Dave Scott: Biden first president to surrender
August 19, 2021 | Dave Scott
When the Iranians took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 they took 66 Americans hostage.
Today the Taliban in Afghanistan hold thousands of Americans hostage and they didn’t have to lift a finger. Joe Biden handed them over. He closed the impenetrable Bagram air base that provided air cover and an escape hatch, pulled out the 2,500 U.S. troops, lowered the American flag and shuttered the U.S Embassy. In addition, he handed over billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment and the keys. He surrendered.
It’s hard to argue with British Daily Mail newspaper columnist Andrew Neil when he wrote: “The fall of Kabul and return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan is the most humiliating foreign policy disaster for America since the end of World War II.”
Thousands of Americans and their Afghan partners scattered around the country woke up to discover they had been abandoned. Only a mindless buffoon would make a decision to pull out the military before taking care of the civilians and contractors they were there to protect? He not only didn’t protect them. He didn’t even tell them he was leaving. America’s allies in Afghanistan weren’t even consulted.
The American civilians and their families left behind are now frantically calling U.S. TV stations, relatives, or anybody else they can reach desperately pleading for help. The streets are teeming with armed savages hunting them down. Their chances of rescue are slim. Joe Biden has abandoned them. Their hopes of escaping are similar to the Iranian hostages whose last chance lay in flaming airplane and helicopter wreckage in the desert due to the ineptness of Jimmy Carter more than 40 years ago.
