Patriot Retort:
If you read the Reuters transcript of the phone call between President Biden and former Afghan President Ghani, you know how important optics are to Joe Biden. But if that call wasn’t enough to convince you, yesterday’s stunning report in the New York Times will do the trick. The optics are so important to Joe Biden, he droned an innocent family to project the optics of “toughness.”
After the terrorist attack in Kabul that killed thirteen US service members, Joe Biden, when he eventually peeked out from his hidey-hole, played the tough guy. Plagiarizing a bit from former President George W. Bush, old Joe read:
”To those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay. I will defend our interests and our people with every measure at my command.”
Three days after Biden made this tough-guy vow (cribbed from George W. Bush), and the same day Joe and Jill went to Dover Air Force Base for the dignified transfer ceremony, there was a drone strike in Kabul.
Shortly after the strike, US CENTCOM spokesman Captain Bill Urban released a statement saying, in part:
“U.S. military forces conducted a self-defense unmanned over-the-horizon airstrike today on a vehicle in Kabul, eliminating an imminent ISIS-K threat to Hamad Karzai International airport.” more
Doing what the military always does (lately) delegate blame to the lowest rank possible. Some poor E-3 will be going to Leavenworth.
Life is cheap to the left. Especially OUR lives.
Genocide is always the left’s goal.
The actions he’s taking against Americans aren’t much better.
The very fact that the NYT is putting this out is telling. They are the propaganda arm of the Progressive movement and the Democrat machine in particular. This signals the opening move in the replacement of this malignant piece of subhuman shit as figurehead of the illegitimate malAdministration with….
It won’t be the tramp, that’s for sure and for certain.
Trump has a drone strike take out a very dangerous Iranian general and the left acts like he bombed a kindergarten.
Biden has a drone strike that targets an innocent family and the left celebrates what a strong leader we have.
JDHasty, Big Mike?
Joey Blusterboy Biden takes out nearly an entire family to distract from the Afghanistan Catastrophe and none of this means anything to his supporters. By all accounts, this was nothing more than a Wag the Dog display to distract the media prior to the Dover Air Base transfer of other victims of his stupidity. I’m fairly sure Sixty Minutes won’t include a segment on this horrible incident.
I used to be afraid of removing Beijing Beideng from office because of the next in line. But I now believe that she is so reviled and irrelevant that she would be nothing more than a placeholder until a REAL adult was elected POTUS.
Impeach or Article 25 Biteme, I don’t care. Just get rid of him!!
Luckily Biden didn’t bomb the Americans who he abandoned in Afghanistan. Although the fate they may face is horrendous.
Biden got one thing right: “WE will not forgive, WE will not forget his blundering, arrogance, concern of the media perception, utter incompetence, the deaths Biden caused, the families of our service members whose sons were murdered, American citizens abandoned, his disrespect as the Bodies of our 11 Marines and Army Soldier and a Navy Corpsman were returned to Dover AFB. Not to mention the inept CIA, NSA, Milley, Austin & Blinken.
There were no successes, ONLY FAILURES.
Biden and his lackeys own them all.
@JDHasty: “The very fact that the NYT is putting this out is telling. They are the propaganda arm of the Progressive movement and the Democrat machine in particular.”
Yes, quite telling.
As observed by Sundance at the treehouse, in general when it comes to deep state leaks, CNN is fed by the State Dept, New York Times by the FBI, and Washington Post by the CIA. All three are happy to bash Trump, the U.S.A., deplorables, and capitalism, while boosting commies, socialists, antifa, BLM, and anybody who badmouths our country.
I (very mildly) disapprove of the use of “droned” as the verb here. More accurately, the POTATUS 𝙢𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 them. That he did it by mistake is no excuse; in fact, that makes it an even worse crime.
“Mistake” my ass.
izlamo delenda est …
We now know who ISIS-K is.
Innocent families.
Good optics require excellent timing. When Biden made his revenge remarks following the awful suicide bombing, he was announcing his order to the military (Austin & Milley) that something had to happen FAST. The Hellfire attack would not have happened without pressure from the top. They then all lied about the resulting civilian carnage.
This act makes Biden, Austin and Milley, War Criminals according to accepted international definition.
A police officer makes a mistake and accidentally used her pistol and shoots someone instead of tazing them, and she is charged with two counts of manslaughter (how can one person have two charges of manslaughter of one victim?). Biden “mistakenly” wipes out an entire family and nothing happens. Maybe if that police officer announces that she is a Democrat she will walk.
Biden couldnt care less. Pelosi either. Say, where are the great McConnells and McCarthys?
Continuing GOP garbage. They’re as poisonous as Biden.
JD
if not GWB’s girl “CamelToe” who?
Joe
They are criminals; but they are and. in the case of Austin and Joe , have been DEEP STATE for decades. Austin was Deep State when only a Col!
Does Loser O’Patience have a kill list to pick from like Barky McDronestrike?
If the Taliban were half as good at propaganda as the media claim they would give this victim of Biden’s hubris a state funeral and put up a monument to his and his family members. Then invite all the regional dictatorships to come to the unveiling. It could be quite a foreign policy fiasco for this regime.
They’ll find a lower-level officer to pin this on. A major or lower rank will do. A white man, of course. A woman or a minority person will not do.
The vile left’s twisted philosophy and creeds exhorts that ALL HUMAN LIFE is expendable.
