One Image Sums Up Biden’s Afghan Failure

Stowaways fall to their deaths after clinging to a plane as thousands flee the Taliban.

There is one searing video image that irrevocably captures the desperation of the Afghan people in the wake of Joe Biden’s catastrophically failed exit plan, and it should haunt Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their Beltway political cadre until they draw their last breaths. Desperate Afghan people, clinging to the outside of a C-17 military transport departing Kabul, fell to their deaths. As we approach the 20th observance of the 9/11 Islamic attack on our nation, an attack planned in Afghanistan, the Kabul images are reminiscent of those horrible images of Americans plunging to their deaths from the World Trade Center towers.
