Biden’s Indefatigable Incompetence; Pitiful, helpless pusillanimity in Afghanistan.



Biden’s Indefatigable Incompetence  ". . .  Also on Friday, we learned that Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue, the commander of the 82nd Airborne, called his British counterpart to demand that they stop evacuating civilians because it made the US military’s effort look bad. (Donohue denies making this request.)

The Brits have been sending elements of their famed 22nd Parachute Regiment — part of the Special Air Service, which is comparable to our SEALs or Green Berets — to take British citizens to safety. Fortunately, according to a Washington Times report, the British commander told Donahue to bugger off. Pusillanimity had never been a characteristic of the 82nd Airborne, but with Biden, Lloyd Austin, and Mark Milley in charge, both the alleged request by Donohue and the Brit’s reply are entirely believable. The Brit effort — as well as those of France, Germany, and other nations — is making us look bad because we’re not doing the same for our people." . . 

..."As I wrote on Friday, it is clearly within our capability to clear convoy routes by force, send in our troops to gather up U.S. citizens, and get them to the airport. If they have to kill a few hundred Taliban — or however many more that is necessary — to do so, so much the better.

"But we’re not doing that. Our forces — again, directed by Biden, Austin, and Milley — are sitting inside the airport perimeter. On Friday, Biden said, “I cannot promise what the final outcome will be, or that it will be without risk of loss, but as commander-in-chief I can assure you I will mobilize every resource necessary.” So far, all he’s done is to mobilize Civil Reserve Air Fleet assets — about eighteen civilian airliners — to carry people out of the Qatar refugee center to the U.S. and other nations."...


Biden has been wrong, or worse, for his entire, sorry career (msn.com)  . . . "That still doesn’t absolve the media of its obligation to examine the equally powerful evidence that Joe Biden is a liar, a serial plagiarist, a foreign-policy numbskull, a political coward, and a useful idiot for the radical Left.

As for cowardice, it is beyond all reason that Biden doesn’t face repeated questions and harsh criticisms from every media outlet about his refusal to say whether he would sign a bill to pack the Supreme Court. It is one of the election’s most important issues, with momentous ramifications for the court’s independence and the nation’s future." . . .

"It defies all journalistic standards for editorial boards to not demand answers about why Biden ferried his troubled son Hunter on Air Force Two to China when Hunter was seeking lucrative business deals from entities controlled by the Communist Chinese government."   ...

Biden's administration is either too incompetent or too dishonest to operate (msn.com)

    Either the Biden administration lied to the public, or it is so incompetent and inefficient that senior officials cannot accurately interpret intelligence reports. Neither of these scenarios is good.
