In what some are describing as the worst foreign policy blunder in decades, President Joe Biden mustered up all the fortitude he could, stepped in front of the American people, and blamed everybody but himself for the Afghanistan crisis.

He blamed the previous president. He blamed the Afghan military. He blamed the Afghan government for its reluctance to allow a preemptive US evacuation. After blaming everyone else, Biden reminded himself and others that, “I am the president of the United States and the buck stops with me.” His address was so fraught with blame and contradictions, however, that the only conclusion can be that Biden bungled the whole thing, with huge consequences for the future.

He said, “My national security team and I have been closely monitoring the situation on the ground in Afghanistan and moving quickly to execute the plans we had put in place to respond to every constituency, including — and contingency — including the rapid collapse we’re seeing now…. We were clear-eyed about the risks. We planned for every contingency.”

Then he contradicted that claim by saying, “The truth is: This did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated.”

This is an admission that he and his security team totally misread the situation and failed to respond as the terrorist Taliban moved through Afghanistan and conquered all the cities that American troops fought, died, and were maimed for life to secure.

Biden blamed President Trump, saying he inherited the Trump peace deal for a May 1 US troop withdrawal. Biden said that “The choice I had to make, as your President, was either to follow through on that agreement or be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of the spring fighting season. There would have been no ceasefire after May 1. There was no agreement protecting our forces after May 1. There was no status quo of stability without American casualties after May 1.”

Biden failed to admit that he pushed back the withdrawal beyond May 1. Trump’s agreement was to fully withdraw troops in exchange for the Taliban to not attack American forces and cut ties with al-Qaeda.

Biden obviously didn’t have the grit to stand up to the Taliban that was central to Trump’s strategy. And the Taliban knew Biden would be a pushover.

Reports are that the Taliban has freed al-Qaeda terrorists from the prisons and has seized extremely valuable US military assets that were left behind because of Biden’s botched retreat. Already, the Pentagon is “reassessing” the terrorist threat due to Biden’s blunder.

Biden’s botch has ripple consequences across the world for the balance of power. China, Russia, and Iran now know that Biden does not have the courage to defend the interests of the United States and its allies. Israel and European allies now know they can’t count on Biden.

Proverbs 29:12 says, “If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.”

If a leader believes his own lies, there are consequences as in Ephesians 5:6: “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.”

May the Lord have mercy on us all.

It’s like a steady stream of stupidity and hypocrisy. Joe Biden and his merry band of anti-American misfits are making a mess of things. Seriously.

There isn’t a day that goes by without a serious breach of common sense. Oh, yes, everyone should be vaccinated against COVID 19. Everyone, that is, except the illegal aliens that Biden is allowing to cross the border at record rates without any COVID vaccine. He is also shipping them across America to a town near you or your hometown and paying for their hotel rooms so they can infect the rest of us. Yet those who do not want to be forced to get vaccinated (my body, my choice for killing babies, but not getting vaccinated), are considered anti-American murderers. WOW.

Biden also pulled off the most stupid foreign policy move since the sentiments of Neville Chamberlain, who wanted to appease Adolf Hitler of all people. Biden says the buck stops with him, yet he blames everyone else for his stupid decision to let the terrorist Taliban walk all over him. He can couch the whole idea that he refused to be that “president” to pass along the Afghanistan civil war to another president, but the fact is he folded like a lawn chair when it came to protecting American interests in Afghanistan. “Oh, the Afghani government wouldn’t let us evacuate early.” C’mon man, grow some courage. You let them have American equipment and weapons without putting up so much as a paper clip as resistance.

What about gas prices? Before Biden took office, America was energy independent. Now we are, quite frankly, energy screwed. This joker implements the communist green energy plan without any phase-in. Cut the Keystone pipeline and a few thousand jobs and watch gas prices go up 50 cents.

And what about all that inflation? Biden economic policies are front and center to people not even wanting to go back to work because of COVID incentives. He is sending jobs back to him and his son’s best friends forever (BFFs), China, and is cowering in a corner, hoping China doesn’t flex their military muscle on Taiwan. Well, I would hate to be in Taiwan’s shoes right now, given how Biden squished in Afghanistan.

Back in 1979, I thought there was no way that any president would be worse than Carter. In the ’90s, I thought Clinton was almost as bad as Carter. In 2007, I was cringing that a Republican possibly could be as bad as Carter. Then we had a Marxist who really messed things up. Then we had a president that actually did well, but many people didn’t like how he did it. But now? Wow! This Biden guy is every bit as bad or worse than Carter. He is an unmitigated disaster only eight months into his four-year term.

Proverbs 18:6 says, “A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.”

Trouble is, Americans and the good guys in the world are going to take that beating too. Say it with me… Stupidocrisy.
