Joe Biden will stick with 31 August withdrawal deadline - Reuters
SKY News ^ | August 24, 2021

Posted on 08/24/2021 8:44:33 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The US president has agreed with a Pentagon recommendation to stick with his planned withdrawal deadline, despite pressure from NATO allies, an administration official has told Reuters news agency.

However, Mr Biden has asked for contingency plans to be made to stay longer should it be necessary.

US officials will also tell the Taliban that being able to remove troops by next Tuesday will depend on whether the insurgents continue to cooperate.

The Pentagon had recommended the US stick to the initial date because of security risks to American forces at the airport.

UK government officials have previously said British troops will likely need to withdraw at the same time as the US.

And how many thousands of American citizens will he leave to be butchered by the Taliban? They claim to have rescued 36,000+ Afghans but only a few thousand American citizens. WHY? There is sufficient fighting force there to go out, like the French and English did, but Biden has morphed from the Commander in Chief into the Chicken in Chief so tell them to STAND DOWN!.

And Afghans who are related to those who aided American forces have already been sentenced to death.

Why so skeptical? Biden had the CIA Director do a pinky promise with the top Taliban guy.

May be, but XiJinBiden is also Xi Jinping’s ‘little play thing’, at least until Jinping can arrange for a puppet who can STICK TO HIS (that is, Xi Jinping’s) PLAN, rather than cock it up, as XiJinBiden did! His cock-ups have cost the ChiComs much more time, money and effort, to gain control over the minerals of Afghanistan, than they planned for.

They also know that most of America, like the ChiComs, have no faith in Heels-up Kamaltoe, so Alzheimer Joe will remain, at least for now.
