Biden to address the nation on Afghanistan
NY Post ^ | 08/31/2021 | Emily Crane

President Joe Biden will address the nation later today – nearly 24 hours after the final American troops departed Afghanistan in a frantic exit that left hundreds of stranded US citizens in the Taliban-run nation.

Soon after the final US transport planes left Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport – marking the end of America’s longest war – Biden issued a written statement saying he would address the nation at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Biden later pushed back his speech to 2:45 p.m.

The president has drawn fierce criticism for the chaotic withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of 13 US service members and — contrary to his public commitments — left behind US citizens who were seeking to leave.

He’s going to take “credit” for getting us out the mess GWB put us in and Trump extended. Nothing will be said about the 8 years under Obama. And the MSM will report it as historical.

Why doesn’t this coward address the nation in prime time as most President’s have?

I pledge to not tune in and suggest no one tune in.

We should all be through, finished, done with hearing anything Biden says, on any subject.

I’m guessing we’ll get a vaccine update and a hurricane update. Mixed in will be self-praise for “ending” the war in Afghanistan.

Biden will take a few planted questions, then he’ll shuffle off. Exit, stage right.

Whoever is in charge over there (Pelosi?), just Please Don’t.
That’s just more elder abuse.
Not to mention how bad he makes the country look.
Let him hide in the WH basement until February 2023 when they can oust him in favor of the cackling imbecile that is his VP.
Not that she’ll be much better.

Exactly right.

Biden will make some cheap concerned and sad faces and try to stop looking at his watch. Aide should say “Uh, I’ll take that watch until you’re done. For safe keeping.”

And the sickening trend of trying to make the Taliban reinvented as not so bad guys who became really good guys-——is infuriating.

Don’t forget that we will have to hear about Beau again. And that this was all Trumps idea.

Shouldn’t someone be able to make a betting

And my eyes are wide open to the challenges my brilliant plan faces as I look to the future of world peace.

He’ll keep dishing it out until it sticks to the wall and improves his popularity.

And “it” is a few letters short of what’s really being tossed around.

1:30 p.m.? Biden later pushed back his speech to 2:45 p.m.

I’ll take 3:30 p.m. EST in the pool.
