Biden put a huge black mark on the United States’ integrity with his messy withdrawal from Afghanistan and left our citizens and allies stranded in an ISIS-K- ridden country ran by the Taliban. Now that our allies and Americans have paid for his mistakes in blood there should be an investigation into possible charges.
Before the bombing at Kabal airport that claimed the lives of 13 US service members, people were calling for Biden’s impeachment— Now? The US needs a full-scale investigation into the possible mishandling of the Afghan withdrawal.
Less than 24 hours before the bombing former commander of British military forces in Afghanistan Col. Richard Kemp, CBE said that Biden needed to be court marshaled:
“I don’t say this lightly and I’ve never said it about anybody else – any other leader in this position. People have been talking about impeaching President Biden,” Kemp told Levin.
“I don’t believe President Biden should be impeached. He’s the commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces who’s just essentially surrendered to the Taliban: He shouldn’t be impeached. He should be court-martialed for betraying the United States of America and the United States armed forces.”
Kemp predicted China, which along with Russia has all but recognized the Taliban as the new government of Afghanistan, will join with neighboring Pakistan and Iran to further “enrich themselves by plundering” the war-torn country.
China is also poised to use Afghanistan’s wealth of minerals and natural resources as a way to “hit against the West,” he said.
“So the whole world just became vastly more dangerous. The U.S. government – President Biden humiliated the United States. He humiliated the United States Army,” Kemp argued.
“I think the consequences of what’s just happened and what’s still happening are absolutely devastating for the whole of the Western world.”
The former British commander added that many U.S. presidents have criticized the other members of the NATO alliance for not “pulling their weight” – but that Biden has now “destroyed [NATO’s] credibility, totally single-handed[ly].”
Democrats are already going to pay in the midterm election for Biden’s incompetence but that shouldn’t be enough. The families of the fallen deserve, at the very least, an investigation into how the withdrawal was handled. If the investigation should turn up that Biden ignored the advice of his advisors he should face charges—As any of us would.
