CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 15, 2024
TALK ABOUT PREDICTABLE! THE POWER VACUUM AMERICA LEFT BEHIND DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S BOTCHED WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN IS FUELING A RESURGENCE OF ISLAMIST TERRORISTS. A MAJOR REPORT BY THE UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE SAYS THE REGROUPING TERRORISTS HAVE THE WILL, AND PERHAPS THE CAPACITY, TO TARGET THE U.S. AND ITS INTERESTS.
THE STUDY SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD TARGET AREAS WHERE TERRORIST BASES ARE BEING ESTABLISHED. THAT ISN’T LIKELY TO HAPPEN WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO DICTATE TO ISRAEL HOW TO FIGHT HAMAS.
SINCE LEAVING AFGHANISTAN IN AUGUST 2021, THE U.S. MILITARY HAS CARRIED OUT ONLY ONE STRIKE IN THE COUNTRY DESPITE THE BIDEN’S PROMISE THAT THE “OVER THE HORIZON” CAPABILITIES OF THE MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY COULD KEEP A LID ON ANY TERRORIST THREATS.
THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY HAVE A RELIGIOUS MANDATE TO KILL ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM, STARTING WITH JEWS, CHRISTIANS, AND OTHERS THEY CALL “INFIDELS.” BIDEN IGNORED APPEALS FROM HIS OWN GENERALS TO LEAVE A SMALL FORCE IN AFGHANISTAN. HE REFUSED TO DO SO AND SO TERRORISM GROWS AND THE MURDERING THUGS WILL LIKELY TRY TO ATTACK AMERICA AGAIN. THANKS JOE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
