Noted foreign policy expert and current “Skeletor” impersonator Joe Biden flexed his extreme cowardice recently when asked about the disaster in Afghanistan. Biden refused to admit that his administration advised him to withdraw in the manner he did.
Even worse, he claimed that 13 Americans died in the withdrawal accident and were therefore inevitable.

This guy gets more sick-looking by the day, doesn’t he? He isn’t healthy and his taut skin, his squinty eyes and his slurred speech don’t indicate a man who deserves to lead the greatest nation in the world. But I digress.
Let’s begin by dissecting Biden’s claim that he was “against” the war in Afghanistan from “the beginning.” That’s not just misleading, it’s an outright lie. He voted in favor of the authorization for force, which started hostilities against Afghanistan. “Fact-checkers” try to massage Biden’s falsehood, one which he’s made repeatedly, by claiming he actually means the 2009 surge, not the initial invasion, but nowhere in the above clip does he make that distinction.
Further, Biden’s claim that no one offered him another way to pull out of Afghanistan that could have avoided the humanitarian disaster that followed, including the deaths of 13 American servicemembers, is another blatant lie. Gen. Kenneth McKenzie testified that he advised the president to keep 2,500 troops in the country to ensure the stability of Afghanistan’s now-former government. Biden also refused to accept a Taliban offer to protect Kabul during the evacuation.
Biden was a bit offended that there weren’t many other options for withdrawing. He now claims that there are no alternatives and that Americans who have died were inevitable. This is a truly horrible piece of commentary.
But it’s par for the course from the “leader of the free world.” As I started the article with, Biden is an absolute coward. He never wants to take responsibility for anything, and he’s even willing to spit on the graves of American service members if it means protecting himself from criticism. If we had a press that actually held him to account, he’d be getting eviscerated for his suggestion, but we don’t have that, so he’s free to lie his head off without consequence.
Joe Biden is not virtuous, despite claims to that contrary by many on the right. He’s a political wimp who has no empathy for the pain and destruction he causes. It’s ghastly to witness at times, and this latest clip is a prime example.
