Turning on Their Own


Is this just the beginning? The beginning of the liberal main stream media and Democrat politicians turning on their own – their own President and his inane and inept handling of the crisis in Afghanistan.

From CNN:

Nine members of one family were killed in a US drone strike targeting a vehicle in a residential neighborhood of Kabul, according to a relative of those killed. Those killed included six children, the youngest being a 2-year-old girl, the brother of one of the dead told a local journalist working with CNN.  The brother cried as he told the journalist that they were “an ordinary family.”

From Marc Thiessen, Washington Post, 8/30/21:

“Americans have been told that the fall of Kabul took the Biden administration by surprise, creating a situation — completely beyond our control — where the United States had to depend on the Taliban for security in the Afghan capital as the U.S. military conducted the evacuation.

That tale turns out to be untrue. The Post reports that the Taliban offered to allow the U.S. military to take responsibility for security in Kabul — but we declined. In other words, our dependence on the Taliban for security in Kabul was not a fait accompli, but a choice — an American choice.”

Again from Marc Thiessen on Twitter:

“Taliban offered to stay out of Kabul and let US forces secure the city. We told them we only needed the airport. We could have controlled the airport and Kabul and evacuated everyone but chose not to. The incompetence is stunning.”

Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ), wrote in a lengthy Twitter thread on Saturday that he has been working diligently to get U.S. citizens and green card holders into the airport, but he has not been able to do so.

Kim wrote in part:

“They were outside one of the airport gates. They begged for someone to come out and get them. … They have little kids and were concerned by the chaos surrounding them. But they didn’t want to leave because they were mere feet from reaching safety on the other side of the airport wall.

Within minutes of receiving this request, I happened to be meeting in person with one of the most senior officials at the State Dept. … I asked directly for a phone number American citizens can call if in an emergency like this family stuck at the gate. If I could get a number I planned to excuse myself from the meeting and immediately send it to the family at the gate. I was told no such number exists.”

So within twenty-four hours the liberal CNN, the liberal WAPO, and a Democrat from the House all ragging on various aspects of the Biden screw-up. How much longer before this rivulet turns into a tidal wave?
