CNN’s Jake Tapper on Afghanistan:
"[Biden] keeps trying to change the subject from this inept withdrawal. Let’s be frank here, if you withdraw 2,500 troops then you have to send 6,000 back, that’s not planned. That’s on it's face an example of a failure.”

CNN Chris Cillizza - Joe Biden is facing a crisis of competence
Seven months into his first term, however, Biden is faced with nothing short of a crisis of that competence, beset on a number of fronts with developments that it appears all of his experience and know-how didn't prevent.
The glaring example is, of course, the rapid takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban in the wake of Biden's decision to pull American troops out of the country.
.
.
.
The overwhelming message? The situation was totally and completely out of control -- and neither Biden nor his top foreign policy advisers could stop it.
While the crisis in Afghanistan is front and center in this reexamining of Biden's competence argument, it's far from the only data point in that conversation.
Remember back in May, Biden announced that the CDC had said vaccinated people no longer needed to wear masks indoors -- a development he described as a "great milestone?" Just two months later, however, Biden was forced to reverse himself amid a surge in cases caused by the Delta variant.
And while Biden was congratulating himself and the country this spring on the number of people who had been vaccinated against Covid-19, his administration came up short of its oft-stated goal of 70% of eligible adults with at least one shot of the vaccine by July 4.
.
.
.
But there's no question that the dominant narrative of the late spring -- the Biden administration's competent management of a nationwide vaccine program and the retreat of the virus -- has taken a major hit.
Then there is the border. Arrests of those attempting to cross illegally at the US's southern border hit a two-decade high last month. Alejandro Mayorkas, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, admitted late last week that the US is facing a "serious challenge" at the border
.
.
.
"The Biden administration has been caught between expressing compassion toward migrants and relying heavily on deterring those journeying to the US southern border. As a result, the border situation remains a political liability for the White House that is drawing criticism from both the left and the right."
.
.
.
at the moment, chaos is winning over competence. And that is a major problem for Biden and his administration.

FLASHBACK: Osama bin Laden wanted to assassinate then-President Barack Obama so that the "totally unprepared" Joe Biden would take over as president and plunge the United States "into a crisis."

WATCH: CNN Shows One Broken Promise After Another in Devastating Takedown of Biden Presidency
This is some of the strongest criticism that CNN has ever shown towards a Democratic president.
CNN has turned on Joe Biden. The pro-Democrat news network has lurched into negative coverage of the Biden administration in a manner not seen since the Trump presidency in the 2020 election aftermath.
On Monday, the news network dissected every broken promise on Afghanistan made by Biden on the campaign trail and during his presidency.

The pitchforks keep coming
Wolf Blitzer - President Biden now says he doesn't know how the U.S. could have withdrawn from Afghanistan "without chaos ensuing." But on July 8th, he said "the likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely."

A portion of his interview with Stephenopolis
https://t.me/BoldSpearElmerFudd/39627
What a buffoon
In his first interview since the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, "President" Biden stood firm in his defense of the United States' withdrawal, but asserted for the first time that he believes the chaos was unavoidable.
"So you don't think this could have been handled -- this exit could have been handled better in any way, no mistakes?"abc news gstephanopoulos asked Biden.
"No, I don't think it could have been handled in a way that, we're gonna go back in hindsight and look -- but the idea that somehow, there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens. I don't know how that happened," Biden replied.
“So for you, that was always priced into the decision?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"Yes," Biden replied.

Yeah Bam
When the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, The Atlantic, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC... (Need I go on?) hold a Democrat President accountable, you know it is bad. The Liberal Media has jumped ship.
"BUFFOON" is an understatement!

On ABC - ABC’s Jonathan Karl: “This remains very much a disaster…[Biden] is saying things that simply do not comport with reality...When he says 'every American can get to that airport, there hasn’t been an issue with that,' that doesn’t comport with the reality”
