On Afghanistan fiasco, even CNN points the finger straight at Joe Biden
By Monica Showalter
Afghanistan is a disaster of untold dimensions. It's a story so big it's actually drawing mainstream media interest, given the monumental scale of failure from our country's sorry leadership.
But nothing beats this analysis from a CNN contributor who blasts Joe Biden to smithereens in the most damning presentation of facts so far. That CNN would publish this is almost as newsworthy as the unfolding Afghanistan fiasco.
Peter Bergen is an old war correspondent who was onto bin Laden back in the 1990s and actually interviewed the monster. He knows his stuff.
In his analysis, he puts all of the blame squarely on Joe Biden.

Afghanistan is a disaster of untold dimensions. It's a story so big it's actually drawing mainstream media interest, given the monumental scale of failure from our country's sorry leadership.
But nothing beats this analysis from a CNN contributor who blasts Joe Biden to smithereens in the most damning presentation of facts so far. That CNN would publish this is almost as newsworthy as the unfolding Afghanistan fiasco.
Peter Bergen is an old war correspondent who was onto bin Laden back in the 1990s and actually interviewed the monster. He knows his stuff.
In his analysis, he puts all of the blame squarely on Joe Biden.
His most important points:
One, Biden's sudden pullout from Afghanistan is identical to the sudden U.S. pullout of Iraq in 2011. That was when ISIS began its blitzkreig and almost toppled Baghdad. Who was behind that? Sure enough, Joe Biden who learned literally nothing from that fiasco. As a matter of common sense, President Obama sent the troops back, bailing Biden out. But it made no impression on Biden. He went on to repeat his disastrous mistake in Afghanistan. Bergen writes:
Now Biden is presiding over a debacle entirely of his own making in Afghanistan -- and one that has unfolded more swiftly than even the most dire prognostications.
