Joe Biden defended the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, two decades after NATO forces invaded the country and toppled the Taliban regime following September 11, 2001, as he blamed Donald Trump and the Afghan security services for the anarchy engulfing the country.
Speaking from the White House, the US President – who had returned from his ‘vacation’ at Camp David – told the American nation that the Taliban’s astonishing sweep to power and seizure of the capital city Kabul this month had happened ‘more quickly’ than he had anticipated.
His address came as Americans woke up to images of terrified Afghans plummeting from the engines of an airborne US Air Force C-17 jet above Hamid Karzai International Airport, as hundreds of other desperate locals attempted to escape the theocratic rule of the Taliban.
Biden also said that the airport is safe for Americans to evacuate but it seems that was another lie!
All gates at Hamid Karzai International Airport were closed Saturday because of a backup at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, according to a Defense Department official who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Most U.S. military evacuation planes fly from Kabul to Qatar and the inability to handle more evacuees there is causing a ripple effect.
Pentagon officials said Saturday they continue to process evacuees from Afghanistan, despite a fluid and dynamic situation at Kabul airport.
“The airport remains secure,” said Army Maj. Gen. William Taylor, deputy director of the joint staff for regional operations. “There has been no reported change to the current enemy situation in and around the airport at this time.”
But as our administration continues to spread propaganda the reality shows that people are getting shoot as they try to enter the airport!
WATCH (warning: graphic video)

Also, reports are allegedly coming in from French intelligence that ISIS Khorasan has entered the Kabul Airport.
American citizens in Afghanistan should stay away from the international airport in Kabul, the U.S. Embassy now says.
“Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time,” according to a Saturday security alert from the embassy.
Thank Joe Biden for this mess!
Can anyone write these days?
““Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time,” according to a Saturday security alert from the embassy.”
Shelter in place and wait for the door to come crashing down?
Knew that was coming. They are hear in America to. Came across the border I am betting.
Distraction and news blackout in 3, 2, 1....there will not be a ticking deatheter or rapeometer On CNN like they would for trump or bushy mcHitler
Is the Cinnabon kiosk still open? I love that shid when I am waiting for a plane.
I read a bit ago from CNN that no flights have gone out at time of reporting for over 12 hours.
I heard they have a Cinnabomb instead. Very explosive stuff
How long until that airport is overrun?
1. Come on mannnn. Nobody is killing anybody.
2. We’ve been in constant com with the tall-EE-bahn and they’ve assured us folks just need to show their passports.
3. No one is keeping folks from the airport. Uber/Lyft folks are standing by.
🐂💩🚷
what difference does it make, the post is someone trying to make a point and made a mistake, the point is understood by anyone looking at the post, with so much going on in Afghanistan, the news is constantly breaking, it makes no difference to me that someone might misspell or misuse a word.....Lighten up Francis...
Who is the JV now? Let's ask Barack.
It’s not ISIS, it’s just the Taliban TSA.
Cinnabomb. Just Dynamite!
Or the first captured Stinger takes out a plane?
I do not read anything from any website that has zero transparency as to who they are, who owns them, who runs them.
“The airport remains secure,” said Army Maj. Gen. William Taylor, deputy director of the joint staff for regional operations. “There has been no reported change to the current enemy situation in and around the airport at this time.”
“Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time,” according to a Saturday security alert from the embassy.
The airport is secure, with the exception of the heavily armed Muslim terrorists surrounding it.
And there you have it folks! Don’t ever underestimate cheating Beijing Joe to F things up. Quoting Obama just quoting Obama!
Know Islam, no peace.
Obama pulls troops out while the Iraqi government is unprepared to create ISIS. Biden pulls troops out of Afghanistan without preparing the government and all Hells broke lose. Bush gets rid of Sadam creating instability in the middle east. Globalists working on weakening America’s position in the world!
