Biden Sends 5,000 Troops to Afghanistan, Blames Trump for Taliban Resurgence
Washington Examiner | Aug 15, 2021 | Timothy Nerozzi

President Joe Biden released a statement Saturday from the White House blaming his decision to surge U.S. troops to Afghanistan to combat the Taliban’s surging land acquisition on the policies of former President Donald Trump.

Both sides are surging, huh? Sounds ominous. Who’s our Surgin’ General? Are our troops well-enough versed in Critical Race Theory?

Biden said in the statement that he would send an additional 1,000 troops to Afghanistan to complement the 1,000 troops already in the country and the 3,000-troop surge he announced last week, a defense official told the Washington Examiner. The president said the move was necessary . . .

There was a surge last week, too? Cool.

Obviously, no reporter dared ask him to clarify what the hell he was talking about.
