Joe Biden groveling as Taliban calls the shots

The Taliban declared that no more Afghans should go to the Kabul airport, that those already there should leave and then they shut the main airport road. For all practical purposes, those words and actions ended the mercy mission of getting our ­allies out.

Even more unforgivable, by agreeing to the Taliban's demand that he stick to his own initial deadline of Aug. 31 for the withdrawal of all troops, Biden shows he is willing to strand thousands of Americans behind enemy lines.

The crisis at the airport has been building for more than a week, but Biden still had a chance to adapt by moving the deadline back so the evacuation could be completed.

When he finally appeared shortly after 5 p.m., Biden first started talking about infrastructure and voting-law initiatives working their way through Congress.

The move renders as lies Biden's many promises to get all Americans out of the country.

Coming on the eve of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Biden's bad judgment and poor leadership have undercut the heroes who prevented Afghanistan from again becoming a safe haven for other terrorist attacks on ­America.

Still, Biden didn't react until the evacuation became impossible, then he started sending more troops into Kabul.
