Afghanistan is falling under Taliban control at an alarming pace while the president goes on vacation.
“Is a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan now inevitable?” a reporter asked Joe Biden in July following the administration’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops.
“No. It is not,” Biden firmly responded.
President Biden is not being honest.
Biden: "The Afghan troops have 300k well-equipped, as well-equipped as any army in the world…"

Ultimately, the president ordered 3,000 troops to go back to Afghanistan to help evacuate American civilians.
The situation at the US Embassy in #Kabul is more dire than what the State Department is saying. Mail has stopped. Nearly all employees are packing up and a very small number will head to another location. Staff are gearing up to destroy sensitive papers, computers, phones.

Biden has left the White House for his Wilmington vacation, pooler @weijia reports.
— Steven Portnoy (@stevenportnoy) August 12, 2021 No wonder former Defense Secretary Robert Gates stood by his famous statement that Joe Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Margaret Brennan asked [Robert] Gates if he stood by a statement from his memoir that Biden has "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."
"I think I stand by that statement," Gates said.https://t.co/tgqnekKW6k pic.twitter.com/WJUUptOYkq
— America Rising (@AmericaRising) August 12, 2021 Joe Gierut, America Rising PAC Communications Director: “Despite Joe Biden’s assurances to the contrary, Afghanistan is falling under Taliban control at an alarming pace while the President goes on vacation. Former colleague Robert Gates said himself that Biden was wrong about ‘nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.’ It appears that trend has continued and his lack of leadership has caused disastrous consequences.”
There’s a huge difference between well equipped and well trained.
The daily naps are not enough.
so Joe couldn’t find the White House the other day when it was like 20 feet to his right
In the sixties, the radicals would provoke the police and on camera shriek, “the whole world is watching”. With Biden, its “the whole world is laughing”.
Let's not forget China has become very aggressive in the South China Sea and toward Taiwan.
Let's not forget that are economy is being devastated by inflation and stagflation due to endless unpaid for spending.
Let's not forget that our freedoms and liberties diminish by the day.
Let's not for get that the 2020 election was stolen.
Xiden needs to take a permanent vacation.
Pray for our soldiers.
Otherwise, I am not to sure I want to be in a war with a dementia patient as CC?
Let’s face it Biden isn’t running this administration.

Let’s face it Biden isn’t running this administration.
The US is run by a Committee of Crazy Persons
Jobama is one huge cluster f*(k.
Are the troops going back into combat?
I understand they are securing the embassy and airfields to extract the Embassy staff and others.
He’s been in office a little more than 6 months. He has done more damage in those 6 months than even Carter did in an entire term in office. My mind still hasn’t come to terms that this man is
the President of the USA.
I’m so afraid that 6 months from now we are going to look back on this time as “The Good Old Days”.
Seriously
I say that every day......................
Yes, but to be fair somebody should have told him they moved it overnight.
It’s not a vacation he’s going for Alzheimer’s treatment where it can be hidden.
Amen
Seriously, they are serving our country and are constantly in harm's way. And now without a President to lead.
This is a poorly written article and the headline is deceptive.
Biden has taken to monetary bribery to get the Taliban to agree not to attack the American embassy when they take Kabul. Why monetary bribery? Offer them Talban mindset California in exchange for leaving the embassy unharmed. That is one bribe the Taliban would live to regret taking.
