The Buck … Stopping

Charles Lipson, writing at SpectatorWorld.com, pronounces a verdict on the debacle in Kabul. I obviously concur.

There will be a huge political price to pay for this unfolding disaster, and President Biden will pay it. This deadly fiasco didn’t just happen on his watch. It happened because of his decisions, a series of fundamentally bad ones, taken by the President himself.

When being commander in chief isn’t much fun. POTUS has no place to hide, and nobody else to blame. Watching him squirm, trying to shift the awful responsibility, will be a painful spectacle.
