Introduction
by David Horowitz and Daniel Greenfield
Joseph R. Biden is directly responsible for the worst, most
humiliating, most dangerous – yet completely avoidable – defeat in the
history of American warfare. He has betrayed the country that elected
him and that he is sworn to serve. Yet Biden has shown no remorse and
taken no responsibility for the damage he has done. Instead, he has
brazenly lied and called his own disaster a “success.”
Every tyrant and terrorist watched the humiliating retreat from Afghanistan and knew we were weak.
false
None of that was a coincidence.
Biden has weakened our military while arming and empowering terrorists.
He has emboldened Iran, China, and Russia leading to threats and
conflicts around the world.
The question is, what will Republicans do about it?
Republicans are favored to take the House and even the Senate in the
upcoming elections. If they do, will they hold Biden and his cabinet
members and military leaders accountable? Or, just like Benghazi and so
many other betrayals, will they back away instead of confronting the
culprits and beginning America’s climb back to greatness.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not going to resign. Will Republicans
have the guts to impeach them over decisions that were so bad that
former British prime minister and staunch American ally Tony Blair has
called them “imbecilic”? (No former head of state has ever used such an
extreme – but accurate – term to describe the decisions of an American
president.)
Biden is not going to fire the generals who should have gone to the
wall to oppose his brainless decisions and resigned when they failed to
reverse them. Will Republicans call for their firing?
The Taliban held a victory parade to display the American military
equipment that Biden simply abandoned and left for them to take. These
weapons include Black Hawk helicopters, thousands of armored vehicles,
and countless numbers of assault rifles.[1]
Enough to arm numerous terrorist groups all over the world. There’s no
telling how many Americans or allies these weapons will kill.
Thanks to Biden’s lack of interest in American security and as a
consequence of his decisions, the Taliban now control nine air bases
including one at Bagram, which we spent hundreds of millions of dollars
turning into a state-of-the-art complex. [2]
Adjoining Bagram was the country’s largest prison which housed
thousands of Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS-K prisoners who have been
unleashed to kill more innocents. Those nine air bases will now become
assets not only for the Taliban, but for China, Iran, Pakistan, and
other Taliban allies.
Massive amounts of intel data have also fallen into enemy hands. The
Taliban are using hand-held biometric scanners to hunt down and kill
former American allies. And the Chinese and other enemy intel officers
that go over what we left behind will learn a lot about American methods
and neutralize the technical advantages America once had on the
battlefield. There were thousands of state-of-the-art night vision
goggles left in Afghanistan. These provided a decisive military
advantage to the Afghan government forces allowing them to see at night
while the Taliban could not. Now the Taliban and every terrorist group
with access to its vast store of American loot will share that
advantage.[3]
An American president and commander-in-chief loyal to his country and
its citizens would never have made the decisions that Joe Biden did,
which have put the lives of all Americans at risk. A loyal general staff
would never have gone along with them. A decent set of leaders would
have hung their heads in shame at the result of their decisions and been
grateful that treason is no longer punished by firing squads, and then
departed political and military life forever.
The first days of Biden’s misbegotten term in office should have warned
everyone of what was to come when he began surrendering American
interests to our enemies. Thus, the Biden administration scuttled the
Trump administration probe into the Chinese lab origins of the
coronavirus pandemic. Worse still, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the
likely source of the lab leak, has once again become potentially
eligible for taxpayer funding.[4]
While President Trump designated China’s persecution of Muslims as
genocide, Biden squeamishly told CNN, “Culturally, there are different
norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow.”[5]
Under Biden, genocide and terrorism have become cultural norms that we are bound to accept.
Biden not only desperately pursued a renewal of the suicidal nuclear
deal with Iran, he allowed the Islamic terrorist state to receive
billions. He also ended the campaign against Iran’s Houthi terrorists in
Yemen whose motto is, “Death to America,” and who had fired missiles at
the USS Mason.
America’s enemies read these gifts as proof of America’s weakness under
the leadership of an American coward who as Vice President had been the
lone vote against killing Osama bin Laden and who had abandoned Iraq to
ISIS.
The Taliban knew they had nothing to fear from Biden so they tested him
by offering to let America control Kabul. Instead of protecting our
withdrawal and exit, Biden declined their offer – an act so suicidal it
was itself worthy of impeachment. He let the Taliban take Kabul and
surround the airport to provide security, with deadly consequences to 13
American military personnel as well as Afghan civilians.
Al Qaeda’s allies, the Haqqani Network, controlled the checkpoints and
surrounded the Kabul airport. American refugees trying to reach the
airport were beaten by these terrorist thugs who didn’t let them get to
the airport but opened the door for ISIS-K to come bearing rockets,
machine guns, and suicide bomb vests. That’s how the thirteen brave
Americans were murdered in Kabul.
And these decisions seemed not to be absent-minded mistakes, but calculated and deliberate.
Thus, in advance of the coming evacuation, Secretary of State Antony
Blinken scrapped the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau created by
Trump to evacuate Americans. He invited the terrorist-supporting UN to
investigate American “systemic racism” while abandoning our people to
the real systemic racism of the Taliban.
The Biden administration is a disloyal government that over and over
has genuflected to America’s enemies and betrayed the American people,
endangering their lives and the security of the nation. But while the
whole Democrat Party goes along with these anti-America policies and the
catastrophes they create, instead of holding them to account Republican
leaders are playing their usual feckless roles, wasting their
opportunity to nail the incompetent and disloyal president, along with
his entire rotten administration to the wall.
Thus, House Minority Leader McCarthy has refused to move forward on Biden’s impeachment.
McCarthy admitted that the Afghanistan rout was “probably the biggest
failure in American government on a military stage in my lifetime.”
“Probably”? McCarthy also called for “accountability.”[6]
But what kind of accountability does he have in mind if he won’t hammer
home the horrific actions Biden has taken? And what kind of
accountability is he seeking if he won’t move to remove Biden and his
enablers from office?
Every Republican should be shouting “Impeach Biden! Impeach Harris!
Impeach Blinken, Pelosi and Schumer!” Also: “Court Martial the Joint
Chiefs of Staff!” who were busy imposing Critical Race Theory on the
troops and witch-hunting conservatives in the ranks, when they should
have been planning the Afghanistan retreat.
Many Republicans, including their leaders, who don’t understand the
political war that Democrats are waging against them, think this is a
bad idea. They think: even if Biden could be impeached, that would leave
America in the cackling grip of President Kamala Harris. This is the
type of thinking that accounts for the passivity of Republicans while
Democrats are always fighting an aggressive war against them.
Nancy Pelosi spent four years attempting to impeach Trump on
transparently bogus charges. Did this hurt Democrat polling despite its
embarrassments, or did it help Democrat efforts to tar and feather
Republicans and increase Democrat support? Nancy Pelosi is not going to
impeach Biden or anyone else. But the American people need to hear what
these Democrats are guilty of and calling for their impeachment is the
way to do it. Impeach them for betraying the American people,
endangering their lives and the lives of their children. This is how
Democrats would conduct their political war if the roles were reversed.
Republicans need to wake up and take the war to the enemy camp.
Meanwhile, as Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy sleeps, American patriots are on the move.
Dozens of flag officers have signed a letter by “Flag Officers 4
America” calling on Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley to resign.
Republican leaders did nothing to protect some of our finest officers,
like Lt. Colonel Matt Lohmeier, from being sacrificed on the altar of
critical race theory when the incompetent military brass fired them.
Will they re-think the costs of their silence?
Where are the GOP leaders willing to fight for our soldiers and our
nation by taking the fight to Biden, to his cronies and stooges, from
Kamala Harris to Lloyd Austin, Anthony Blinken, and Mark Milley? What’s
House Minority Leader McCarthy risking? A few corporate donations? The
respect of the D.C. establishment?
Joseph R. Biden is the worst president and the worst human being to
ever occupy the White House. Patriots should never forget this, and
never let Americans forget as well. Afghanistan is a holograph of
America’s future if Democrat policies prevail. It fell because of the
treachery of the Democrat Party in selecting a dementia case and
judgment-challenged politician to be president. Afghanistan fell because
of the lack of patriotic concern by the entire Biden White House and
the military chiefs, the lack of concern for the welfare of the people,
the first responsibility of those who hold these offices. The military
chiefs who are a product of Barack Obama’s politicized military were
busily pushing a Marxist ideology on their troops – one that indicts
America as a hopelessly racist country – while the Taliban terrorists
were preparing their victory march to Kabul.
Americans who love this country need to heed the call to defend it
because the hour is late and the nation they love is under attack.
