Joe Bidens shame Afghan women fearing Taliban hurl babies over barbed wire
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
The ultimate summation of President Bidenâs administration, as captured in photos, will be those of Afghan women hurling their babies over barbed wire at the Kabul airport in desperate attempts for U.S. soldiers to fly them to safety.
Way to go, Joe. Way. To. Go.
âAmid desperate attempts by Afghans to flee the country as the Taliban takes charge, women have reportedly been throwing their babies over barbed fences, asking troops to catch them and take them to safety,â Yahoo! News wrote.
And this, from Sky News: âDesperate women throw babies over razor wire at compound,â read a recent headline.
The exit of America from Afghanistan didnât have to go this way. President Donald Trumpâs team had an evacuation plan that called for the safe removal of civilians first.
âCan anyone imagine taking out our military before evacuating civilians and others who have been good to our country and who should be allowed to seek refuge?â Trump said in a statement of Team Bidenâs deplorable handling of Afghanistan, The Week wrote.
Heck, thatâs not even Republican versus Democrat strategy or policy. Thatâs just common sense.
But the Biden administration has spent all of its White House days in office rabidly, lustily, determinately tearing down any piece of remaining Trump policy, so that by the time Afghanistan rolled around, the buck of anything MAGA was automatic and knee-jerk. The standard became: If Trump is for it, weâre against it.
Thatâs still the standard, it seems.
Thatâs why Biden wonât take responsibility for the current chaos in Afghanistan; he canât suffer the idea that Trumpâs way would have been the right way. His administration canât stomach the notion of acknowledging defeat. His defense secretary canât admit the mistakes made â" and then move on to speedy solutions.
Peoplesâ lives are at stake, for Peteâs sake.
Thousands of lives; thousands of individuals promised protection by the U.S. forces, by the U.S. president, by the U.S. leadership.
Biden, with a lick of an ice cream cone, threw them all under the bus.
So now we have women in Afghanistan chucking their kids into the arms of shocked U.S. military strangers.
Thatâs what happened at the fall of Saigon, too.
And thatâs what Bidenâs presidency will be remembered for â" thatâs his legacy: desperate women throwing crying babies across barbed wire to unknown fates. The elections canât come fast enough.
