iran is back to enriching uranium at an alarming rate and the withdrawal from afghanistan is a poorly planned debacle. if now we are leaving behind tons of arms and munitions for the taliban. this administration is unraveling far faster than we ever expected. and worst of all no one knows who s in charge. 57% of americans, they see what we ve been talking about and few others have and that is, by the way, 58% of independents and even a third of democrats see it and so does america s enemies. the one thing that must agree on, definitely not joe biden running the show. and today yet again, he struggled to get words out during his one and only publicly scheduled events. take a look. we went for two reasons. one, to bring usama bin laden to the gates of. as i said at the time. the second reason was to eliminate al qaeda s capacity to deal with more attacks on the united states from that territory. we accomplished both of those objectives, period. sean: they will keep counting
