Not sure if anyone is watching the pentagon briefing. But I’ve never had less confidence in our military then I do now, (leadership, not boots).

The general in charge was asked about rumors that afghan soldiers are flying jets to other countries. He said “I don’t know” and he’ll look into it.

Meanwhile the spokesman, Kirby, when asked about the failure at the airport responded by saying he takes to task her calling it a failure.

No mention of our troops in Kabul right now?? How they’ll get out??

How about the 10,000 American civilians still there?! Nothing, no mention of them or how far along their evacuation is.

"And taking no questions and the media not demanding unscripted questions is the icing on the cake."

Easy to see why! Why, he might have been quizzed about what he said on July 8, 2021!

From Posobiec ... which points out that Xiden's scriptwriter did not do due diligence in giving Xiden cover ...

“Helping Afghanistan become self-sustaining is going to be a monumental task. It's going to take up to a decade, and more blood will be spilled and more treasure will be spent. But I think it's important”- Joe Biden, 2008

One more time, Biden, you drooling senile dementia-patient:

IT'S NOT THE DECISION, IT IS THE INCOMPETENT WAY IT WAS EXECUTED!

What's going to fry Xiden out of this press gargle is not his senility, it's not the idiotic speech, it's the fact he turned heel and ran out the door. He hit a slow news week and there's not enough other news to stop le deluge. Just look at FreeRepublic, what a relief to give the goddamn gleep threads a rest...

I believe youtube comments constitute a more representative average and better indicator of what people think than say FreeRepublic. You see right, left, libertarians, a-political people and nutcases all mixed together, and if this is true than virtually no one supports the incompetent in the White House.
