Psaki Claims Biden’s Afghanistan Crisis Is ‘A Success,’ Appears To Admit Admin Expects Some Will Be Left Behind
https://www.dailywire.com ^ | Aug 24, 2021 | Staff

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was grilled during Tuesday’s press briefing over the administration’s disaster in Afghanistan.

Psaki said that completion of the operation to evacuate U.S. citizens depended “on continued coordination with the Taliban,” adding that Biden has requested contingency plans from the Pentagon.

She later added that the evacuations would stop before the August 31 deadline so there was time to get U.S. forces out of the country. Psaki did not know whether the deadline was at midnight on August 30 or 31 and whether it was U.S. time or Afghanistan time.

When asked about at least one example of a person who was fleeing Afghanistan that had ties to ISIS, Psaki claimed that the administration had a “stringent vetting process, which includes background checks.”

When confronted about people who are in Afghanistan, who are saying that they are “stranded,” Psaki solicited the media to forward her contact information of anyone who was in Afghanistan and having a hard time getting out.

This transcends willful ignorance and flirts with treasonous contempt.

What difference does it make now?

The entire Xiden administration is so completely and unabashedly full of $hit. But none of them lie with the same mendacity and alacrity as Frau Goebbles, the Ginger (a/k/a Psaki).

"Psaki did not know whether the deadline was at midnight on August 30 or 31 and whether it was U.S. time or Afghanistan time."

Just like Dementiajoe, who likely doesn't even remember where Afghanistan is.

I think the people left behind might have a different take on the "success" or not of the operation.

We've been at war with the Taliban for 20 years. Now the illegal, incompetent Biden farce is negotiating with our enemies to let us have our people back. What do you think he (well, his handlers) are going to offer them? They already have billions of dollars worth of military equipment. Hey Joe, why don't you offer them spare parts and maintenance manuals for all that gear? Throw in a tub of ice cream too, jack*ss.

Deep State might very well consider it a success, God help us.

If it’s such a success, Jen, go on over there and live for a few years.

We won’t miss you.

Psaki did not know whether the deadline was at midnight on August 30 or 31 and whether it was U.S. time or Afghanistan time.

That was the key to the ending of Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne (published 1872 as a serial, 1873 as a book).

According to Shmoop.com analysis: In the end, then, fate plays a role in a world constantly bombarded with technology, change, science, and mathematics. Verne uses the ending of Around the World in Eighty Days to show that life holds a bit more than we think; not everything can be calculated precisely. Sometimes it's the human relationships that define us and help us win.

The competition for top liar in that administration is intense. Susan Rice would be right up there if she wasn't behind the scenes. Kamala isn't known as a truth-teller. And, how come they haven't rehired Marie Harf?
