Biden's plans, if you can call them that, to get Americans out of Afghanistan have been an epic disaster.
The fact is, he really had no choice, after the Taliban rejected the U.S. plea, calling the Aug. 31 deadline for withdrawal a "Red line." The U.S. president did what the Taliban told him to do.
Adding insult to injury, Biden told our allies that the U.S. "Won't be able to get everyone out of Afghanistan," according to Bloomberg.
Late in the day, facing a barrage of criticism from all quarters, Biden appeared to abruptly change tack, calling for "Contingency plans" for lengthening the withdrawal, whatever that means.
Even the Biden administration admits it doesn't know how many Americans are even there.
They've been moving forward on other things, even as they criticize and distance themselves from the increasingly isolated, politically damaged and mentally failing Biden.
While the rest of us worry about the utter implosion of U.S. foreign policy, the loss of our prestige and power around the world, and the tragedy of the Afghan people and Americans trapped in Kabul, Democrats in Congress have had their eyes on the real prize.
