One year ago, Biden promised to 'stay' in Afghanistan until 'all' Americans got out. He didn't keep his word

Hundreds of Americans have been evacuated from Afghanistan and thousands of Afghan allies remain since President Biden broke his promise – which he made one year ago, today – to keep military boots on the ground until we "get them all out."

On Aug. 18, 2021, three days after the Taliban seized the capital of Kabul and forced the U.S. Embassy there to evacuate, Biden told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that intelligence did not indicate that a Taliban takeover was likely, despite numerous reports to the contrary. The president also said the U.S. military would "stay" in Afghanistan until all Americans and Afghan allies were evacuated.

"If there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay to get them all out," Biden said at the time.

"Are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every American who wants to be out is out?" Stephanopoulos asked the president.

"Yes," Biden responded.

Further proof that Joe isn’t calling the shots.

He doesn’t have to keep his word. He’s a Democrat.

He’s a politician.

If he kept his word, all the other rodents in DC would drum him out.

Keeping promises…. -Can’t have that…

I find it hard to be sympathetic towards people who were granted U.S. citizenship yet choose to live in their native land. One suspects that citizenship = welfare fraud.

He never keeps his word. Where’s the cure for cancer. He’s non compos mentis.

I’ll bet NO ONE in the White House even mentions Afghanistan to him anymore. I’ll also bet he couldn’t point it out on a map, now. His mind is gone.

A few hundred dead Americans is nothing Barak would care about.

Biden is the talking puppet for Obama the Muslim & Valerie Jarrett who was born in Iran.

She won't do it, because she wants to lose and blame it on Trump.

Biden lied? And the press didn’t give a damn? What’s next did he pinch a little girl’s nipple WHILE CAMERAS WERE ROLLING AND THE PRESS DIDN’T ‘NOTICE’ -(BECAUSE HE HAD A ‘D’ BY HIS NAME)
