We have two major crises spiraling into disaster
And our two top leaders are MIA and seemingly clueless on how to master
Might be somewhat unfair to call Harris on illegal aliens’ tidal wave as MIA
Delaying any action so she could find “root causes” a nonacceptance of her role
to display
On Biden and Afghanistan and the Taliban threat he was without a clue
With a paper strength of 300,000 and
billions of equipment he could only have a Pollyanna view
Assured the nation without any basis in fact that it was highly unlikely that the
Taliban was coming back
Probably never heard from his troops that the will to fight the Taliban the
Afghan forces lacked
Evidently could not comprehend that when our air power pulled out in the dark
of night
That an Afghan soldier who would face beheading without us no longer in the
fight
Would against the Taliban evaporate like a puddle in Death Valley on an August
day
So quickly that nothing in front of the Taliban would stand in their way
From platitudes of 90 days to 30 days to 72 hours
To this moment as the Taliban into Kabul powered
The Afghan president not wanting to join the ranks who would lose their heads
Cowardly packed his bags to desert his nation and today has fled
And the 20,000 or so Afghans who fought and assisted our troop alongside
We due to delay in moving them out from a vengeful Taliban many will soon have
died
Thousands of lives wounded and lost and trillions of dollars spent
Who among our foes and allies will not believe now that America’s word is not worth two
cents?
Biden and Jill with a crutch returned to Camp David to enhance the charade
That our clueless CIC is on top of the disaster as we watch the Taliban victory
parade
The only silver lining which sadly is a lining very, very thin
With embassy closed we won’t see a conga line on the roof trying to in choppers
flee from Taliban’s walkover win
