Biden at fault in transfer to the Taliban

-

It’s President Joe Biden’s fault that the surrender to the Taliban went so badly. When he addressed the nation on Wednesday, it was nothing new—just louder. The surrender was a success, but it was his predecesso­r’s fault. He declared that he would leave no one behind—except those hundreds still behind enemy lines. He mentioned nothing about the $85 billion in American weapons and aircraft given to the Taliban. An avowed enemy of the U.S. has more weaponry than some of our allies now. Where’s the normal I was promised? And he should stop pretending to be a Gold Star dad. His lack of shame must give him solace.
