The lightning advance of the Taliban in retaking the country has led Afghan Americans, former generals and leading statesmen to blame President Joe Biden for a hasty US withdrawal. But he appears to have the public on his side - for now.
Hadia Essazada wept as she recounted the horror the Taliban visited on her household, first beating her father, and then killing her brother.
The first time "they were beating my father with an iron rod because they were looking for my elder brother", who had fought to resist their rule in the 1990s, she told BBC Persian.

"But he appears to have the public on his side - for now"
Really?? Not from any of the polling that I've seen.
I'm guessing that the BBC is the British version of MSNBC.

Agree with #1 on this. Total disaster thanks to Booger Joe.

This article misses the point. Most Americans supported withdrawing from Afghanistan. Most Americans expected an orderly process that would ensure the safe evacuation of our fellow citizens and the removal of materiel and ordnance BEFORE shutting down a secure base of operations and extracting military personnel. Instead we got the Biden Plan, a complete disaster and utter fiasco.

To the BBC and allied outlets, the "Public" is those included in their "Bubble-verse". Anyone outside that is props and scenery - unimportant, replaceable and dismissable.

Biden does not "have the public on his side." He has less support from the public than he did on November 3, 2020,.
The problem is, the Marxists can govern in a disastrous way, and right now there's nothing stopping them from stealing every election going forward. The FBI and the courts are corrupt, and the Luciferian media is certain to provide cover. Actually, I think they want chaos and a weakened America. Things look bad for the Left now, but if there isn't election integrity they won't have consequences, so there's nothing for them to worry about.

Liberals are clearly shocked that some people will actually hold people accountable for their ridiculous actions. They had no idea that they....the elites....would face criticism for their anti-American actions

The backlash cannot be pulled back far enough for me. I hope that it comes out so forcefully that democrats won’t know what hit them. They deserve every ill feeling and unending criticism they receive. In fact, many in the party deserve jail time. Now that is the backlash I am waiting for!

The ghost of then and now.......the main difference between Vietnam and Afghanistan is that the retreat from Vietnam was better organized and the level of shame was a little less. Either way the folks who fought were knifed in the back by the democrats and the civilian population who supported us were and will soon be massacred

Biden has public support right now? That's a riot and a laugh. Biden might have that on tattooed, green hair fat white girl who supported him at his motorcade when all the protesters showed up to jeer at him while flipping him off. Biden is just a dead duck in the water with their stolen election the senile old jerk doesn't even know what going on around him after all he's on vacation. Declare victory Joe and go golfing it's what Obama would do.

Seriously, where are the Republicans calling for this phony president's resignation???!! Where are they? If the Republicans would stand behind Trump and support his calls for Biden to step down, the conservative base would stand with them! How do they not understand this? Blows my mind.

Dear BBC, if President Trump had gone on vacation during an international crisis of his own making, returned by force to the WH to make an angry shove-the-blame-on-everyone-else speech and then gone back on vacation, you and the rest of the left would have been screaming for his crucifixion.
Why aren’t you doing the same to Xiden? (Rhetorical question but I would still love to hear them answer it.)

May it continue to grow and throw in some backlash to Pelosi for the gulag she's created in DC.
I just read she is giving the House Representatives a $25,000 a year raise. Most likely for their vote on the 3.5 Trilion infrastructure bill. May that woman pay for the horror she has brought on the American people. I pray she, Fauci and Biden all get a continuing and steady stream of backlash.

Biden has been used by the democrats are the escape goat... he's totally incompetent and they know it... that's why he's up front and taking the heat while they hide in their offices away from the press...whatever press is left in Washington DC...WE the people know the game plan...and as each democratic nightmare unfolds WE are formulating our own strategy with our lives...the democrats are knocking at our doors to find un/vaccinated citizens... in Kabul the terrorists are knocking on doors looking for women/girls ages 12-45 to rape....sound familiar?

Sure - - the taliban beat her father and murdered her brother - - but - - they didn't "glorify" the violence.
If they had "glorified" it - - they might have been banned from twitter.

FTA - "But he appears to have the public on his side - for now."
No he doesn't, bbc. Not even close. Aside from the CBC in Canada, you are one of the most lefty news organizations on the planet. Has your tweeter account been suspended yet? Didn't think so.

Americans have lost their will to fight. Since WWII we have lost, ended or withdrawn from every conflict we engaged in. Wars are not ended! They are either won or lost. Even though FDR and Harry Truman were Democrats, they understood that the only way to end a war is victory. The Japanese didn’t understand this either until they finally realized that we were willing to kill every last one of them unless they stopped fighting.

Backlash? From who? Since when does the Left care what others say?
This clown, China Joe, really represents only about 15% of the country but he's still POTUS from a stolen election ... the biggest of many more to come.
Biden could be as unpopular as Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and it won't mean beans --- not until the middle class wakes up from being fat & happy selling their houses for so much, watching their IRAs grow with inflated dollars and not caring their own kids are turning against them. Until then, Biden et. al. will march on.

If there are five Dem House members who love their country more than their party, they could stop this madness.

We the American people have our exit strategy from this regime:
1. Guard the 2022 elections, primary the RINOs, and take the House and Senate in the general election.
2. Install Donald J. Trump as Speaker of the House.
3. Impeach Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
4. Donald J. Trump becomes the 47th (or 48th if Biden doesn't last) POTUS.
5. Trump cleans house of all the deep state globalist elites.
6. Trump completes the term, but steps aside in 2024 for DeSantis or whomever he chooses.
7. MAGA President follows through, and Trump remains Kingmaker emeritus.
8. America climbs back from the brink, while Trump enjoys whatever remaining time God grants him.

#20, that’s like saying that if the terrorists could learn to love their children more than they hate us, all the attacks would stop. Ain’t going to happen.
