As we mourn the losses of American servicemembers today
in Kabul, please keep this in mind: They would not be dead if Joe Biden had not
chosen to pull American forces out of Afghanistan.
The number of deaths today in Afghanistan is greater than
the entire number of Americans who died there in 2020. They mark the first
service deaths in Afghanistan since February 2020. The change here was the
deliberate and conscious decision to “end a war” in which Americans were not
suffering combat casualties.
The status quo held. And then Joe Biden, in between licks
of his ice cream cones, heedlessly and vaingloriously smashed it to bits. He
wanted to be the bringer of peace; he is instead the bringer of chaos. And we
haven’t seen anything yet.
