There are probably few people who have sold their soul more in the Biden administration than National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby. He's not stupid or incoherent like some on the team. But, he so often fails to give a straight answer when asked.
Kirby did an interview with Fox's Martha MacCallum on her show, "The Story." The subject essentially was the Biden team throwing Israel under the bus with the things the Biden team has said. Kirby protested, saying that they stood with Israel, but they wanted changes to dealing with civilian casualties in the wake of the accidental killing of the aid workers in an Israeli strike in Gaza.
Then MacCallum truly nailed him when she asked about the difference between the Israeli strike, which she described as a "trigger moment" for the U.S. to go off about Israeli's "tactics" and accountability. Meanwhile, she asked how this was different from the strike on the innocent family, with the guy who had helped the U.S. and so many children, being killed -- 10 people killed.
Why is this strike with Israel so different from the one in Kabul by the Biden administration, she asked. Good for her, for asking the question that everyone wanted to ask him and putting him on the spot.
His response--in between the squirming and the stammering? "These are two different events."
Boy, that's all you can say? That's how you know even he couldn't find much of anything to tell the difference. He said the military would make changes to deal with "systemic" issues, but there was no need for "personal accountability." Oh, okay. You're making changes, but no one is responsible.
The real difference, of course, is that the Biden team is holding Israel to a different standard that they won't apply to themselves. Israel is doing all kinds of things to minimize casualties. And in this case, they fired people and are holding them accountable.
The Biden team didn't hold anyone at all responsible for the strike that killed 10 civilians. They didn't hold anyone accountable for the failure of the withdrawal that resulted in the death of 13 young, American military members. This is what he has previously said on the matter.
That's the Biden team, in a nutshell: no accountability for any of the mess he's made. The accountability may only come, if at all, after the Biden team is voted out and they can't keep doing this.
