NextImg:The Corner: Touring Joe Biden’s Eras of Failure

My latest column in the Daily Mail details the long-running foreign-policy disaster of Joe Biden, once again on display:

Who’s afraid of old Joe?

Our 80-year-old President can barely walk across a stage or complete a sentence, let alone project strength on the global stage. He’s invisible before 10 am, after 4 pm, or on weekends. And don’t dare ask him to get up from his beach lounger during an international crisis.

Biden has a long rap sheet of foreign-policy weakness. In early 1975, he was a leading voice in the Senate for abandoning South Vietnam. ‘I’m getting sick and tired of hearing about morality, our moral obligation [to send aid]’, he said. Weeks later Saigon was overrun, and Cambodia descended into genocide.

In 1987 – the year Biden first ran for president – he attacked ‘the Reagan Doctrine’ for being too confrontational with Soviet Russia two weeks before the then president’s famous speech calling on Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall. We all know who won that one. In 1991, Biden voted against the Gulf War to force Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait after Iraq invaded.

Then in 2010, as vice president, he oversaw and fiercely championed America’s drawdown of troops in Iraq – which directly led to the handover of the country to ISIS. In 2011, he opposed the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, telling Barack Obama it was too risky. And during the 2012 campaign, Biden mocked Mitt Romney’s ‘Cold War mindset’ when the Republican presidential candidate tried to warn about the threat posed by Vladimir Putin, who had by then already hosted the leaders of Hamas at the Kremlin.

Once in the Oval Office, Biden’s judgement got no better – instead our Commander-in-Chief has emboldened America’s enemies at every turn. Worst of all: Afghanistan.
