Impeach Who?
We know from the book of Revelation that bad guys will meet their Maker. Meanwhile, what do we do with Afghanistan, as if God gives us the power?
Republicans filed impeachment articles - not against the president - but Secretary of State Antony (without the h) Blinkin. Over - not the goal - but the shameful way the withdrawal became a crisis evacuation. Why him?
We googled the 59-year-old government figure. He studied at Harvard and Columbia, the same stops many Democrats make enroute to Washington, including Obama. Blinkin also studied in Europe. His late stepfather was a Holocaust survivor.
Over much of the past 30 years he worked for Senator then VP Biden. He admits "we made errors in Iraq - we did too much - and Syria - we didn't do enough."
Maybe, like Goldilocks, he was due to get Afghanistan "just right." Sorry.
As for ISIS initially, he considered them "no threat." We remember President Obama calling ISIS the "jayvees." Well, the junior varsity just killed 13 U.S. troops and seriously injured 20 others. Let's hope they don't become the varsity.
In his favor, Blinkin believes, "Force can be a necessary adjunct to diplomacy." Too bad he didn't think of that this summer. To his shame, he invited the UN - of all people - to visit America and investigate our racist inclinations.
We were troubled by disagreements in Trump's early White House days. Now we realize it takes a range of diverse opinions to produce better governance. Don't Democrats love diversity? Not in Washington!
And now we know state department - "Foggy Bottom" - academics are in charge of all things Afghanistan. Not the Dept. of Defense. Republicans chose the right culprit, not that he has to worry.
The blinkin truth is that egocentric President Biden was on board with the so-called strategy, and made it even worse.
Enemies of the Afghan people have been killing them and American and allied troops for two decades. Watch for U.S. planes flying to Kabul with our tax dollars, if only the medieval, murderous Taliban plays its cards right. For Democrats, every purpose starts and ends with money.
But first - beware Foggy Bottom's response to hostage takers.
