The flailing Biden campaign put out a press release accusing Obama of being a "Johnny-come-lately" who had belatedly adopted Biden's push for "Significantly increasing reconstruction assistance" and sending more American soldiers to Afghanistan.
While running for president, Biden had based his entire foreign policy around sending more troops to Afghanistan.
Biden attacked not only Democrat rivals like Obama, but also President Bush, for not wanting to send more troops to Afghanistan.
By the 2020 primaries, Biden had completely reinvented his entire history with Afghanistan.
"The superhighway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan where my helicopter was forced down. John McCain wants to know where bin Laden and the gates of Hell are? I can tell him where. That's where Al Qaida is. That's where bin Laden is," Biden claimed at a fundraiser.
After taking credit for selling Obama on an Afghan surge, Biden rebranded as a skeptic of sending more troops to Afghanistan.
"If we fail in Afghanistan, we are going to be talking about, in my view, a country seven times as big, with nuclear weapons sitting on one border, and a country that is, in its present security leadership, hostile to the United States on another border, with more than seven times, probably-I guess it's probably 14 to 15 times the population, seeking nuclear weapons," Biden argued at one Senate hearing in favor of expanding military forces in Afghanistan.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
