White House: Harris ‘Was at the Center’ of Planning of Afghanistan Withdrawal
Breitbart ^ | 09/11/2024 | an Hanchett

Posted on 09/11/2024 5:52:13 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview on Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central” that took place before that night’s presidential debate, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby responded to a question on if Vice President Kamala Harris worked in lockstep with President Biden on the withdrawal from Afghanistan by stating that “she was at the center of” “the policy discussions and the planning that went into the withdrawal,” “as she would be as Vice President.”

Co-host John Berman read from the House Republican report on Afghanistan and asked, “The idea of Harris working in lockstep with President Biden on the Afghan withdrawal. Is that accurate?

Kirby responded, “She certainly was at the table for all those national security decisions. She’s spoken herself about her support for the decision to end the war and her contribution to the policy discussions and the planning that went into the withdrawal, if she was at the center of that, of course, as she would be as Vice President. But this idea, first of all, that they’re now throwing her into this, [it] clearly just shows the partisan nature of this report and the political nature of it. The timing of it here, coming the day before the debate, it’s hard to escape that. But this idea that either the Vice President or the President were just recklessly moving to this withdrawal without concern to Afghan women and girls just flies in the face of the facts. That is not true.”

Did Kamala plan for all those people to fall to their deaths by clinging on to an airplane trying to escape the hell hole they were being left in?

Doesn’t seem like something Harris would want to be associated with, nor does it seem like anything she’d have useful ideas about. You’d think they’d want to push the disaster onto Biden, but I guess they’re trying to make her seem relevant in big decisions, no matter how bad the results were.

He’s just done the US and the world a great favor and threw Kamala under the bus. Bless the POS Kirby.

Here’s how this is supposed to work in order to gain any respect from fighting epic dumb ideas like these. If you fight the good fight but in the end, the only option is to resign, then do so. Otherwise you’re on board with them.

Since her people won’t tell her this I figure it’s up to us good guys to do it.

No different than what Harris herself said last night in trying to make herself seem relevant as a world leader by saying that she met with Zelensky and then three days later the Russians invaded. A real Madame Foreign Policy right there, I tell ya.

Then why haven’t they corresponded or met with the bereaved families of the Marines killed in their panicked withdrawal?

Yeah - so far as I know, nobody's been reamed about it, called out on the carpet, fired, resigned in disgrace. So I have to assume they got the result that was desired and are happy with it.

Of course not.

Because Democrats really DO have the best of intentions.

Unfortunately, good intentions really ARE what the road to Hell is paved with.

And despite all of their excellent intentions, Americans and allies died, billions of dollars in tax-payer paid-for military equipment was lost to one of the most dictatorial regimes on the planet today.

Trump’s policies worked. The Democrats malign his policies, intentions, and results because they live in a deep psychosis, totally detached from reality.

Guilt and cowardice. Why else? Instead they snipe at Trump for being supportive, and at them for taking pictures at Arlington.

Seems like part of a "deal" made by Biden just before he was "dropped like dog." (paraphrasing President Trump's words of last night."

"You're complicit in EVERYTHING my administration did, and if you try to distance yourself from me, I'll expose you to my friends in the MSM and to the Swamp dwellers." (from 125 anonymous sources in the IC)

The MSM doesn’t GAGS. So thirteen peasants lost their lives needlessly. So allies and friends were left in the lurch and abandoned in a third-world SH. So billions in military equipment were left behind and grabbed up by the worst people. So a friendly and his ten kids were accidentally bombed. So a key airbase fell into enemy hands. So America’s image and credibility is tarnished forever.

BFD. Kamala brings joy! Trump says mean things on X and Truth Social. He’s a threat to our demoncrazy.
