Biden defends Afghanistan withdrawal on 9/11 anniversary: 'How else could you get out?’
Fox News ^ | September 11, 2021 | Adam Shaw

President Biden on Saturday again defended the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, arguing that the vast majority of Americans wanted to get out -- and asking "How else could you get out?"

Biden was speaking to reporters in Shanksville, Pa., on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and was asked about whether the withdrawal of the U.S. forces at the end of August marks a new phase for the country.

"If you had told anybody that we were going to spend $300 million a day for 20 years to try to unite the country after we got [Usama] bin Laden, after al Qaeda was wiped out there," he said. "Can al Qaeda come back? Yeh but guess what? It's already back in other places."

"What's the strategy? Every place where al Qaeda is, we're going to invade and have troops there? Come on," he said.

Orderly turn-over vs leave in the middle of the night?

Decision, decisions.

“’How else could you get out?’”

Almost any way except the incompetent bumbling Biden way would have been an improvement.

How about withdrawing the winter and not during the fighting season ? How about keeping the main military air base. What about not telegraphing your every move and date ! Now about getting all your civilians and contractors during the winter time frame which tends to be a quiet time. How about evacuating ALL the military equipment ?

Four ROTC dropouts with 38 cans of beer could make a better plan on a Friday night that the Plan you used ! FU Joe Biden.

I am so sick of this “Come on” stuff. He’s nasty, disrespectful and dumb as a post. Put a sock in it, Joe.

Perhaps coordinate with your NATO allies beforehand?

"How else could you get out?"

Careful and complete planning.

1. Withdraw the military LAST.
2. Get every American and Afghani civilian we promised to get out, out--mission objective #1.
3. Plan truthfully and fully with our ALLIES.
4. Advise the Afghan Army every step of the way.
5. Wait until the snow closes the high passes before withdrawing our forces.

Conflating getting out with HOW we got out, great trick if you can pull it off.

The goal here is to confuse the Masses so they are as confused as pResident Adolph Stolen.

You could have asked any 10 yr old, Joetato Brain.

Joetato: “We have a bunch of people in harm’s way. Some are military and some are civilians. Who should we get out first?”

10 yr old: “Is this a trick question?”

It’s not uncommon for stupid people to act like jerks. They think that acting aggressive and rude will cover up their stupidity.

Biden appears to be one of those people. What a jackwagon.

How else were we going to get out? Asks Biden.

Gee, how about successfully? With Al Qaida there killed off, with the cooperation of the other allies, rather than sneaking out in the middle of the night? With dignity? With All the Americans and vetted Afghan allies? With our expensive and dangerous weapons?

How else indeed! The sad thing is, there are those who agree with and support that man. SMH

Yet bush kept silent about the 85 billion arsenal we left behind and especially the 13 brave military men and women that lost their lives because of dementia Joe’s incompetency. And he’s got the nerve to say that the patriots are the terrorists? HOW EFFIN DARE HIM!! I hate the bush clang never thought I would say that after all the years I defended the bastard monkey face chimp @$$hole to my liberal family! Never again.
