Pompeo: Biden 'failed' in Afghanistan withdrawal plan, is 'pathetic' for blaming Trump

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the Biden administration has "failed" in its withdrawal from Afghanistan as the Taliban is poised to retake control of the country as the U.S. is ending its nearly 20-year military presence there.

Pompeo also pushed back against President Biden's claim that he inherited a bad situation from his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.

"It looks like the Biden administration has just failed in its execution of its own plan," Pompeo told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.

The Taliban, the Islamic extremist group that the U.S. had removed from power following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 due to their harboring of mastermind Osama bin-Laden, has taken over large portions of Afghanistan, and Sunday morning was poised to take the capital city of Kabul. Meanwhile, the U.S. is evacuating its embassy.

American forces are scheduled to complete their withdrawal by the end of August, but Pompeo said the administration should not just allow the Taliban to take over.

"We should put pressure on them, we should inflict costs and pain on them," Pompeo said. The former secretary said that the Taliban becoming "aggressive" and "fearless" is the latest result of the Biden administration not putting effective deterrence measures in place...................

Taliban aggressive and fearless, in direct and as usual, democrats handing our enemies another victory and another defeat for America.  Its been quite a while since democrats pulled this trick in Vietnam, demanding Americans needed to have more casualties to make the war fair, and many times since then.  Obama turned an entire American Armies equipment over to jihadist (trip down memory lane).  Yet the useful fools still rationalize and excuse our defeats to cover for the democrats, real lock-steppers in OUR ranks.  Americans forced to pay in Treasury, our soldiers in bodies, blood and limbs.  Patriots and law-abiding citizens treated daily as the enemy.  Only useful fools and traitors can be so blind to this.
