Please excuse my ignorance, and what some may see as naivete, when I say that there was once upon a time when I was very much a supporter of John Bolton. And it was then that I actually agreed with his tough talk directed at those who were America’s enemies. But it’s been more recently that I have come to recognize the error of my ways. And there is nothing that proves better what a fraud this guy is, and likely has always been, than how he seems to have come out in defense of ‘Creepy Joe’s Afghanistan debacle and instead proceeded to blame it all on…wait for it…DONALD TRUMP. I mean to make such a claim, even in jest, is absolutely ludicrous!
And so it was, as recently as this past Friday, that
during a visit there at ‘fake news’ HQ, aka CNN, that Bolton was again provided
a platform from which to spew more of his typical anti-Trump pablum when he said
that former President Trump’s “mistake” of negotiation with the Taliban was
what led to the unfolding chaos in Afghanistan as the United States withdraws.
By all means, negotiation is never a good thing, we must always waste resources
and manpower in trying to obliterate our adversaries and never even attempt to
seek out a peaceful resolution to any conflict, potential or actual. This has
always been his mantra and rarely has it been effective. And yet…
So anyway, it was Friday that Bolton said, “I think
Biden has been very clear for a long time. He and Trump actually see this
exactly the same way. They both wanted to get out. Now, there’s
finger-pointing, Biden saying we’re stuck with the Trump deal, Trump saying
well, they could have done it differently. Look, the basic mistake that’s
playing out here is that Trump negotiated this deal only with the Taliban.
There are a lot of mistakes in the deal itself.” And he added, “But the
fundamental problem of dealing with this terrorist organization is that the
Trump negotiators delegitimized the Afghan government.” He’s simply trying to
provide cover for ‘Creepy Joe!’
And it was Bolton who continued by saying, “The
government we set up — the government, with all its many, many flaws, had at
least some democratic legitimacy, of which Taliban had none.” And he then went
on to say, “And by delegitimizing the government, de-recognizing it in effect,
we shattered the morale of the Afghan army. The army is saying, well, if the
Americans won’t even protect that government, why are we going to end up
protecting it?” And he concluded by saying, “Which is why, honestly, nobody
should have been surprised that the army collapsed so quickly when Biden
announced the final withdrawal.” Again, simply more excuse making.
Look, in truth, ‘Creepy Joe’ kept none of President Trump’s
deals on anything, he simply went his own way. And I cannot be the only one who
views it as being rather cowardly that they proceed to blame President Trump
for the border crisis immediately after they stopped construction on the border
wall and proceeded to throw open our southern border. They have blamed President
Trump for everything that *president ‘Creepy Joe’ has done wrong, so this
drivel now coming from Bolton should come as a surprise to anyone. Also, more
than a little dishonest is how they’ve taken credit for the vaccines though,
when that too was President Trump’s doing.
And, if I remember correctly, wasn’t it the Democrats
who said they wouldn’t trust, nor would they take, any vaccine developed under President
Trump. But now they claim that it was all their doing while at the same time making
threats about how we must all be vaccinated or else! Democrats are nuts. ‘Creepy
Joe’ has been nothing less than a disaster on every level that he could have
been, and has done absolutely nothing right since being sworn in. And those who
continue to defend him, like those such as Bolton, demonstrate what frauds they
truly are and, sadly, likely have always been, making those who once trusted
them feel like we were simply made fools of.
Bolton, by making such claims, is clearly
demonstrating that there is nothing that he will not say in his effort to
remain, in any way, relevant. But it’s not going to work with most. As far as I’m
concerned, he’s worse than a loser, he’s a traitor who seems interested in
doing nothing other than to put his own petty personal issues above the
interests of the nation. So, of course, he’d show up on CNN. And it’s in his
attempt to defend ‘Creepy Joe’ that Bolton is simply telling another whopper. ‘Creepy
Joe’ publicly repudiated the deal President Trump negotiated with the Taliban back
in April. That is why this mess, and the idiotic decision making is all on ‘Creepy
Joe.’
‘Creepy Joe’ threw out any and all things President Trump
did without any consideration because he thought it would make him look good.
The whole purpose here was to make it look like Donald Trump had never been
President. And it’s one thing for ‘Creepy Joe’ to dump President Trump’s deal,
but to do so and have nothing to replace it with, that’s simply dereliction of
duty. And while “Orange Man Bad” seems to continue as being the political battle
cry of those on the Left, as we have seen, it’s not much of a foreign policy
strategy. Diplomacy involves sitting down with those groups you don’t like and
finding common ground and acting like an adult.
Bolton was, and continues to be, patently
incompetent, and is still childishly angry and resentful because he was fired
by President Trump. Bolton is now even less in touch then he was when he worked
for the Bushes. He is definitely not someone who should continue to be taken
seriously. He has been reduced to a joke, and all by his own doing. The retreat
from Afghanistan was totally the work of ‘Creepy Joe’ & Co., and any attempt
to portray it is anything else should be seen as nothing more than a work of
pure political fiction. So I ask you, can our country or, dare I say, the world
afford another three and a half years of *president ‘Creepy Joe’ and his team?
