Yesterday we reported on how Biden’s flunkies are trying to foist some of the blame for Biden’s Afghanistan failure on Ted Cruz because he’s holding up confirmations for Biden’s state department over Biden’s abysmal actions on Russia’s Nord Stream II pipeline.
Today I got this response from his spokesperson:
“President Biden and his defenders continue to blame everyone except the President for his botched, catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan. We now know that accurate intelligence was coming out of Afghanistan, predicting disaster if he continued to pursue his haphazard, flawed approach. Still, he ignored that intelligence and the officials who presented it. Instead, he repeatedly, directly, and explicitly misled the American people. Now he and his partisan allies in the press want to pretend that if he had a few more staffers for a few more weeks, that would have somehow changed everything. President Biden needs to stop playing blame games and start formulating a plan to get all Americans safely out of Afghanistan.”
This is exactly right. As I pointed out yesterday it was his Afghanistan policies and pullout strategy that were seriously flawed, and Cruz allowing these confirmations through wouldn’t make any difference. No amount of new confirmations would have changed any of it.
