Experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-sends-more-troops-to-afghanistan-blames-trump-experts-push-back-biden-owns-all-of-this\">quickly pushed back<\/a> on Biden\u2019s attempts to deflect blame, calling it \u201cpathetic\u201d and saying that \u201che owns all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Trump said:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"21\">\n<p><em>Joe Biden gets it wrong every time on foreign policy, and many other issues. Everyone knew he couldn\u2019t handle the pressure. Even Obama\u2019s Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, said as much. He ran out of Afghanistan instead of following the plan our Administration left for him \u2014 a plan that protected our people and our property, and ensured the Taliban would never dream of taking our Embassy or providing a base for new attacks against America. The withdrawal would be guided by facts on the ground.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>After I took out ISIS, I established a credible deterrent. That deterrent is now gone. The Taliban no longer has fear or respect for America, or America\u2019s power. What a disgrace it will be when the Taliban raises their flag over America\u2019s Embassy in Kabul. This is complete failure through weakness, incompetence, and total strategic incoherence.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump\u2019s statement is backed up by what Mike Pompeo, the former director of the CIA and secretary of state, said in an interview last week about the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know exactly what they are doing, but we had conditions attached to how we were thinking about this withdrawal \u2014 I was part of those negotiations,\u201d Pompeo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pompeo-reveals-what-trump-told-taliban-about-how-u-s-would-withdraw-blasts-bidens-poor-leadership\">said<\/a>. \u201cI was also in the room when President Trump made very clear to Mullah Baradar, the senior Taliban negotiator, that if you threatened an American, if you scared an American, certainly if you hurt an American, that we would bring all American power to bear to make sure that we went to your village, to your house. We were very clear about the things we were prepared to do to protect American lives. And indeed, since we began those negotiations back in February of 2020, there wasn\u2019t a single American killed by the Taliban. We had established a deterrence model.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Adesnik, Senior Fellow and Director of Research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/analysis\/2021\/08\/10\/biden-administration-foreign-policy-tracker-early-august\/\">noted<\/a>&nbsp;in FDD\u2019s bimonthly Biden administration foreign policy tracker that \u201ceven though, as vice president, Joe Biden saw how the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq led to the rise of the Islamic State as well as tremendous suffering for the Iraqi people, he appears not to have prepared for similar risks in Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow and Editor of FDD\u2019s Long War Journal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/foreign-policy-experts-blast-biden-as-situation-in-middle-east-rapidly-deteriorates-in-3-key-areas\">noted<\/a> the stunning collapse of Afghanistan under the Biden administration:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><em>The Taliban seized control of six provincial capitals in just four days: Aybak, Taloqan, Kunduz City, Sar-i-Pul City, Shibirghan, and Zaranj. Zaranj, the capital of Nimruz province, was the first provincial capital taken by the Taliban since they began their offensive on May 1. The Taliban have launched a string of attacks on other major cities, including Lashkar Gah, which is in danger of falling, as well as Herat City and Kandahar City. In Kabul, the Taliban launched a suicide assault against the acting defense minister\u2019s home and assassinated the director of the Afghan government\u2019s information and media center. Despite the Taliban\u2019s clear implementation of a military strategy to re-establish their Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the U.S. State Department still clings to the notion that there can be a negotiated settlement.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
