CBS.....In September 2014, President Obama acknowledged that the US underestimated the rise of the Islamic State and overestimated the Iraqi military's ability to fight ISIL.
Oh wow, what would the world do without such a valuable resource?President Obama acknowledged that the U.S. underestimated the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS, also called ISIL) and overestimated the ability of the Iraqi military to fend off the militant group in an interview that aired on 60 Minutes.
Biden grew to hate the US war in Afghanistan, even though he voted for it in 2001. People who know Biden's history in the Senate know that he is the ULTIMATE insider and deeply in the pocket of the Delaware insurance companies*. You can blame him for the US student loan disaster, AND he has terminal "foot in the mouth" disease; he's been fumbling public events for decades. At the same time, the US-Afghan War was the endless conflict that was the "stepchild war" during the Bush II years (because they really wanted Iraq from the outset) and became a back-burner for Obama (even though his administration killed Osama bin Laden!) and Trump. You want to hear the real screaming, that will be if Biden can summon up the simple courage to shut down "Camp X-ray" at Guantanamo, release the remaining untried 37 prisoners, and send the convicted one to a US prison....unless all the black-site and "Gitmo" torture is ruled an extenuating circumstance and he is freed as well. George W. Bush screwed America on levels we are still trying to get our heads around.Pretty sweet gig it seems, being US President, for a Dem. You can first ignore and then bullshit the American people when called to account for an act of monumental incompetence, and nothing happens.
Not a violent mob intent on rescuing democracy from a tyrant in sight. Nor an impeachment.
Funny that.
And you can't even vote him out for another three years, because Parchment Rules. Yay!
Biden's Wikipedia biography will always make him look like a saint, and Trump's biography will always make him look like Satan incarnate. And the rest of Wikipedia will always reflect that innate bias. A systemic bias.
It stands as the most bizarre project of the Web 1.0 era: concocted by Randians and Libertarians, it fronts as this allegedly academic information source, but the naked hackjobbery of many of the articles is there for all to see. There are articles now that have have no metric/International System of Units conversions for weights and measures used. Spelling flips from American standard to British standard, sometimes within paragraphs! For those sins and many others, I don't consider Wikipedia to be an encyclopedia; it's a Wiki and Wikis are not encyclopedias.Larry is right, Wikipedia is biased, a thoroughly American take on an "encyclopedia", and anyone who denies it, needs to take one of the fifty billion guns in America, and blow their own stupid brains out.
EVERY US president, and every major US presidential candidate, has received the same treatment by Wiki-Fucks. Every war activity involving the US receives the same treatment. It is baked into their degenerate wiki-pie permanently and will keep happening so long as the bastard thing exists. Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, furry, gay, fascist, whatever; doesn't matter.Jake Is A Sellout wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 7:47 amBiden's Wikipedia biography will always make him look like a saint, and Trump's biography will always make him look like Satan incarnate.

Ha ha ha. At present, tens of thousands of articles are under semi-protection. No one knows how many because there's no "central authority" or any attempt to keep track. They stopped updating this list in 2014. It is also a list of their worst administrators--many of them are long gone. This is still being updated for some reason.Woohookitty, an administrator who supported the policy, said that the number of semi-protected articles would likely stabilize at around 40.
