Afghan troops could and did fight with air support and intelligence from the US and allies. Biden is giving false choice and is a lying sack of sh!t.

Biden lying? You mean saying it’s Trump’s plan and thus Trump’s fault, then saying it was his own campaign promise and he’s standing by it.

“Factual inaccuracies”. You mean that he opened his mouth and spoke? I don’t see it any other way.

He’s always lying. He’s lying even more than usual. Sometimes he’s just telling practice lies. This time it’s for Olympic gold. And he won’t even clarify his intentions re the Afghans who are on a Taliban death list for helping the Great Satan, some of whom are seen desperately holding on to the taxiing plane wing here.

Biden is like a child in that he blames everyone else for breaking the cookie jar even though he has a half-eaten cookie in one hand, and crumbs all over his mouth.

Reminds me of Clinton after Waco, blaming it on Janet Reno.

Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane on that one. That is a good parallel.

Is the Pentagon and state department this stupid

The Taliban controls who gets in the airport

I am an American so I show my pass port. and they let me in

I am an Afghan and want to leave..would you go to the airport and show some paper that says the U.S. will take you...

Press: Did the Afghans know how to fight?

Biden: Yeah, we spent billions teaching them about being woke and gender studies, but it didn’t do anything.

Press: But that’s not really a test for fighting?

Biden: We made them in our image because we’re Gods over there. Everybody is a Hollywood actor to the Afghans. They love us... and we were spreading the love.

Press: But did you teach them to fight?

Biden: I’m a lover not a fighter. That’s why I get others to do my fighting. Like the time with Popcorn... or was it Cornpop.

Press: Joe you’re not answering the question. Why did they give up?

Biden: Look man, we’re here for a good time not a long time. I’ve got wiz kids from college in my administration from the best American families, and they know the score. They know what is needed. They voted for me... more than once.

Press: Joe, you can’t answer the question of why we were embarrassed and failed in Afghanistan. Your wiz kids whizzed on the American people. And you don’t care.

Biden: Look, if you’re stupid enough to go to Afghanistan and die... that’s your problem. Me, I don’t care. I get somebody to do my fighting.

Press: But the billions in equipment you left!

Biden: Who cares. We just make more of it and the contractors are happy. It’s a win, win situation. The Taliban are happy, and we are happy making tons of money making more equipment. That gift ensures more war and more equipment to be made. It’s like a down payment for the future.

Press: The withdrawal was a fiasco and debacle!

Biden: It depends on how you see it. Our country is wealthy enough to afford some mishaps. This is just a stage of social engineering that didn’t work out. So what? People are happy here in America.

Press: Err...

Biden: Well aren’t they!

General Barry McCaffrey sees it differently than General Keane. ““To be blunt – having just watched his address – I think it was very straight-forward, very sober-minded and it’s largely a defensible position and the American people probably support it.”

I think General Keane has the right take.

The higher ups want Afghanis refugees to complete one-party rule.

I think both of them are part of the problem — career military hacks who earn a lot of money as propagandists for the U.S. military industrial complex.

The Afghani forces stoipped fight because Biden banned the air and other logistics contractors from entering the country, and because they were ordered not to fight by their government, and because they were totally dependent on US forces for many things - including morale.
