The Biden Legacy

It remains to be seen how many Americans and allied Afghans will be left behind by the Taliban’s month’s end deadline. What will remain, however, is an arsenal of U.S.-supplied weapons that will exponentially increase the destructive power of the newly reestablished terror-sponsoring Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan.

President Biden blithely assured us in July that the Afghan army was one of the world’s most powerful militaries. This proved, of course, to be as wrong as virtually every other facet of his reckless decision to withdraw all American forces from the country by September 11th.

But what is true is that the arms given to the Afghan military, or otherwise abandoned by ours as it departed, have the potential in the wrong hands to be extremely dangerous. They are in the wrong hands now and headed to others around the world.

Welcome to the Biden Legacy.
