'That was four or five days ago!' Biden snaps at George Stephanopoulos for mentioning photos of Afghans falling from planes in Kabul and suggests there's no way America could have gotten out 'without chaos ensuing'

President Joe Biden angrily defended his handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying on Wednesday that chaos was unavoidable and snapping when asked about horrific images of Afghans falling from planes.
'That was four days ago, five days ago,' he said, even though the images of people falling to their deaths emerged on Monday.
The combative moment came during an interview with former Clinton White House official George Stephanopoulos for ABC News.
Biden has avoided taking questions on the Afghanistan crisis for more than a week.
The White House has been on the defensive for weeks as Taliban fighters raced across the country.
And officials have struggled to explain how they failed to forecast the rapid fall of Kabul and to account for chaotic scenes at the city's airport as the embassy was evacuated.

The next time someone brings up the Jan 6 trespassing incident at the capitol to Trump, he should answer: "That was 7 months ago."
I wonder how well that will go over with the jackals in the media.

They could not care less about precious American lives, obviously. They don’t even care about being embarrassed.

...it’s almost as though that was the deliberate plan. I mean, it’s so colossally incompetent you couldn’t imagine the world biggest moron thinking this was well thought out.
Can you imagine what China & Russia must be thinking? This guy is Neville Chamberlain on crack.

“And also failed to explain how the Afghan president was able to escape with $169 million of our taxpayer money and how they plan on getting that money back.”

If I could make memes, I would make one with an image of Willem Dafoe in Platoon, after being shot as the helicopter takes off and being left behind.

Little known fact about Benghazi, Kadaffi loyalists got the Americans out of Benghazi and Libya. Amb. Stevens was in Libya in preparation for a Hillary victory lap in November for killing Kadaffi!!!
