The beginning of the end of Joe Biden’s presidency arrived in August 2021.
That’s when the president began a catastrophic pullout from Afghanistan that shredded our national credibility and his own reputation. He never really recovered.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee has just released an exhaustive 353-page report putting on record the sorry episode from beginning to end.
The report’s over-arching conclusion is that this was a Joe Biden operation from beginning to end.
He insisted on the withdrawal despite ample warnings from all sides, with the bull-headed stubbornness of someone who is often wrong but never in doubt.
To paraphrase Lincoln, Biden was the author and the finisher of the debacle in Afghanistan.
