Former U.S. Ambassador Questions Biden’s Competence as Commander-in-Chief
Joe Biden’s current Afghanistan debacle has raised some serious questions about his ability to serve as commander in chief. Former U.S. Ambassador, Ryan Crocker, told The Spokesman-Review in an interview: "I’m left with some grave questions in my mind about his ability to lead our nation as commander-in-chief." Commenting on Biden’s lapse judgment regarding Afghanistan, Croker accused Biden saying: "To have read this so wrong — or even worse — to have understood what was likely to happen and not care."
Foremost among Croker’s concerns were the implications that Islamist terrorists around the world would become emboldened at the idea that the Taliban defeated the world’s strongest military. With no U.S. intelligence agencies involved, there’s also the concern that the Taliban could again harbor terrorist groups.
This week, U.S. forces conducted a series of lethal maritime strikes in the Eastern Pacific, resulting in the deaths of 14 narco-terrorists who were aboard four smuggling vessels that were operating along a well-known trafficking corridor.
