WH cannot get it together explaining their Afghanistan screwup as Kabul falls to Taliban

Saigon (L);  Kabul (R)
Biden claimed there would be no comparison between these events

While so-called President Joe Biden hangs out at Camp David watching "Petticoat Junction" re-runs and licking his chocolate chip Ben and Jerry's cone, Afghanistan is going to hell in a Whole Foods bag as the Taliban meticulously takes over the country in fewer hours than Secretary of State Antony Blinken predicted would be in days. 

The Biden-Harris-Obama-Jarrett-AOC administration was slammed on Sunday for apparently exposing CIA operations in Qatar to deflect from his cluster-frack he created in Afghanistan and the enormous victory won by the scumcrumpets of the Taliban [pronounced "Tahleebahn" by Biden and Obama and others who want to impress you with the sound of words rather than deeds].

In an attempt to pacify the public to Co-President Biden's non-response to the Blitzkrieg of Afghanistan, the White House brain trust posted an ostensibly "recent" photo of Sleepy Joe sitting alone in a conference room at Camp David Sunday morning while on vacation.

 The White House tweeted with the photo.

"This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul." 

But the photo, likely sent out by their communications department, only brought about more condemnation as two separate screens on the monitor had labels: "CIA" and "Doha Station," a likely secret American outpost in Doha.  

National Review's Jim Geraghty caught the image and tweeted:

Heck of a job, White House communications shop. I figure you would want to crop out the teleconference screens labe… https://t.co/grWKo4LDDJ— Jim Geraghty (@Jim Geraghty)1629055773.0
Were there any other problems?

So the idiots in the White House probably exposed CIA operations in Doha along with the faces of the operators involved there and could easily get them killed. But it didn't end there. Others on social media saw interesting discrepancies [aka problems] with the photo.

The clocks above the teleconference screens, giving the current time in major cities across different time zones, were incorrect. The clocks indicated a 3-hour time difference between London and Moscow but at this time of year, there is only a 2-hour difference, meaning that the photo isn't recent because Russia no longer observes DST--it ended in 2014. But Biden did take a trip to Camp David before DST went into effect this spring.

As far as Biden's decision to pull out all support for the Afghan struggle, experts strongly criticize him over the mess he has made. And it's important to remember, not one American has been killed in Afghanistan since February 8th of 2020. Chicago and New York City are far more dangerous.

For example, David Adesnik, Senior Fellow and Director of Research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), noted in FDD’s bimonthly Biden administration foreign policy tracker that “even though, as vice president, Joe Biden saw how the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq led to the rise of the Islamic State as well as tremendous suffering for the Iraqi people, he appears not to have prepared for similar risks in Afghanistan.”

And world leaders are speaking out against Biden's thoughtless decision, a decision that was not supported by his advisors. 

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson shared his disappointment with Afghanistan's current security debacle and he pins the blame squarely on the shoulders of Biden and the United States, saying that it was "fair to say the US decision to pull out has accelerated things, but this has in many ways been a chronicle of an event foretold." He also urged western leaders to work in concert to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a "breeding ground for terrorism."

"I think it is very important that the West should work collectively to get over to that new government - be it by the Taliban or anybody else - that nobody wants Afghanistan once again to be a breeding ground for terror and we don't think it is in the interests of the people of Afghanistan that it should lapse back into that pre-2001 status," Johnson told Sky News.

It seems that Joe Biden continues to fulfill the words of Robert Gates on the president's foreign policy and national security:

"I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

Biden has even removed the U.S. contractors who could have helped the Afghan Air Force stand up against the Taliban so the country is left with nothing to defend themselves with in the air because they cannot repair the aircraft without technical support from the contractors.

As of this post, 7 people have died hanging onto jets after takeoff as they tried to flee the torn country. 

Biden said that it would not be another Saigon and he is correct: it's much worse.
