Biden Checked His Watch, And Now He Mourns?

One year ago, thirteen service members were murdered in Afghanistan because of Joe Biden.

One year ago, thirteen U.S. service members were murdered in the final hours of President Biden’s disastrous (and utterly unnecessary) withdrawal from Afghanistan.

A withdrawal that handed the men, women and children of the country back to the Taliban after decades of war, on the deadliest day of the conflict since 2011.

At the time, Biden argued that the deaths were inevitable…mocking the idea that he “could’ve gotten out without anybody being hurt.” Of course, abandoning the Bagram airbase before leaving the city of Kabul — thereby removing air superiority and support — didn’t help.

And who can forget when Biden attended a “dignified transfer” ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware when the bodies of the slain service members were returned to U.S. soil?

Biden was so solemn…he checked his watch.

Did Joe Biden just check his watch? All of this avoidable death boring you, Joe?

But because Biden is a Democrat, the media have thrown this particular event into their irretrievable time capsule of lies, and have enabled Biden to reinvent yet another failure in his ever-growing portfolio.

Today, Biden marked the anniversary of the death of these service members (and dozens of civilians), calling the attack “heinous,” but also managing to pump himself up, celebrating the scale of the so-called rescue effort.

“They were heroes, working to save lives as part of the largest airlift evacuation operation in our history,” Biden said in a statement. An airlift evacuation which was so successful, desperate civilians clung to the last few departing cargo planes and fell to their deaths.

He also found time (while mourning, of course…) to list the various successes of his administration in the face of continued terrorism (ignoring the immediate resurgence of the Taliban in the days following his feckless evacuation of Afghanistan).

Don’t let them fool you for one second.
