SHOULD BIDEN RESIGN AFTER AFGHANISTAN?
SHOULD BIDEN RESIGN AFTER AFGHANISTAN?
Decades ago there was a blockbuster bestseller called “The Peter Principle” by Lawrence Peter. The book made people uncomfortable because it emphasized a profound but painful principle: people tend to advance based on their success in previous positions until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent.
President Truman said, “The buck stops here.” And as the most powerful military in the world sneaked out of Afghanistan at night and with cap in hand beseeched terrorists to give us more time, recognize reality: Joe needs to go and his dismal 40% approval underscores it. Millions worldwide affirm he’s incapable of executing the demands of the most powerful position on the planet.
Joe is not a problem solver; he’s ineffective, incompetent, inarticulate, diminished (struggling with dementia?) and harming America. We’ve observed correctly that he’s not “driving the bus;” he’s an enabler for progressive left Democrats.
He has the lightest schedule of any president in history and is embarrassing, bumbling through tele-prompted speeches making serious errors. Clint Eastwood said it best: “A man’s gotta’ know his limitations.”
Leaders do resign. Nixon. Cuomo. Sarah Palin. Gorbachev. Tony Blair. Pope Benedict…
Afghanistan is the latest in a string of disastrous decisions–like the avalanche of nearly a million foreign nationals freely walking into America this year, resulting in chaos and a tragic humanitarian crisis that also shouldn’t be happening. He single-handedly obliterated our border security after years of others’ work getting things under control.
A Senator called Afghanistan “an unmitigated disaster of epic proportion’s.” NATO leaders, newspapers (Times, WSJ, Post), liberal pundits and celebrities all castigated Biden. Former UK P.M. Tony Blair said “imbecilic” as their former Afghanistan military commander called for Biden to be court marshaled!
Absorb the Consequences
Overnight Afghanistan became a terrorist haven for all jihadists. Former CIA Director, David Petraeus, warned not to do it as Biden did and now tries to spin it positively. Thousands of Americans and loyal partners are in harms way as Jen Psaki, said “anyone who wants to get out can get out” (but few can get to the airport to get out!). He diverts attention to “successful evacuations” ignoring those being slaughtered.
Top brass and Trump established a conditioned withdrawal predicated upon a coalition government retaining a residual “back up” force (Intel, drones and superior air power) similar to South Korea, Japan and Germany. Biden knew better and then blamed everyone but himself as millions worldwide witnessed the colossal collapse.
Bush and Obama had sent troops there to get bin Laden, his henchmen and root out ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Our brave patriots who sacrificed life and limb were successful! Now these maimed veterans join the parents, spouses and children of the dead ones crying, “Why?!”
• Taliban terrorists took control of the country gleefully and grotesquely torturing and executing people (leaked out footage is gut-wrenching); persecuting people of faith; stopping initiatives for women like attending school; and enslaving/raping women and young girls as Taliban “wives.” “America has thrown us to the wolves” cried one Afghan.
• 2000 Taliban criminals with hatred for America are being released from prison. With the tsunami of illegals streaming across our southern border, don’t think there aren’t terrorists in the mix.
• 300,000 pieces of costly American equipment (45 Blackhawk and 50 regular helicopters, sophisticated weapons, drones, Humvees, trucks, tanks and computers) now are in terrorist possession. With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 approaching, they’re back stronger.
Righteous Verdict
700 years ago in Italy a man wrote “Dantes Inferno.” The central character explored divine judgment traveling through nine levels of evil in hell covering greed, lust, anger, violence etc. with the highest level being treachery-betrayal of relationships.
Dante wrote the masterpiece because he was grieved by rich, powerful and deceitful politicians in 12 century Florence who thought they could lead without personal consequences. He knew Jesus taught greater and lesser rewards as well as punishments after giving account to God.
Callous disregard for human beings created in the image of God, whether at the border, in the womb or throughout Afghanistan, requires accountability.
Blood is on Biden’s hands. Millions grieve, feel anger and consider the monumental mistake putting him in office. It’s not malarkey, it’s time for Joe to go. He’s diminished, dangerous and done.

Great article! Thank you! I think that the only decent think for Joe Biden to do at this point is to Resign. However, in addition to that, there is an action that falls under the jurisdiction of other powers to take: Court Martial is the only appropriate action to take with a commander in chief who has committed the highest level of treason and set in motion unthinkable crimes against humanity. The British commander is absolutely Right!
Resign? No let’s think. Biden is president… and also Comm. in Chief of the military. His decision to pull out of Afghanistan and the disaster ongoing including the loss of precious lives means he should be court martialed. Nothing less. No pardons in a c-m. Then follow the trail because there is more people involved in the decision. Many more both internally and externally. If we continue this cover-up game with no justice, America will be lost. There needs to be severe accountability and justice because this is criminal what has happened. And that doesn’t even touch the surface of 83 billion dollars worth of equipment “purposely left behind”.
Absolutely agree, a court martial is right, and should be done! This is beyond “resign!” Kind of think Susan Rice and Obama might be “on that trail,” too.
No doubt they are there. The fact is they are very “quiet” which is a giveaway that they are involved up to their necks.
There was a reason that after about 1.5 years in office as VP, Biden was basically “removed” from public speaking, etc. under Obama. At that time, then prez. Obama didn’t want Joe’s bumbling antics to affect Obama’s “precious poll numbers”.
But the Dems (and that includes former prez. Obama) wanted Joe in place this time. He’s a marionette for them. Afghanistan is probably the greatest screw-up in US history but there are people behind the scenes who both planned this and don’t care. There are many people within our present government and the dem party who have sold their souls to hell. Some RINO’s as well. Biden is disposable to them because they know they have another groomed eggplant called Harris that will fall right in line and do whatever they want. They already have the criminally, corrupt Schumer, Pelosi and a host of others that use their taxpayer funded burner phones to conduct their ongoing schemes. These people have no conscience.
Nixon wasn’t a bad president but he did do something he shouldn’t have done and he knew it. He got caught. And once he was exposed and knew that there was no way out of it, he resigned. People say that he was a disgrace but what he “did (approving Watergate) was disgraceful”. But then he did something honorable in itself – he resigned. That takes some guts, whether we agree or not. There is honor in humility when people admit their wrongful acts and then take the appropriate steps. But resigning, admitting our mistake, accepting responsibility, exposing our criminal actions, etc. is NOWHERE to be found in this present administration. They are too worried about polls, saving face, avoiding responsibility and accountability, etc. In their denial and unbelievable lack of humility, they continue to spin and blame and deflect. And in doing so, America, our citizens, military frontline personnel, Afghans, allies, etc. continue to suffer the serious fallout of such pride and horrible decision making. The lack of dependance and acknowledgement of Almighty God, by the PRESENT leadership (leader word used lightly) of our nation is a grave reflection of how we and they have forgotten God. We will continue to suffer the ramifications of that unless it changes.
This administration has got their priorities so misplaced and so screwed up that the end result is predictable.
*Lord, we ask for your forgiveness for this nation. We have sinned so grievously that you Lord, would be within your right to obliterate us. But we plead to you for mercy and restoration. Your people Lord long for godly leadership that acknowledges you as Lord… that acknowledges that we need you daily… that honors you in every area of our existence. Leadership that isn’t afraid to admit that we need You to guide and help us.
We boldly ask that ungodly, self serving, corrupt and compromised officials would be removed from their positions. Do with them whatever you choose to do Lord. We pray for their salvation and that they would be brought to the end of depending on themselves. We long for and ask for godly, righteous and wise servants to take their place and help to steer our nation back to You Lord. In your holy name we pray amen.
Amen and Amen!
Enough said, Biden needs to go & all those he has aligned himself with. It’s a shame that this man is nothing but a figurehead & a pawn in the hands of the enemy that wants to destroy this nation from the inside out. Father reveal truth. Continue to unravel every strand & expose the evil agenda of the enemy. Protect your people from the plots, plans & schemes of the wicked. Whatever has been plotted against your people, let it backfire on the one who is involved in it. Expose those who have entered our nation illegally with evil intent. Give our military leaders wisdom, counsel & direction. Give wisdom to the governors whose state borders are being used as doorways to terrorism. Give them the strategies to move quickly & act on the behalf of your people in Jesus Name Amen.
