State Department officials in the Kabul embassy told the Biden administration last month that the Afghan capital would fall and to speed up evacuations, a new report claims.A dozen diplomats sent a confidential memo in a dissent channel to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on July 13 that the Taliban was rapidly gaining ground and the city was vulnerable to collapse, the Wall Street Journal reported.On July 8, President Biden said it was 'highly unlikely' the Taliban would take control of Afghanistan

It seems that much of what Biden has done is motivated by a lust to reverse everything Trump did. There is little thought of real consequences, just an idea that everything Trump did was dumb and wrong. But now Biden finds out that there is a real world out there, real consequences.

To carry that further, #1, surely State and Defense saw the good in the Trump policies. Coupled with their own assessments and intelligence.
I think they were overruled by the “CIC.” But it begs the question: why don’t they resign in protest? His irrational dementia HAS to show in tight security meetings.
Nothing makes sense.

I always knew Biden was a stupid jerk, but I didn’t realize all the people around him are just as stupid.

The catastrophe has happened, whether warned on Aug 1, or at any other time. Leadership is looking at what is, and doing the best that can be done now. The past is past.

Sooner or later these camel drivers will decide to down a C17 on final approach or on departure full of people. What do you do then? Under Klown 1 what you have is the Alamo or Corregidor in 1942. Nobody is coming to the rescue.

Biden is just taking up where Hillary left off in Benghazi. "What difference does it make now?" They have no concern about anyone but themselves, their power, their money, their families. The MSM can't hide Biden's true colors anymore. He is not only a sleazy crook but is also totally incompetent and I am not talking about his dementia. He was not qualified to run for the highest office in America in the first place. The MSM lied about him over and over again. I blame them for this entire fiasco.

Lefties believe that a racist and sexist America must be re-imagined and globalized. Great care and planning has gone into every one of Biden's 'disasters'.
There is also great personal profit in selling out America.

Between Blinken and Biden the only working brain cell you might find would be in a fly buzzing around their heads. Hopefully the US Diplomats working in Kabul also voted for the failure that they are now enduring.

#4, rational people across the world are looking at this failure and most of us see that it was preventable. I doubt if any kind of "leadership" is looking at fixing it because first they would have to admit that there is a problem and democrats just do not do that. Even if fifty thousand troops are sent back in with proper air and ground support, thousands of people are going to die.

#2 Do you really think so? I'm old, have been following the news since the Bush/Gore election and I don't remember reading much about how State and Defense love this country and always try to do what is best for it. Especially State Dept. has been a nest of vipers for years and no one was able to clean it out. Defense Dept. probably the same.
