#IStandWithBiden — the Big Guy is going to brazen it out

I know my decision on Afghanistan will be criticized. But I would rather take all that criticism than pass this responsibility on to yet another president.

It’s the right one for our people, for the brave servicemembers who risk their lives serving our nation, and for America.

This will work well enough with political partisans but the hard rivals of America will see it for an exercise in trying to cast incompetence as resoluteness. They will note:

1. He didn’t anticipate the outcome of his own orders;
2. He spent a long time sequestered writing a speech;
3. His ultimate reaction was to deny the situation and pass the buck.

Any first rate enemy who sees these characteristics in his opposing commander knows he is dealing with a broken man. Biden is advertising he’s a loser.

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
