I Hope You Loved George W. Bush
Biden carries on the tradition of bombing countries we aren't at war with
If you’re a fan of the George W. Bush and Obama administration’s foreign policy, I hope you’ve fallen in love with Biden. The Military-Industrial Complex is at the helm and the hawks are calling the policy shots.
According to Eli Clifton at Responsible Statecraft:
Earlier this month, a study group established by Congress recommended that President Joe Biden extend the May 1 deadline for withdrawing troops from America’s longest war. It’s a strategy that many experts say runs the risk of abrogating the U.S.-Taliban agreement and potentially setting back the potential peace process in Afghanistan — or even dooming it to failure.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, there is a striking similarity in the backgrounds of the individuals involved in these critical recommendations, which are likely to influence whether Biden maintains a “conditions based” U.S. military footprint in Afghanistan. Two of the group’s three co-chairs and nine of the group’s 12 plenary members, comprised of what the group refers to as “members,” have current or recent financial ties to major defense contractors, an industry that soaks up more than half of the $740 billion defense budget, and stands to gain from protracted U.S. military involvement overseas.
There was more diversity in views and financial interests among the 26 “senior advisers” that the group consulted. At least three of these advisers have warned publicly that the suggested troop withdrawal extension may pose significant risks. But the study group’s plenary is deeply intertwined with the military industrial base, with nearly $4 million the group’s co-chairs and plenary have received in compensation for their work on the boards of defense contractors.
We’re never leaving Afghanistan. We’re never going to admit we can’t destroy the Taliban. We’re not going to admit there is no way of creating a functioning liberal-democracy in Iraq. Oh, and Syria? The Biden administration will probably “circle back” on that.

Biden Hypocracy Over Syria Airstrike
From Joel Pollak at Breitbart:
The airstrikes came in response to attacks on American personnel in Iraq. Criticism was muted on both sides of the aisle, with some questioning whether the airstrikes were authorized under the existing Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF).
Others noted that the airstrikes mark a 180-degree turn for Biden and members of his administration.
Last year, Biden was among those who criticized President Donald Trump’s airstrike on Iranian terrorist General Qasem Soleimani. He called it “a hugely escalatory move in an already dangerous region,” and claimed — falsely, as it turned out — that the attack would provoke, rather than deter, the Iranian regime.
“We could be on the brink of a major conflict across the Middle East,” Biden said — wrongly, again, as peace deals soon emerged.
Time to End the War on Terror
Two decades. Trillions of dollars. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost. It is time to end the madness and bring our troops home.

Biden Diversity Strikes Syria
I’d laugh if it didn’t hurt knowing Northrop Grumman donated to BLM, but at least a VP woman of color gets to help coordinate the drone strikes right?
