Taiwan must be shaking in their boots right now, listening to Biden blame the Afghanis for not defending themselves after we pulled out in the middle of the night and didn't tell anyone.

Sounds like he’s “owning” his tragic mistake ... but only to a point.

It's a pure offense speech. He cannot afford to admit in any way that he screwed up.

He’s gone to pulling heartstrings. He’s not addressing the situation on the ground or the political optics.

There is no way to salvage this situation and they know it.

Worse is to come. The visuals supplied and broadcast by the Taliban will be brutal.

In the time it took to give this speech, innocents were made to kneel down to be shot and pushed in a hole by bearded savages with U.S. weapons.

Not addressing the current issue, just reviewing the past and the earlier decision to pull out.
