Panic setting in among Kamala’s handlers?
Kamala Harris on the Afghanistan Withdrawal - WSJ "Kamala Harris is working hard to hide her policy views from the public, but now and then she opens a window on her worldview, and it isn’t reassuring. One example came Monday on the third anniversary of the terrorist bombing at the Kabul airport that killed 13 Americans trying to defend the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan." . . .
"But if she has any regrets about President Biden’s policy, she isn’t sharing them. “As I have said,” Ms. Harris noted, “President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war.”
"It’s good to know what she thinks, but it doesn’t reflect well on her judgment as a potential Commander in Chief..."
Biden was hellbent on leaving Afghanistan -- ignoring military advice, NATO objections and Afghan pleas: House report (nypost.com) "President Biden was so hellbent on getting out of Afghanistan that he rebuked any advice to the contrary, ignored the pleas of the Afghan government and disregarded objections from US allies.
"That was the one of the main takeaways from the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s more than two-year investigation into America’s chaotic, deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, according to a blistering report released Sunday.
" 'During his decades-long tenure as a Delaware US senator, eight years as vice president of the United States and nearly four years as president, Mr. Biden has demonstrated distrust of America’s military experts and advisors and has prioritized politics and his personal legacy over America’s national security interests,” the roughly 350-page report asserted." . . .
“Despite warnings against withdrawing by senior leaders, Vice President Harris’ aide disclosed the vice president ‘strongly supported’ President Biden’s decision,” McCaul’s report goes on. “President Biden’s former Chief of Staff Ron Klain affirmed Vice President Harris was entrenched in the president’s Afghanistan policy.” . . .
Mike Pompeo Outlines How Trump Admin Planned to Handle Afghanistan, Taliban - Newsweek "Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said the Trump administration had a better approach to dealing with Taliban "butchers" and their plan would have led to a more successful withdrawal from Afghanistan.
. . ." Pompeo spoke to Fox Business host David Asman about Biden's speech and said the president "blamed everyone but himself."
"The tragedy you see unfolding, the videos you see, those things didn't have to be," he said.
Pompeo argued that the Trump administration had kept the country stable through a "deterrence" model and went on to stress the need to evacuate personnel from Afghanistan."
