Joe Biden continues to mouth the comforting phrases fed to him by his teleprompter, occasionally garbling them in lifeless, unconvincing meter as they scroll faster than he can think. “Let me be perfectly clear,” he mumbled, talking tough about the Taliban. “We will make you pay,” he promised ISIS, before launching a pathetic excuse for retaliation.
Biden — the latest face in our growing rogue’s gallery of chickenhawk presidents — took barely 200 days to complete the destruction of our wavering reputation as an international power and partner. Bumbling doesn’t begin to describe the lousy intelligence and miserable incompetence behind the abrupt and humiliating abandonment of Afghanistan. Biden’s naive assurances of a peaceful and orderly withdrawal echo now as lies after his plea that it was bound to be chaotic.
