For Mr. Hanson – to me, the pre-eminent political commentator/analyst out there today – Joe Biden’s “aren’t I just great” farewell address was too much.
He has written an analysis of that address, comparing Biden’s fantasy world with actual reality, that should be a must-read for anyone who cares about the truth instead of the final lies of a 50-year political liar.
Here is just the first part:
Departing President Joe Biden offered a farewell brag this week to his State Department about how his tenure had improved America’s stature abroad. In his now accustomed weird mix of whispering and fiery shouting, Biden apparently felt he had to lie or mislead about almost every one of his “achievements.”
Yet to the extent that anything improved abroad on his watch—the weakening of Iran or the near destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah—it was due despite, not because of, Biden.
Biden, bowing to election year political pressure, did all he could to restrain and block Israeli retaliations to the October 7 massacres. Only after he was repeatedly proven wrong does he now shamelessly take credit for what Israel ironically achieved by ignoring his own threats directed at Israel.
Biden is correct only that Iran is “weaker than it’s been in decades.” But Tehran was aided, not hurt, by Biden’s nonstop efforts to lift sanctions, to allow Iran to make billions in oil revenues, to pay the theocracy billions of dollars in hostage ransom, and to beg the mullahs to reenter the ill-starred Iran deal. Everything Biden did makes it much harder for Israel to survive.
So, Iran is now weakened only because Israel ignored Biden’s nonstop ankle-biting and finger-shaking not to retaliate to Iranian aggression. Instead, the Netanyahu government systematically destroyed Iranian air defenses after killing most of Iran’s foreign terrorist operatives.
I wish I could find something in what you just read that is untrue or exaggerated. I wish I could say that Joe Biden did a great job restraining Iran. But, sadly – and repulsively – to say, Victor Davis Hanson is 100% correct.
Please use the above link and read his entire commentary. Then be thankful – as I am – that this serial liar, serial loser and currently non compos mentis remnant of what little he used to be, is going away.
