have done. Many churches were closed and preachers fined and jailed during the illegal lockdowns, so if it happens, I’ll not be a bit surprised.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I know that our freedoms are under assault right now. That doesn’t mean that I want to throw out our freedoms.
If I wanted that, I would just convert to Islam. No thanks.
My replying to you is *not* taking away your freedom. Freedom of speech also includes the right to reply to the speech of others.
wpm says
Blame the Biden voters the ones that are alive above ground, blame the MSM who have TDS that has driven them mad to back this walking corpse of a President in 2020 election. If he steps down we get Harris whose only strength is she checks all the right boxes of the Social justice warrior,s resume ,maybe she will die of a laughing fit when they put her in charge as “Commander and Chief”.
somehistory says
He claimed to be intending to “hunt down” those who killed the servicemen. What if the ones who killed the servicemen…except for the actual suicide murderer…are the same that he is saying are too dangerous to allow for the rescue of any/all Americans left behind?
Which is it, noodle-brain? You gonna’ hunt them down…at your time and your place…or you’re going for another long nap and “forget about it?”
A long dirt nap is too good for this son of satan who believes he is a world leader.
More evidence that the world is on the brink of Armageddon. At least that war will put an end to all of this corruption and other evils.

Watch Biden while he speaks. He has a habit of touching his face that could be described as pointing to his nose.

Biden: ISIS-K Terror Threat So Great We Have To Leave Americans In Their Hands
………………
*Utterly sickening*. Every American should be outraged.
Eleanor says
The only good I can see out of this catastrophe, is that there may be the odd Democrat who will turn Republican.
gravenimage says
Eleanor, I rarely voted Repubican until after 9/11.
Eleanor says
I can understand that GI — I’m not American, but the equivalent Dem Party in my country is not the Dem Party it used to be — it used to be for the poor, the labourers, the blue collar workers — but it’s not for them any more. It is for the new socialists, the new marxists, the new communists, the Woke and the Liberal Progressives, plus the environmental Greenies. Unfortunately, the old Dem voters and the ignorant and naive Dem voters, are so unaware that the Party has changed, they still vote for it.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Eleanor.
OLD GUY says
What a shame we have a commander in chief with dementia. A Vice President with cackles and no brains, what possibly could go wrong.
The American people need to DEMAND term limits on Congress and the Senate, Biden floated to the top just by sticking around long enough. Thats just like the kings idiot son inheriting the crown just because he’s the next in line.
gravenimage says
I’m not sure that term limits in and of themselves will solve anything. That just means that policy will largely be set by the parties–and in the case of the Democrats this would not necessarily be a good thing.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden has helped ISIS , he is still helping them, he is their useful idiot.
Biden with his awful policies has killed Americans, harmed other Americans and damaged America.
