WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Friday downplayed criticism of President Biden’s botched Afghanistan exit strategy, including from Democrats in Congress, saying it’s “easy to throw stones.”

Psaki also said Biden intends to kill the suspected Islamic State terrorists involved in the Kabul airport bombing that killed 13 US troops on Thursday.

“He does not want them to live on the Earth anymore,” she said at her daily press briefing.

Psaki said Biden won’t ask any generals to resign for the messy withdrawal while pushing back on fellow Democrats who faulted the planning to remove US troops by Aug. 31.

“I don’t have any direct response to any member of Congress, but what I will say is that it is easy to throw stones or be a critic from the outside. It is harder to be in the arena and make difficult decisions,” Psaki said.

It is harder to be in the arena and make difficult decisions,” Psaki said.

Especially when they are bad decisions...

But if every single decision you make turns out to be the wrong one, sooner or later you’ve got to ask yourself
“can I trust myself? Would I want someone like me to be on my own jury?”.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She says that about a country with thousands of American and other hostages Biden handed to tyrants known for stoning and beheading people. I can’t wait for her to devolve into statements about ‘double-edged swords’.

Unfortunately, huge numbers of innocent Afghans who tried to work for Afghan freedom will find out about people throwing stones.
