CSPAN ^ | August 16, 2020

[conservative98]

President Biden delivers remarks at the White House on the situation in Afghanistan after the Taliban seized control and the Afghan government collapsed.

[1Old Pro]

Plus he blamed afgan leaders, did it take 20 years to figure out that they had no intention of defending their country against the taliban?

[blueyon]

So this is Trumps fault because Trump wanted us to leave and did a withdraw agreement but even though Bite Me did not follow Trumps withdraw agreement, he said leaving was right.................Well then he is saying Trump was right!

[Salamander]

“I am President of the United States of America and the buck stops with me.”

Two lies, right there.

[4Liberty]

[dfwgator]

I thought his criticisms of the Afghanis was actually somewhat true.

[FlyingEagle]

What is wrong with his face? He looks like Harry Reid.

Fell off the treadmill maybe. Or got the crap beaten out of him.

He and the VP should resign in disgrace, along with all the Joint Chiefs.

Biggest humiliation of America in my lifetime, including Vietnam, where we had another political failure.

That is what this is, an epic political failure of America.

Taliban is showing great restraint to not go in to the airport strafing. I suppose they just want all those idiots out of their country.

[mware]

State Department telling American civilian not to attempt to get to airport Hide in place.

[bray]

Good thing there are no racists or homophobes in Trashcanistan or the DNC would go ballistic.

[luvie]

Toddled right off after his rambling idiotic mumbling “speech”.

[StAnDeliver]

Third time around same message... This is just scripted b-roll garbage, gives the MSM -- who collaborated on this speech -- a choice of soundbites for weeks to try and cover his ass.

NO QUESTIONS LOFL.

[EliRoom8]

And optics! It seemed as if Biden was reading off a teleprompter mounted to the side and never at the camera. He slurred his words and ran out of energy--all the while trying to be gutsy.
What do we find out Biden plans next?? He's going back to relax at Camp David! Now the American public has been watching sheer panic in Kabul for the weekend. And this is the time for Biden to get more leisure? That won't sell to the average American.

[rollo tomasi]

Only two questions are needed:

"Why did your convoluted self that we just heard abandon Bagram like a fleeting unkind parent before securing a logical exit strategy (Don't blame the DOD, buck stops at you Lid Head)?

What kind of blackmail material does China have on you? (Sorry, that was rhetorical)

Second question in two parts, will you destroy the oil pipeline that connects China to Iran via, in part, through Afghanistan militarily as opposed to the Keystone XL via regulatory? Please be consistent in saving Mother Gaia sir. How much of a cut will you, your money men, and the democrat party get from the Taliban's share? Don't insult our intelligence Lid Head."

[bray]

He drew another red line in the sand for the Taleeeban.

[1Old Pro]

He slurred his words and ran out of energy--all the while trying to be gutsy.

Not gutsy enough to answer questions, pretty lame. America can see that.

[Political Junkie Too]

Who is this, uh, General who, uh, doesn't have a, uh, name tag on his, uh, uniform?

[Bookshelf]

Recall, the State Department has a special reaction team, or at least had one, to be ready in 12 hours notice to fly into a danger spot and protect State Department assets. Hillary Clinton called them off in the case of Benghazi. Now I wonder, if they were used, or if they still exist. In any case, the Embassy was moved to the airport and appeared to have little or not protection aside from the usual Embassy safety net.

[who knows what evil?]

Bannon’s War Room in fifteen minutes...I’m sure his people are working on film clips right now.

[Responsibility2nd]

Somebody is slowing down the Teleprompter. He's speaking more slowly now. -PJ

I wonder if they insert "creepy whisper" in there.

 

Only if you actually hear him say "creepy whisper". Like when he said "Salute the Marine".

[al baby]

And dont forget he drove a big rig for Swift

[Sirius Lee]

Great questions. Good luck getting a journalist to ask them.
