Who Is Directing American Policy?

Biden was repeatedly told by military brass and intelligence officials that this was going to be the nightmare scenario if he unilaterally pulled American forces out at the end of this month.
How could he do this? For those who follow the grifters, pilot fish, and "consultants" who wallow behind the wake of this administration it should come as no surprise.
"All our efforts in Afghan have be uprooted by a complete disaster of an administration.... you can spin it all you want.... We Afghan/Iraq vets did not lose this.... our government did... our government lost it for us... but while most of America was at the mall, we were all in the mix shedding our time, effort and blood.... What broke me was the video of the mother throwing her newborn to the Marines on the wall.... but this is all squarely on who's in office now.... even if he doesn't know it." — EMT worker on 9/11/2001 and later a US Marine.
That final observation from an individual I am proud to know reveals what many of us wonder. This president is making terribly flawed decisions for which history and the American people will hold him accountable. And if it is not Biden directing American domestic and foreign policy, then who is?
The images of our desperate Afghan allies begging for rescue as their nation falls into the darkness of the Taliban will become permanently etched in the legacy of the Biden Administration. So too will infants being handed by frantic parents into the arms of U.S. Marines, more than 800 people jammed into a departing C-17 cargo plane, and Taliban beating and whipping those seeking access to the Kabul airport.
Yet the Biden administration was repeatedly told by military brass and intelligence officials that this was going to be the nightmare scenario if they unilaterally pulled American forces out at the end of this month. President Joe Biden's order that created heart-rending havoc ignored all professional advice, insight, and guidance. His Kabul chaos has made the disorderly evacuation of Dunkirk during World War II look like an act of military precision.
