Biden lies on his support for Afghanistan military action, dismisses military casualties during withdrawal as inevitable

In an interview with CBS TV’s Rita Braver, resident Biden disgraced himself with a big lie about his past record of supporting the use of military force in Afghanistan, compounding it with an evasion of responsibility for the 13 military causalities suffered during his botched withdrawal operation.

Via Fox News

Biden's claim to have opposed the war "from the very beginning" echoed remarks he made in a 2019 interview with the editorial board of New Hampshire's Seacoast Media Group.

"I'm the guy that – as has been pointed out repeatedly – that thought we should not be going into Afghanistan," he said at the time.

Biden did not oppose the invasion of Afghanistan, however. Then a senator from Delaware, he joined his colleagues in a unanimous vote in support of the 2001 authorization of military force against "nations, organizations, or persons" that then-President George W. Bush determined to have helped perpetrate the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Even worse, when you think about it, he insulted the military and national security personnel who advised him not to abandon Bagram Air Base and who advised him to leave a small presence. It also is an insult to the service members killed since he’s basically saying he knew their deaths were inevitable.

The R's and D's would still be airlifting afghans to the heartland right now. The ‘taliban’ had a plan of infiltrating afghan forces, ngo’s, government for a while. The US was dancing in their palm for long enough. Let them all starve now.

That was the number on that day. However many were left in critical condition and we have not heard a word about them. It could be way more, we just don’t know.
