The vice president confirmed she was the last person in the room before Biden made the decision to move forward with withdrawing U.S. troops.

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” Harris was asked about being the last person in the room regarding major decisions, something that Biden has said is important to him in his working relationship with the vice president. Harris confirmed that was the case regarding the move to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by Sept. 11.

I’m sure the Americans waiting to be beheaded are pleased to hear this.

Biden is saying that he inherited a deal made by President Trump.

Trump's "deal" was that he would withdraw our troops but if they started anything they would be bombed out of existence at the first sign. Biden just watched.

The UN will probably put them on their Human Rights panel.

She clearly has no idea concerning the nature of the albatross she’s proudly hung around her own neck.

A confession from a leftist. How refreshing.

Under a President Pelosi, who would be Vice President?

Thanks
I did not even notice that it was a story from April. Thought as many that it was from today.

Of all times for Kamala to pop up out of her foxhole.
The surprise is she is not distancing herself from
this snowballing cluster-fk.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One thing she definitely is NOT: intelligent. She’s also ‘tone deaf’ on just about anything other than crochet (maybe that, too).

Oh really?
See a “little bit” of political judgement and “real world” political maneuvering is appropriate at times: “When faced with a foreign policy disaster, a good politician does not admit to having a crucial or influential role in the development of that failed strategy!”

Thus, when Kamala is caught on tape (video in this case) admitting to influencing the disaster of leaving Afghanistan violently and on our butts with (another!) embassy rooftop evacuation), she is revealing her stupidity at being able to be blamed for the problem!
At least Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Schumer had the “brains” to try to blame Trump for their failed strategy!

Pelosi's statement, however, was from today.

The President is to be commended for the clarity of purpose of his statement on Afghanistan and his action. The Taliban must know the world is watching its actions. We are concerned about reports regarding the Taliban’s brutal treatment of all Afghans, especially women and girls.

This was from April, when she thought they were being "courageous" and "doing the right thing."

Not so much, today.
