America has some of the best technology. We have some of the best and brightest minds in our country. But somehow we ended up with this dud for a president and he is constantly making us look incompetent. He had the simple task of evacuating a country. This evacuation didn’t need to be rushed and could have been done properly. But a document shows that this whole fiasco may in fact be intentional. The Trump administration had a plan in place that would have safely evacuated all of the Americans in the country. But Biden put a stop to Trump’s plan when he ended the Contingency Crisis Response Bureau, thereby causing this whole Afghanistan fiasco.
“Joe Biden’s State Department moved to cancel a critical State Department program aimed at providing swift and safe evacuations of Americans out of crisis zones just months prior to the fall of Kabul…
The “Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau” – which was designed to handle medical, diplomatic, and logistical support concerning Americans overseas was paused by Antony Blinken’s State Department earlier this year. The notification was officially signed just months before the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.
“SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED,” an official State Department document from the Biden State Department begins, before outlining the following move the quash the Trump-era funding for the new bureau.
The document is dated June 11, 2021, [but] the decision to pause the program may have come as early as February, both undermining the original Trump-era date for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, and certainly giving the Taliban time to threaten American assets and lives on the run-up to Joe Biden’s September 11th date of withdrawal.
The subject line reads: “(SBU) Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau,” and the body of the document recommends:
“That you direct the discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR), and direct a further review of certain associated Department requirements and capabilities.”
It goes on:
“That you direct the discontinuation of the establishment, and termination of, CCR, consistent with the applicable legal requirements, necessary stakeholder engagement, and any applicable changes to the Foreign Affairs Manual and other requirements.”
The document reveals the recommendations were approved on June 11th, 2021.
Former President Donald J. Trump blasted Biden’s irresponsible move:
“My Administration prioritized keeping Americans safe, Biden leaves them behind. Canceling this successful Trump Administration program before the withdrawal that would have helped tens of thousands of Americans reach home is beyond disgraceful. Our withdrawal was conditions-based and perfect, it would have been flawlessly executed and nobody would have even known we left. The Biden execution and withdrawal is perhaps the greatest embarrassment to our Country in History, both as a military and humanitarian operation.”
Biden doesn’t seem to understand that he should be using the best plans possible. He keeps shutting down Trump’s accomplishments and then creating disasters in the process. Americans didn’t have to be stranded right now, and they wouldn’t have been if Biden cared.
