Las Vegas Review-Journal Editorial Board: “Biden dances to the Taliban’s tune”
Washington, D.C. – The Las Vegas Review-Journal today ripped President Joe Biden as a “weak, incompetent president” for “taking his directions from the Taliban.” Instead of a show of force, Biden doubled down on his commitment to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by August 31 even as many Americans remain stranded in the country looking for a safe way out.
Where is Catherine Cortez Masto as Biden tangos with the Taliban? Silent. Nevadans deserve a Senator who holds any president accountable for “taking his directions” from a terrorist organization.
Catherine Cortez Masto’s silence must mean she agrees with Joe Biden’s deference to the Taliban and is simply waiting for her turn on the dance floor.
Las Vegas Review-Journal Editorial Board: “Biden dances to the Taliban’s tune”
The president of the United States is supposed to be the leader of the free world. But President Joe Biden is now taking his directions from the Taliban.
On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced that it would not be extending its Aug. 31 deadline to pull American troops out of Afghanistan. There is no guarantee that all American citizens will have been evacuated by then, especially those who are outside Kabul.
Over the last few days, Americans have been horrified by accounts of the Taliban beating U.S. citizens. The Taliban and the chaos outside the airport prevented some U.S. citizens from reaching safety. The U.S. Embassy also sent conflicting messages about what U.S. citizens should do. Despite Mr. Biden’s assurances, even Democrats are openly acknowledging that if he insists on this timeline, people will be left behind […]
That is obviously unacceptable. Things look even worse for the Afghans who helped the United States during the war. The Taliban is already reportedly looking for and executing them. Now, it says it won’t allow any Afghans to leave the country. To the U.S.’s shame, Mr. Biden appears ready to condemn many of them to death […]
As we near the anniversary of 9/11, it’s likely that Mr. Biden has left the Taliban better armed and more powerful than the U.S. found them 20 years ago.
He’s shredded the U.S.’s credibility with our allies as well. They openly doubt our willingness to stand alongside them in the future.
The U.S. has the strongest military in the history of the world. But even our armed forces can be crippled by a weak, incompetent president. It’s obvious to the Taliban, our allies and our enemies that’s exactly what Mr. Biden is.
