like this. This package of public scorn, frustration, and also disappointment
is unprecedented. Privately, senior officials in London are calling Biden —
“gaga” and “doolally.”

Simultaneously, 2020 election theft is proven. Republicans take Congress on Nov ’22. Kamala will be removed & Trump reinstated Jan ’23.

Smerconish on Afghanistan: Was it all in vain? (msn.com)
Editorial: What we’ve lost: Biden sidesteps responsibility for the mess in Afghanistan even as he claims to own it. Daily News Editorial Board, New York Daily News.
Joe Biden told a nationwide TV audience Monday that the horrifying scenes in Kabul, with desperate refugees fleeing the rule of a resurgent Taliban, aren’t his fault. He also says he won’t “shrink from my share of responsibility for where we are today.” Look up “cognitive dissonance” in the dictionary.

The problem, Biden explained, is that the Afghan army that we and our allies stood up, fell down the moment the U.S. troops pulled back and the Afghan government hightailed it out of the country. Fair enough: How can we fight their war if they won’t even fight it themselves?
But what Biden fails to face candidly is why the withdrawal had to be so chaotic, so seemingly haphazard, risking the lives of those who helped America fight its longest war. That was transparently a failure of planning and intelligence and leadership.

In making the broader case against staying in that dysfunctional land for another five or 10 or 20 years, Biden could have cited one of his predecessors on a different war: “We are not about to send American boys nine or 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.” Of course, Lyndon Johnson said that two weeks before his 1964 election, then soon enough sent huge numbers of American boys to Vietnam to fight.
But like Vietnam, the Afghanistan war is ending, and in much the same way with us closing our embassy and flying away, leaving terrified people to the mercy of the conquering enemy. For that it’s impossible to blame the weak will of the Afghan forces, or Ashraf Ghani, who was Afghan president before he skipped out. Ghani wanted to avoid the fate of Najibullah, the Soviet-installed Afghan president who didn’t escape when the Taliban conquered the country the first time in the 1990s. Najibullah was caught, tortured, castrated and dragged to death behind a Jeep.
America is right to leave. “The buck stops with me,” said the president. SO Hold him to his word.
Don’t let the Taliban dictate terms, Sen. Thom Tillis: Mr. Biden, 70,000 need to get out of Afghanistan. In a one-hour span on Friday, I heard two completely different messages in two different settings coming from President Biden and his administration.
In an address to the nation on Friday, the president pledged that he will see
to it that all Americans will be evacuated from Afghanistan. However, in a call with U.S. senators just an hour later, a high-ranking official only promised that “we will get as many as we can.”
Let’s do the math. We have less than 10 days until the August 31 deadline.
As of Friday, there were an estimated 10,000 US citizens, an estimated 10,000 Afghans who have been issued a special immigrant visa (SIV), 40,000 SIV-eligible Afghans, nearly 6,000 U.S. troops, and another 1,000 U.S. personnel
at the Kabul airport. That’s nearly 70,000 people to evacuate over 10 days.

The president must accept the reality that if he is going to live up to his pledge, we cannot be held back by another artificial timeline. Doing so would further harm America’s reputation around the globe, and worst of all, it could leave American citizens behind enemy lines and tens of thousands of Afghan men, women and children left to die.
The consequences of failure will not be limited to those the president would leave behind on August 31. Countess veterans who served in Afghanistan are despondent as they watch the events unfold in Afghanistan.
They are not getting their information from the news or the internet, they are getting it from real-time communications from their brothers and sisters-in-arms. They are hearing stories of Afghans who were deployed with them, slept in tents together in between live-fire encounters with the Taliban, and cried over the bodies of men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield.

They are hearing stories of them being detained, threatened, and beaten by the Taliban. Their brothers and sisters in arms are sharing their frustration with being told to go to the Kabul airport only to find a line of armed Taliban between them.
And once you get past the line? One told us the story of a horrifying account of a Taliban shooting and killing two people outside the gate in front of his family of three small children. Sadly, they did not get through so they had to retreat and try again, and again, and again.
These are only a few of the stories I have heard from veterans in North Carolina.
The president and the American people need to know that active-duty servicemembers and veterans who served in Afghanistan have a bond with tens of thousands of men and women with whom they’ve built and maintained a friendship with. They share memories. They’ve kept track of their lives—marriages, children, and their progress in healing from the wounds of war.
They are like family—they are a part of them. Now, these Americans are seeing a piece of them at risk of being tortured, raped, and murdered. I know of one Marine who had these conversations with his brother-in-arms in Afghanistan and am now haunted by the tragic news late this week that the same Marine became hopeless and took his own life.
Mr. President: you’ve made a promise, but your math does not add up.
Do not allow the Taliban to dictate the timeline and terms of our evacuation. You must fulfill your promise, or we will lose innocent lives in Afghanistan and the United States. You must move heaven and earth and take whatever time is necessary to ensure that every American gets back home safely and we honor that same commitment to the Afghans who risked their own lives to protect our troops.
Veteran opens up about what he witnessed serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. By Maria Lencki | Fox News
Retired Captain John Branson sat down with Fox Nation on ‘Real Marines,’ where he revealed what he saw while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Around the time Branson was deployed to Ramadi, Iraq, TIME magazine ranked the city as the most dangerous place in the world. “For us, Ramadi was sort of like a fistfight in a phone booth,” Branson said.” We never knew where the ambush was going to come from.”
“You’re walking down a city, it could come from any window, and they could hit you from the window with small arms, fire, an RPG, an IED in the trash, and then they would disappear out of the back of that building,” he recalled. “The whole thing would be over in three minutes, but it was incredibly violent, and there wasn’t a lot you could do about it.”
Branson went from serving in the most dangerous city on Earth to what Journalist Rick Leventhal described as likely the second most dangerous place on Earth: Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The violence in Afghanistan was so bad that it would take a rocket to wake Branson up. “We would be attacked two or three times a day,” he told Fox Nation.
“It could be five minutes. It could be 30 minutes.
I told my platoon staff, anytime we’re in contact, you’ve got to wake me up
if I’m asleep and then I didn’t sleep for, like, three days.” Branson then told the platoon to wake him up if they were in contact for more than five minutes, but he still didn’t sleep, so he instructed them to wake him up if a rocket hit. “We were basically in contact so often that… I decided that a rocket was the threshold for waking me up,” he explained.
The Marines confronted terrifying situations with bravery.
In one rare circumstance, Branson described how he was tested to the
limit when the Marines had no weapons to resupply themselves in a battle.
“We started that engagement at 4:30 in the morning and the last shot was fired at 11:00 AM,” he said. We were essentially surrounded for most of the time, so ammunition became a problem. As the officer in charge, that was the most concerning.”
In one firefight where the U.S. Marines killed 34 Taliban members, a Marine was hit in the face with an RPG that had hit bulletproof glass leading part of a turret to injure him. “We are very fortunate in that it didn’t… detonate. It was a dud,” Branson told Fox Nation.” So, it was really the force of impact that hurt him. So, he had to be medevacked, and he was back in the fight within a week.”
Along with being prepared to fight in very dangerous situations.
Marines were also trained to be resilient in Afghanistan’s sweltering heat. Branson explained that it was so hot in Afghanistan that the Humvees would overheat and not work in midday. Marines even cooked a lot of their meals on the hood of the vehicles. “You just drop the canned food on the hood of the Humvee at noon and 15 minutes later, it’s cooked,” Branson explained.
Ultimately, in each situation the Marines faced, they did so with courage and love for their country. Branson reflected on how his time in the Marines really shaped him, adding that “service in any form is one of the most gratifying things” of his life. “Selfishly, I got a lot out of being a Marine. Being a Marine matured me at an early age,” he told Fox Nation. “It gave me leadership skills. It gave me a brotherhood. It gave me appreciation for life.”
“As Ronald Reagan said, you know, Marines don’t have to spend a lifetime worrying if they’ve made a difference,” he added. “Again, I don’t think you
have to be a Marine to make a difference, but public service is a rewarding thing for anyone to go into.”
