<p>On Monday, in a scathing opinion piece for <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-biden-cynicism-afghanistan-withdrawal-bagram-kabul-bombing-taliban-9-11-11630356746?st=0is0kayc6h5cqav&amp;reflink=share_mobilewebshare">The Wall Street Journal</a>, William McGurn, the chief speechwriter for former President George W. Bush, eviscerated President Biden for incessantly bring up his late son Beau after American servicemen and women were murdered by terrorists in Afghanistan. McGurn snapped, “Mr. Biden is not a Gold Star father and should stop playing one on TV.”</p>
<p>McGurn began his essay by noting that some people hoped Biden might “reconsider letting the Taliban dictate the terms of our exit.” He added, “These people profoundly misunderstand the president and the political equations driving his decisions. For Mr. Biden, the top priority was to use the 20th anniversary of 9/11 to take a victory lap as the president who ended America’s longest war. When Kabul fell, it added a new imperative: avoid any U.S. combat casualties that would mar the moment. Even at the cost of leaving Americans behind enemy lines and abandoning our Afghan partners.”</p>
