The situation in Afghanistan is not just embarrassing. The American people have been betrayed. By their own leader.
Now that Biden has blood on his hands, it’s time Joey Demento steps down.
Today, explosions in Kabul killed Marines. First, reports claimed we had three dead. Then, it was ten. Now, the number of casualties is unknown. But one can bet Trump wouldn’t have lost a single American life.
In fact, if Trump were in office, he’d be on the golf course today. Because there would be no CRISIS in Afghanistan. There would be no rule from the Taliban. And ISIS wouldn’t be suicide bombing Americans.
As Fox News explains:
Coordinated suicide bombers detonated explosives Thursday evening in Kabul, one by the airport, another by a hotel Americans previously used as a rally point for evacuation by helicopter. A firefight followed the explosion at the airport.
“There’s going to be blood on his hands that are Americans, the blood of our allies,” Rep. Mike Garcia told Fox News during a Tuesday interview that was not previously released. “We’re unfortunately likely not going to get everyone out, and the Taliban is going to take over and kill those folks that we do leave behind.”
“This falls on the commander in chief’s desk,” the California Republican continued.
Garcia provided additional comments in a written statement following Thursday’s explosions.
“This tragedy is a further reminder of the deadly consequences of Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal,” his said in his statement. “We must double down on our efforts to evacuate all Americans and Afghan allies.”
“The reported explosions at the Kabul Airport and Hotel are tragic and I am praying for all those involved, especially the reported casualties to U.S. Troops,” Garcia also said. “I will continue to monitor the ongoing situation and do all I can to help.”
The U.S. has scrambled to evacuate American citizens as well as Afghan nationals who assisted the U.S. during the Afghanistan war ahead of an Aug. 31 deadline.
“This is a disgrace,” Garcia told Fox News during the Tuesday interview. “What our president has done, has shamed our nation. It’s shamed our folks that are over there, and who have been fighting for the last 20 years to secure the country and eradicate the al Qaeda threat as well as mitigate the Taliban threat.”
The Buck Stops Here
Recall, only a few days ago the President promised he wouldn’t point fingers. Biden was prepared to shoulder the blame. Of course, he quickly reneged and blamed everyone from Obama to Mr. Rogers. But Garcia voices the sentiment shared by millions of Americans.
“This falls on the commander in chief’s desk,” the California Republican continued.

We’re desperately hoping the Brits will save more American lives, just like they did when they rescued a WaPo reporter yesterday. But we should be able to count on our own leaders to bring them safely home. Instead, we’re at the mercy of others. And as Trump knows, that’s no place we should be.
Fox adds:
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul repeatedly issued warnings about terrorist threats and directed Americans to leave the airport. The embassy issued such a warning before Thursday’s explosions.
It’s unclear who was behind the terrorist attacks, though ISIS-K, a splinter from the Islamic State, has posed threats in Kabul.
But Garcia called the Taliban “an organization of terrorists, and they’ve been very clear who they are.” He said any expectation that they have changed or that they will cooperate with the U.S. “is extremely naïve.”
“And unfortunately, in this world, the risks and the consequences of being naive when you’re the president of the largest superpower this globe has ever seen, are significant,” Garcia told Fox News. “And we’re about to realize those detriments real time here very soon. And this president is to blame for that.”
I have only one question. Where are the impeachment cries? When does the hearing begin? Because Biden’s crimes far outweigh anything Trump ever did to offend the left. I think 8 months of a Biden Administration is more than enough damage to last us decades.
