- GELLER REPORT - STAFF - FEB 3, 2022 -
A disaster. How does one even begin to describe how catastrophic the Biden Administrations feckless foreign policy is? And we still have three years left of this madness. That’s a long time for the world to be destabilized. Keep in mind that President Carters worst foreign policy disasters occurred in late 1979, when he only had a little over a year left in his presidency. You can bet that America’s adversaries are going to exploit the weak Biden Administrations incompetence and unpopularity over the next three years. Very dangerous times.
Biden and the democrats have achieved what no foreign adversary ever could.
Scoop: Leaked document reveals Biden’s Afghan failures
By Axios, February 2, 2022
Leaked notes from a White House Situation Room meeting the day before Kabul fell shed new light on just how unprepared the Biden administration was to evacuate Afghan nationals who’d helped the United States in its 20-year war against the Taliban.
Why it matters: Hours before the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan’s capital on Aug. 15, 2021, senior Biden administration officials were still discussing and assigning basic actions involved in a mass civilian evacuation.
Outsiders were frustrated and suspicious the administration was having plenty of meetings but was stuck in bureaucratic inertia and lacked urgency until the last minute.
While the word “immediately” peppers the document, it’s clear officials were still scrambling to finalize their plans — on the afternoon of Aug. 14.
For example, they’d just decided they needed to notify local Afghan staff “to begin to register their interest in relocation to the United States,” the document says.
And they were still determining which countries could serve as transit points for evacuees.
The big picture: President Biden was determined to end the country’s involvement in its longest war, and last April he announced his plans to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021.
President Trump had previously cut a deal for a U.S. withdrawal by May 2021.
Biden’s approval ratings still haven’t recovered from the chaotic scenes of those final moments, with Afghans falling to their death from military transports and a suicide blast that killed 13 U.S. service members and scores of Afghans outside the gates of Hamid Karzai airport.
The Atlantic reported this week that thousands of vulnerable Afghans remain stuck in bureaucratic hell, terrified the Taliban they fought for years will hunt them down.
Later this month, Congress will name members to a bipartisan, 12-person commission that will study the war and issue a report similar to the 9/11 Commission.
The details: Axios obtained the NSC’s “summary of conclusions” for a meeting of the so-called Deputies Small Group.
