Biden says 'I was right' about the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal in response to damning State Department report slamming HIS administration's failure to plan for the chaos
Daily Mail ^ | 6/30/23 | Wills Robinson

A defiant President Joe Biden stood by his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and shrugged off a damning State Department report condemning his administration's failure to prepare for the country's rapid collapse.

He was responding to the Supreme Court's decision to block his $400 billion student loan forgiveness plan when a reporter asked for his reaction to the internal review of events leading to chaotic scenes in Kabul in August 2021.

'Remember what I said? I said al-Qaeda wouldn't be there. I said we'd get help from the Taliban. What's happening now? What's going on? Read your press. I was right,' Biden said before walking away.

The investigation found serious pitfalls in leadership and questions about who was in charge before and during the mayhem, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and hundreds of Afghan civilians.

Before the mayhem unfolded, Biden promised a safe withdrawal and said it was 'highly unlikely' the Taliban would take over Afghanistan.

The Biden administration publicly released only half of the 87-page report laying out the disastrous end of 20 years of U.S. involvement on the Friday before the July 4 holiday.

It will likely lead to fury from Republicans and veterans who have long accused the Biden administration of trying to shrug off its actions in the build-up to August 2021.

The conclusion confirmed what critics have long thought, that there was a litany of strategic failures as the Taliban overran cities and there wasn't enough consideration given to 'worst-case scenarios'.

As a result, thousands of allies who helped the U.S. in the war were left behind, and there was chaos at Hamid Karzai International Airport as men, women and children tried desperately to flee.

Even though planning for the evacuation of Kabul began 'some time' beforehand...

> Biden says ‘I was right’ about the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal <

The worst thing here is not that Biden would say that. The worst thing is that the mainstream media will accept Biden’s statement without question. No questioning, no investigation, no doubts.

Instead, let’s move on to cover all the crimes that Trump supposedly committed.

Gates called Biden a man of integrity but wrote that he believes he’s “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

Something has changed.
Biden is NOT just yelling at Americans.
He is obviously yelling at his supporters behind the curtain.
This is the real reason the Left is worried.
He is going to be ready for a straight jacket by Dec.

Sad that the generals at the Pentagon didn’t have any problem disobeying Trump at every turn and angle. But Biden gives out an extreme dangerous consequential order and the bastards say how high! Bastards would’ve jumped off the cliff if ordered by the veggie!! I believe our generals let military men and women along our country AMERICA and us down big time. Blame can go around 100 times over but I blame the military generals most of all! I’ll never forget the way the unvetted muslims rushed those planes and people were falling off the airplane wheels in midair to their deaths. And not one person in the Pentagon, or in the veggies’s administration, including the old fart were held accountable. I hate this double standard shit ….hate it. WE’VE HAD ENOUGH!

When they don’t get enough mentally ill joining up for free sex mutilation surgery, They’ll have to enact the draft. Yes, I foresee a lot of non-compliance when that happens with
