SCOTT JOHNSON Powerline
STRANDED/NOT STRANDED, CONT’D Joe Biden and his administration want to move on from the epic humiliation of the United States that it engineered in Afghanistan. It sought to move on even while the humiliation was in process. The lack of a sense of shame has proved key to the persistence of Biden and administration officials throughout. Our humiliation is sure to be compounded in the coming days as news emerges of those we left behind and of those we brought out. Yesterday, for example, the AP published Kathy Gannon’s story “Those left in Afghanistan complain of broken US promises.” We know we left behind American citizens, but we also left behind those with visas and green cards, among others who should have been brought out. Gannon opens her story: Even in the final days of Washington’s chaotic airlift in Afghanistan, Javed Habibi was getting phone calls from the U.S. government promising that the green card holder from Richmond, Virginia, his wife and their four daughters would not be left behind. He was told to stay home and not worry, that they would be evacuated. Late Monday, however, his heart sank as he heard that the final U.S. flights had left Kabul’s airport, followed by the blistering staccato sound of Taliban gunfire, celebrating what they saw as their victory over America. “They lied to us,” Habibi said of the U.S. government. He is among hundreds of American citizens and green card holders stranded in the Afghan capital. -read more at Powerline Joe Biden Is Lying To Americans About Afghanistan John Lucas, The Federalist Fitful 48 Hours for Americans, Afghans Trying to Escape Susan Crabtree, RCP Subscribe and never miss a cartoon - choose freer weekly catch ups, or daily updates with an insider scoop, plus discounts and more.
