CNN’s Zeleny: Biden ‘More in Command’ Than He Has Been All Week in Afghanistan Speech
breitbart ^ | 20 Aug 2021 | PAM KEY

Posted on 08/21/2021 8:44:22 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

CNN’s Jeff Zeleny said on Friday, "I think there’s no question that President Biden was more in command of this chaos in Afghanistan than we have seen him really for more than a week, publicly.

"He said very clearly, any American who wants to come home will be able to come home and then authorized, saying he will use any resources necessary and left the door open to the possibility of staying beyond his self-imposed deadline, and actually left several other spaces open for command decisions on the ground there.”

“So perhaps more has been gone on than the military leaders have left us to believe. But for the president’s point of view, one goal I’ve been told by White House officials was to try and get off his heels, to try and get on offense and show that they are indeed in control of this. "

Zeleny added, “So, without question, this is a president that we’ve really not seen for the last several days. He’s refused a couple of different times to take questions on this, so again, trying to at least reset the conversation, and he did say there will be time for second-guessing later. And, of course, there will be. But by standing there in the East Room with, of course, his vice president, but as well, his top Pentagon commander, Secretary Lloyd Austin, as well as the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, making clear that he does have their full confidence and their support, so that was all by design to show that this president is indeed in charge of this.”

Covering for Biden, like TASS covered for the stroked-out Brezhnev.

The Taliban are going to erect a 50’ statue of Joe Biden in Tehran.

Take that to the bank.

IOW, they’re admitting he hadn’t been in command.

Doubled his dementia meds and fed him coffee ice cream. Oh, and doubled the text size on his teleprompter.

Not even ABC tried to cover up what was a disaster of a press conference.

That’s why there is chaos.

Exactly. This is tantamount to admitting that he was LESS in command previously.

He is still not in command.

“I think there’s no question that President Biden was more in command of this chaos in Afghanistan than we have seen him really for more than a week, publicly.”

Biden was ordered to cause this on purpose, a purpose we do not yet fully comprehend.

By “chaos”, you mean one of the largest wholesale slaughter of innocent people on the horizon with the hunting down and subsequent cricket stadium executions happening with regularity now, 15000 US citizens and scores more being held hostage, Our best military equipment being left behind to arm the Taliban to the teeth.

Chaos is Black Friday at Walmart.

Take your “chaos” messaging and and shove is up you A$$ traitors. All of you!

Yeah, right. I’m expecting a press conference where Biden announces he is deploying Navy ships off the coast of Afghanistan.

I loved the Three Stooges. Spread out before insulting them by association with the knuckleheads of the Administration.

I soitenly apologize, FRiend. Just don't want the legacy of the Stooges tarnished by loose talk. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

“more in command”

That might be true. The bar was pretty low. Is Biden being in command a good thing? No. At this point, they are just trying to manage a disaster and hoping it goes away soon. Maybe they could try another fake bomb threat.

Crawling up from the basement to give a Foster Brooks personification doesn’t seem presidential to me.
