Between the Supreme Court decision upholding the Texas Heartbeat Law and Hurricane Ida's devastating damages, the Biden White House and its synchophantic political guardians are eager to turn the page on the Afghanistan atrocity.
Nice try, but I don't think it's going to work.
The tragedy, horror, disgrace, and shame of the Afghanistan pullout won't go away. All across the country, Americans feel the weight of this national sorrow. Thanks to Biden, for the first time in our history we deliberately left Americans behind enemy lines. Thanks to him, we left friends of other nations who had stepped up to help us in honor of the NATO alliance--without even telling them we were leaving. Biden also left unimaginable quantities of valuable military equipment, paid for by us--the American taxpayers. Most soul-crushing of all is the sickening knowledge that due to Biden's terrible decisions, we needlessly lost thirteen of our best and bravest young American troopers.
So go ahead, Joe. Talk about women's health and climate change all you want. Seize upon those evolving headlines, courtesy of your media guard dogs. But this isn't a campaign blip or just another news cycle. Stories will continue to come from Afghanistan about what is happening to our fellow citizens left behind and also to our Afghan friends. We may even learn the fate of your own Afghan interpreter who saved your life. He personally begged you to help him and his family, but you didn't help. Imagine how safe that makes the rest of us feel.
No, the Afghanistan story will dog you for a while, Joe. You betrayed the people of the United States, our courageous and dedicated warriors, our international allies, and our national security. Ignore it or not, Afghanistan is going to leave a mark.
