Biden angry at those who don't think he did a super duper job in Afghanistan
How many times has Joe Biden ranted at us about why he is right on Afghanistan? I’ve lost track, but I think this at least the fifth “official” rant.
But this one was the worst yet and you could feel it. He was just so angry. He’s not angry at the Taliban. He’s not angry at his own failures or those of his people. He’s angry at the people left behind. And, he’s angry at you. He’s angry at you for not simply accepting what an “extraordinary success” this all was.
He keeps screaming about ending the war, a point that no one is even contesting or really talking about – only about his incompetent handling of it – which he doesn’t want to deal with, so he keeps trying to switch the focus. He’s done this four times and still doesn’t realize that no one is buying this tact. What’s that they say about insanity is doing the same thing but expecting a different result?
But he also just kept saying things that made no sense or that were demonstrably untrue.
Biden says he was warning people to get out since March or April. But then he was also saying that he himself couldn’t see the country falling, that “no one” could, so he can’t be blamed for not seeing it. So which is it? In July, of course, he claimed that he hadn’t been told the country might fall. That was a lie, as we found out later, as he was told in June that it was a possibility. We’ve been talking about the possibility since at least May.
He spoke about the Trump May 1 deadline – yelling that the choice was between that and surging far more troops in for more war which no one was talking about. But he himself broke that deadline in April, postponing leaving for four months. So he himself proved that was nonsense. Plus, Trump had a lot of conditions in the deal that the Taliban broke, but Biden didn’t hold them to the deal, which would have kept them in check.
...
Biden kept trying to preach at us, convinced if he just kept yelling at we ignorant peasants even louder than the four times he’d already said it – we would be convinced of his argument that it was just cool to pull out the military without first pulling out the citizens or the allies with no apparent plan. Biden even made some bizarre comment about Yemen, that I have no idea what it means.
...
There were a lot of sick things in it, but the thing that was sociopathic about it all was using his own dead son’s name/death for emotional blackmail. Some people may not like that I say that, but that’s what it is. He’s done that repeatedly in his rants on Afghanistan. He did it again in Tuesday’s speech, and he did it during his Dover meetings with the families who lost their sons and daughters in Kabul. So, for the record, Joe Biden’s son Beau didn’t die in Afghanistan. He died of cancer. He had previously served in Iraq. The families felt he talked more about his own son than theirs. We see him throw Beau Biden again into this speech. He acts like he was a Gold Star father, and it’s not the same thing. The families know that and they were offended that he made it about himself and not about their loved ones.
...
It is rants like this one that keep making the case for those who believe Biden is suffering from dementia. It also shows his staff is incapable of keeping him from demonstrating his incompetence.
Biden demonstrates an inability to comprehend why people think he screwed up with his retreat from Afghanistan. It is probably another aspect of his dementia.
