President Joe Biden wanted the now-departed Afghan president to create the 'perception' that his government was capable of holding off the Taliban - an indication he knew it was only a matter of time before the US ally fell to the Islamic group even while reassuring Americans at home that it would not happen.
In the last phone call between Biden and his Afghan then-counterpart Ashraf Ghani, the American president said they needed to change perceptions of the Taliban's rapid advance 'whether it is true or not,' according to excerpts published on Tuesday.
Four weeks before Kabul collapsed, Ghani pleaded for more air support and money for soldiers who had not had a pay rise in a decade.
A transcript obtained by Reuters reveals two leaders oblivious to the impending disaster and an American president focused on spinning the message.
'I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,' Biden said.
'And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.'

I saw an interview today with a Special Forces officer who had contacts in Afghanistan. When Bagram was abandoned and the Afghan military lost air support, they began to panic and threw in the towel. Ghani preparing to leave the country only added to the problem. The Taliban had taken Kandahar and was moving up route 101 in a huge column......air strikes could have decimated the Taliban advance but we did not take advantage of the situation.
But dressed in a suit when he walked up stairs to plane.
Ok say we did that. We launch an air strikes against the Taliban. It would buy us maybe a year. Then we leave. The Taliban will eventually overthrow the corrupt Afghan government. At this rate, we’ll have to be there for another 100 years before the Afghan government would manage to be able to find for itself and that’s being ambitious.
they have a banner up saying
BIden’s Lethal Lie
Trump would have.
Stuff has leaked out during other administrations, besides Bidens. In relation to the shit that came out during Trump’s term of office, none of it was true, but the Democrats pursued impeachment, and other means to eliminate the man. In the case of the other administrations like Clinton, Bush, and Obama, Clinton survived impeachment because Republicans refused to convict him. Democrats rattled their sabers, and again went with lies to get Scooter Libby indicted. Obama was let off Scott-free. Nobody paid the price for Benghazi, and the same thing will happen this time. If any hearings on Biden’s actions will even be allowed to occur, nothing will come of them, because nothing significant ever occurs during any Congressional hearings, especially if Republicans are in power.
The knew the tolleybon would win and they still left all of that equipment and cash.
The inescapable conclusion is that they wanted them to have it.
It was part of the plan.
Exactly what the Democrats do constantly, on just about everything: “Project a different picture ... Whether it’s true or not.”
Wouldn’t that be great!? Make them all re-apply, and properly get them before hire.
p
Trump got impeached for his “Perfect phone call” with Ukraine..I wonder if Dementia Joe will be impeached for this phone call which is HORRIBLE..shows Biden knew it all and didnt care, wanted “Projection” to make him look good
They are saying that nobody knew the Afghan army would fold so quickly. But that’s a terrible excuse, because you should not make such an important military decision (to leave Bagram) based on the hopes that an ally, over which you have little if any control, will perform well. We absolutely needed to hold Bagram as a precaution in case the Afghan army wasn’t strong enough. Bagram was very secure and was able to project a lot of deadly force if needed. Giving up Bagram was possibly the worst military decision in human history, and Biden was the Commander-in-Chief who either ordered it, or at the very least, allowed it to happen.
Were the advisors the same ones that advised Jussie Smollet as he crafted his false narrative?
Unfortunately I agree. The system is corrupt to the core.
Biden knew, and he knew Pakistamn was providing logistic support and intel as well as ocassinal air cover for the Taliban.
The president of Afghanistan asked for intell and air support. Biden refused.Biden knew tha Taliban wouod take over.It was no surprise. Joe was counting on it.
Why f**k around with these CRT a$$hats ( Biden , Susan Rice, Jarrett, Obama)who believe that America is a White Supremacist country engaged in coloniial adventures in Afghanistan , along with NATO WHite Supremacist colonial allies? America and its allies must be PUNISHED!Joe is tha man to do it. This is the true story of the CRT subversion and treason of America.
Based on that “apologist for America” exhibited constantly by both Obama and Biden since about 2009 WHY NOT JUST SAY THE TRUTH.
Biden used this situiatiuon purposefully to arm and recognize a terrorist organization supported by Pakistan and China based on . They did the same in Benghazi, only that screwed up royally thanks to a few Navy Seals, some who gave their lives.
This way of withdrawing from Afghanistan was an exercise in grift and treason for the purpose of historical justioce, America has exploted too many black , brown and yellow people. Blincken even knuckled under to China when he forst met with them on the issue of Interantional Human Rights.
And Biden , Blinkin and others should not only be impeached for these crimes, they should be subject to a Congressional order of electoral decertification to void everything Joe has done, the evidence is in those 5 swing states in order for for Congress to do so.
No President is Mr. Biden, he is alligned with both China and Pakistan, thanks to his graft and corruption via his son Hunter.
Or maybe Biden needs to attend the soccer stadium in Kabul to participate as a subject to the tender mercies of the Taliban in taking Biden’s head. Its theirs anyway.
Thats a show I would gladly watch.”Taliban Behead Joe Biden.” They have already done so figuratively. America rejects Biden as president and wants to leave him behnd in Afghaniztan,. just like Joe did with so many others, even his own rescuer/translator.Most Americans would not cross the street to piss on Joe Biden even if he was on fire.
Would Biden notice that he was missing his head?
Pressured a foreign government to put him in a good light?? Hope Nancy is drawing up those articles of impeachment...she would have been kind enough to for Trump.
Would Biden notice that he was missing his head?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Not so far. He is keeping it tucked under his watch arm
like the headless horseman. Glancing at his watch is much less noticeable.
