Biden Hypocritically Blames Trump for Failed Afghanistan Withdrawal, Takes No Responsibility
President Joe Biden broke his campaign promise of taking responsibility and not blaming others by looking to shift blame for his botched withdraw from Afghanistan onto former President Donald Trump.
During the 2020 presidential election campaign trail, Biden said in a tweet, “I’ll do my job and take responsibility. I won’t blame others.” He also added that following that would be “unlike this president,” meaning Trump at the time.
Biden also admittedly said that the president’s job is not about himself but the people he is supposed to serve — the American people:

CNN’s Ward: Taliban ‘Chanting ‘Death to America’ but They Seem Friendly at the Same Time’
Monday on CNN’s “New Day,” network chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward delivered a report from the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan, after Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani reportedly fled the country upon the arrival of Taliban forces.
Ward said it is “clear” the Taliban is now back in “charge” of Afghanistan.
“As soon as we leave our compound, it’s clear who is now in charge,” Ward stated in a report. “Taliban fighters have flooded the capital. Smiling and victorious, they took this city of 6 million people in a matter of hours — barely firing a shot. This is a sight I honestly thought I would never see: scores of Taliban fighters, and just behind us, the U.S. embassy compound. Some carry American weapons. They tell us they’re here to maintain law and order.”
Ward then translated an interview with a commander of the Taliban who told her that “everything is under control and that America needs to “leave” Afghanistan.
“‘Everything is under control. Everything will be fine,’ the commander says. ‘Nobody should worry,'” she reported.
“What’s your message to America right now?” Ward asked the commander.
“‘America already spent enough time in Afghanistan,'” she quoted him as saying. “‘They need to leave,’ he tells us. ‘They already lost lots of lives and lots of money.'”

Biden Open to Working with Taliban if It ‘Upholds the Basic Rights of Its People’
American Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a CNN interview on Sunday that the administration of President Joe Biden “can work with and recognize” a Taliban government in Afghanistan that respects women and “doesn’t harbor terrorists.”
The Taliban, the jihadist organization that ruled Afghanistan prior to the U.S. invasion of that country in 2001, completed its takeover of the country on Sunday, surrounding Kabul and negotiating the departure of the previous Afghan government. Ex-President Ashraf Ghani reportedly fled Sunday after delivering a bizarre televised speech in which he claimed to be working to regroup the Afghan military to fight the Taliban. Thousands of Afghan troops had deserted and fled into neighboring countries at the time of his claim.
The siege of Kabul arrived days before the planned complete departure of U.S. troops from the country, which Biden had scheduled to be completed by August 31. Under President Donald Trump, the White House had negotiated with the Taliban to leave the country by May 1, 2021, in exchange for the Taliban agreeing not to attack U.S. troops and agreeing to cut ties to international terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda. Biden broke the deal in April, changing the deadline for withdrawal to September, then revising it to August. Taliban officials responded by asserting that the agreement no longer bound them, as Biden had broken it, and launched 22,000 attacks between April and July, according to the former Afghan government.
Blinken appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday morning as news broke that Ghani had fled and Taliban fighters would take the streets of Kabul — but only, Taliban leaders insisted, to prevent looting and robbery. Host Jake Tapper asked Blinken, in the context of the Communist Party of China extending Beijing’s friendship to the new Taliban government, if a situation existed in which the Biden administration would accept the legitimacy of a Taliban government in Kabul.

Biden’s Presidency Collapsed with Afghanistan
What we are witnessing today is the end of Joe Biden’s presidency… Afghanistan was merely the last straw…
1.Joe Biden Lost Entire Country in a Single Day
After 20 years, thousands of American lives, and trillions of dollars, Afghanistan collapsed in a single day. Think about the extent of that failure. All those years, all that treasure, all those precious lives, and in one day, it’s all over.
Oh, Slow Joe and the fake media will try to blame former President Donald Trump, and it is more than fair to believe the Taliban would’ve eventually routed the Afghan government with Trump in office, but not like this, nothing like this.
First off, Joe violated our agreement with the Taliban. My colleague Frances Martel perfectly laid out what the media will never tell you:
Under predecessor Donald Trump, Washington brokered a deal with the Taliban that would have seen the American military presence in the country, which turned 20 years old this year, end on May 1, 2021. In exchange, the Taliban promised not to attack American troops and to cut ties with international jihadist organizations like al-Qaeda, whose attacks on America on September 11, 2001, prompted the Afghan War. Instead, Biden broke the deal, extending the military presence initially into September before cutting it back to August.
Taliban officials took Biden’s disavowal of the agreement as a license to begin a campaign of conquest nationwide that has resulted in, according to Taliban officials, the group now controlling about 85 percent of the country. Taliban officials also falsely claimed they never agreed to cut ties with al-Qaeda. [emphasis added]

Crenshaw on Taliban Takeover: World ‘a Lot More Dangerous’ Because of Biden’s ‘Incompetence’
Monday, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) slammed President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan after the Taliban took over the country’s capital.
Crenshaw said he wished it were not reality, but the terrorists are still fighting their endless war in the Middle East. He added that Biden’s “incompetence” has led to the Taliban’s takeover, which means the world is now “a lot more dangerous.”
“It just blows my mind that this is where we’ve come to,” Crenshaw told FNC’s “Fox & Friends.” “I’ve been beating this drum for a long time trying to explain to people that you send people like me over there so that you fight them there instead of here. There’s a lot of intelligence that demonstrates that the people there do want to commit terrorist attacks here on the homeland. They always have. This is what they do. They hate Western civilization. They are ideologically opposed to us, and I know that makes people uncomfortable that that fight is required, but just because you bring the troops home doesn’t mean they will. Just because you want to end your endless war doesn’t mean they want to. And I wish we lived in a different reality. And if people want to live in that reality, well, they can go write a fiction book about it, but I live in the real world. And the real-world just got a lot more dangerous because of this kind of incompetence.”
