But what Biden and that idiot have done to these soldiers, these families, it's incredible.
Joe Biden, that demented Feeb, was so hell-bent, so determined on getting out of Afghanistan.
That he rejected and rebuked and avoided and completely paid no attention to the advice from experts.
The advice to the contrary.
The advice of people who are saying, please, please, listen to this.
The pleas and the worries and the concerns of the Afghan government.
And he disregarded objections from U.S. allies and experts and generals.
And this...
This was one of the results, one of the findings from the House Foreign Affairs Committee's more than two-year investigation into America's schizophrenic, chaotic, deadly, ill-conceived, lunatic withdrawal, according to a blistering, absolutely take-no-prisoners report that was issued Sunday.
These are some of the quotes.
One, quote, During his decades-long tenure as a Delaware U.S. Senator, eight years as Vice President of the United States and nearly four years as President, Mr. Biden has demonstrated distrust of America's military experts and advisors and has prioritized politics and his personal legacy.
Over America's national security interests.
It gets worse.
His administration consistently, repeatedly lied, misrepresented, misled, prevaricated, obscured the information and the truth of the American public.
Trying to convince them to support his results be damned full steam ahead lunacy that the U.S. should abruptly and swiftly end its 20-year war.
Just like that.
Now, President Trump's administration had previously created and entered into The Doha agreement with the Afghan government and the Taliban to end the U.S. war in Afghanistan.
But Biden, oh no, no, no.
That's not his.
He's got to have his thumbprint, his fingerprint, his mark.
Biden forged ahead with little respect, little inclusion, little reference to the terms of the agreement, no matter the cost.
Though he would later blame, this is the best part, later blame that same agreement for forcing his hand.
The Doha agreement was cobbled, well, the cobbled was drafted in 2020.
And it stood for the proposition that held that the U.S. would withdraw its troops from Afghanistan if, if, if the Taliban met certain obligations, certain prerequisites.
For example, The Taliban was responsible for, quote, cutting ties with Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.
This is a quote, ceasing attacks on U.S. and coalition troops, reducing violence against Afghan forces, and starting negotiations with the Afghan government.
This is the report.
But Joe Biden, that senescent coot, and his reckless, demented, Absolute obstinacy, his determination pushed all of that aside because he wanted to do it his way.
All for show.
On the 4th of February in 2021, State Department spokesman Ned Price announced that the U.S. would begin the review to assess and review and determine The Taliban's adherence and following,
if you will, of the Doha Agreement to evaluate and to determine whether the U.S. should immediately withdraw from Afghanistan or perhaps something more measured.
But, this is what the report said, but, quote, in his testimony before the committee, contrary to his public statement, Mr. Price asserted The Taliban's adherence to the Doha Agreement was in fact immaterial, his words, to the Biden-Harris administration's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan.
The administration's lies and misrepresentations and blatant, naked disregard for reality only continued.
More from the report.
Quote, Missing from press releases was information related to the Taliban's failure to adhere to the Doha agreement, the ongoing presence of terrorism in Afghanistan, the capabilities of the Afghan government Oh, remember, NATO runs the show in Ukraine, but then he didn't care about NATO.
Further quote, It's incredible.
Joe Biden made the decision to pull out entirely, despite, notwithstanding, nearly every military expert and official advising him to the contrary.
Despite, this is from the report, quote, "Despite President Biden's public assertions to the contrary, our investigation has revealed the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Commander of U.S. Central Command, the Secretary of State, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Commander of NATO's Resolute Support Mission and United States Forces Afghanistan, all
All advised against withdrawing all U.S. troops from the country.
Both during and after the interagency review.
But they didn't care.
They also ignored the international community's concerns and pleas.
And they just said, you know what, we're going to go ahead.
We're going to go through, despite the objections of other NATO nations that deployed also to Afghanistan, in support of us.
Even key officials, key figures, key allies in Afghanistan pleaded, begged against a total U.S. withdrawal, arguing that this nation, this landlocked area, needed more time to prepare.
The report says, quote, General Haibatullah al-Azai, former Afghan army general, informed the committee, informed the committee majority staff that he had pleaded for more time for American commanders on the ground, saying, quote, just tell your leadership to stay with us for two more years.
We're going to make the initiative.
We're going to take the initiative.
It's in our favor, and we can defeat the Taliban.
But it didn't matter.
It didn't matter.
In one passage, in one reference to this, the report emphasized and underscored that Joe Biden didn't officially order a non-combatant evacuation operation, which is the largest the U.S. had ever pushed in history, until August the 16th, 2021, a day After Kabul fell to the Taliban.
And just two weeks before the last U.S. troops left the city.
Listen to what the report said.
Quote, Despite civilians in a hostile environment.
Oh, sorry.
Let me try this again.
I read this incorrectly.
The failure to prepare for a NEO had ramifications not only for Americans and allies in Afghanistan, but U.S. personnel on the ground forced to evacuate desperate civilians in a hostile environment.
Those concerns were sidelined.
By the Biden-Harris administration in favor of optics.
Optics!
That's the part.
The optics.
Now, Kamala was, for her benefit, sparingly and thankfully for her, mentioned in the report, which was one factor, one factor that the former committee senior investigator cited.
In his protest resignation from the probe, quote, the report says, Harris was the last person in the room when President Biden made the decision to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan, a fact she boasted shortly about, and shortly after President Biden issued his go-to-zero order.
The report stressed this.
Pointing to previous public reporting.
She was one of 15 administration officials that the report recommended Congress pass a resolution condemning over the debacle.
Now this report's release, as you know, comes two days before the Trump debate.
Critics Such as Pete Booty Giggity Giggity accused the panel of timing their report's release for political purposes.
But the panel's chairman, Michael McCaul, Republican from Texas, fired back to CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, quote, it's taken me two years to get to this point because of the obstruction.
I've had to serve subpoena after subpoena.
He did fault Trump for one key aspect of the withdrawal, the omission of the Afghan government from negotiations over the Doha agreement, which occurred under his watch.
And despite the House Foreign Affairs Committee's decision to release this damning report, its work on the matter is not even close to being over, far from over.
Quote, Mr. McCall said, we have a lot of unanswered questions regarding the Department of Defense about what happened.
The panel, which conducted 18 transcribed interviews, poured over 20,000 pages of documents, held seven public hearings to produce this incredibly scathing report.
And it's doing the best that it can.
The bottom line, the takeaway for everybody with two working neurons and an operational synapse, you do not want this child, this sock puppet, this windsock, this rube, this Boeotian, anywhere near the levers of government.
It's that simple.
This isn't just politics.
This isn't just a scathing report.
This is about somebody who has no business being anywhere near the levers of government, stewarding the helm of our constitutional republic.
