First, Biden helped the Taliban replace the duly elected government of Afghanistan.
Then he gifted the Taliban with Bagram Air Base.
Then he gifted the Taliban with $90 billion in cash and top-notch military equipment.
He left thousands of Americans and green-card holders behind, at the mercy of a cut-throat government of vigilantes and terrorists.
And now, Biden is rebooting what he wrongly dismissed as the forever war. He has begun bombing Afghanistan again -- without authorization from Congress and without the permission of the Taliban government.
The Military Times reported, "When U.S. Central Command authorizes strikes against groups like ISIS-K or al Qaida in Afghanistan, they won’t be negotiating with the Taliban about where and when they can drop bombs.
"While the U.S. generally negotiates agreements with countries where it conducts strikes, the Pentagon considers Afghanistan essentially a free space, following the collapse of its elected government in August."
Bombing a country is an act of war.
The Military Times said, "Force protection measures will be built into any strikes, he added, should the Taliban choose to try to shoot down an unmanned aerial vehicle or other aircraft."
So we will shoot the Taliban if they use our guns to shoot at us.
This is a nightmare. DC hailed Biden as this experienced diplomat who knew what he was doing. Instead of methodically withdrawing Americans, our Afghan friends, and our equipment, Biden just yanked our military people out.
