 Hiding behind his tears — Sorry Biden’s decisions led to Kabul carnage: Goodwin

The deep grief on President Biden’s face as his eyes swelled with tears was painful to watch. But his personal suffering cannot exonerate him from the responsibility for what happened in Kabul.

Nor can his obscenely shameful effort to shift the blame to former President Donald Trump and even his own military commanders be taken seriously. Biden says the buck stops with him, but he doesn’t really mean it.

When the enemy strikes with deadly results, it’s somebody else’s fault. That’s not leadership and it certainly isn’t presidential.

If he truly accepted responsibility, Biden would own up to the obvious fact that his actions played a big role in this horrific outcome. Instead, his claim that every commander agreed with him on the withdrawal plan is a bald-faced lie.

We know for certain the military argued against his hasty exit. Officers gave him alternatives and he said no because, for 50 years, Joe Biden has always known best.

Let's compare and contrast "Bloody Hand" Biden's grotesque buck-passing with President Ronald Reagan's words regarding the Beirut bombing:


''If there is to be blame,'' Mr. Reagan said, ''it properly rests here in this office and with this President. I accept responsibility for the bad as well as the good.''

While acknowledging that the marines were ill-prepared to deal with the Oct. 23 terrorist truck bombing that took 241 lives, the President said their commanders ''have already suffered quite enough.'

That is how a President - how a leader - speaks, and accepts responsibility for what happens on his watch.

Pulling a 1972 McGovern style sobfest for one's self is not how a real leader acts.

I never thought Biden was up to the job.  Even during his cognizant years. 

Now this dementia wrecked empty suit still is being paraded up there for minutes at a time, to lead from as a mumbling, bumbling, inept figure head.  Now add sheeple who have been brainwashed by MSM and Big Tech, an oppostion party which has basically cheated, and is changing the rules around how elections are managed.

What does it al mean?  Any one on the right hand spectra of politics now has to bow to their new Socialist Masters.  Just around the corner will be wealth redistribution.  (don't get to cozy with your 401K/IRA's).  Don't believe me?  Look at Biden.  When in at least my history of montioring politics would an obvious bufoon like this be able to destroy everything domestically and internationally, and get away with it.

By the time the next so called POTUS election occurs, Biden will have added $5-6T to the national debt, and the $ will likely be replaced as the worlds' reference currency.  The inflationary mess we see now likely may be child's play, or Biden's follys will force the U.S into the 1930's on steroids.  I have a pretty strong understanding of economics, and right now, I just don't see a good solution coming in any direction,

I hate to seem so doom and gloom, but I imagine there are alot of you out there that likely agree that we have elected mostly idiots since 1988, and we now are going to have to pay the price for those choices. I fear for this country,
