President Biden will address the nation on Monday as more U.S. forces are on their way to Afghanistan to help with the evacuation of American personnel and allies.
It will be the first time Biden has spoken publicly since the Taliban moved into Kabul, Afghanistan's capital.
The president, who has been following the crisis overseas from Camp David, is returning to the White House on Monday afternoon. He is planning to address the public from the East Room at 3:45 p.m.
Biden's Choices In Afghanistan Were Complicated. So Is The Fallout He Faces Biden's remarks come as his top allies defend the administration in the face of increasing criticism — from both parties — over how the crisis has unfolded.
Republican lawmakers and some Democrats have criticized the administration's withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
"This is President Biden's Saigon moment," House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., said Sunday on CBS' Face the Nation, referring to the chaotic departure from Vietnam in 1975. "And, unfortunately, it was very predictable. It seems like many in President Biden's intelligence community got this devastatingly wrong."
Republicans have also criticized Biden for remaining at Camp David, out of public view and away from reporters
On Monday morning, national security adviser Jake Sullivan argued that the United States succeeded in its mission to hold those responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and that remaining in the country was not sustainable.
"Despite the fact that we spent 20 years and tens of billions of dollars to give the best equipment, the best training and the best capacity to the Afghan national security forces, we could not give them the will," Sullivan said on NBC. "And they ultimately decided that they would not fight for Kabul and they would not fight for the country."
I love watching people read other peoples words off a teleprompter. It is like watching other people play video games on youtube.
Curious how this is gonna turn out.
Why? Is the world waiting with bated breath to find out what Biden thinks?
I bet we’ll hear Harris in the background shouting , “they’ll not pin this $hit on me”
Taliban not the enemy
real enemy are the DC globalist, deep state Marxists who control Sleepy Joe
“Here is my address: a big house painted white. Thank you and good night.”
Boo!!! Get off the stage...!! Boo!! Hiss!!!
His staff are looking up as many two syllable or less words as they can so as not to make the POS-resident look even more like a clueless asshat than he is.

And Chris Wallace and Brett Bair (sp?) Have their responses to his statement already written out and ready to go. It Wil, probably include
“One of the most powerful, speeches we’ve heard yet. President elect Joe Biden sounded even more like a true leader than before, if thats even possible. And. America owes him a debt of gratitude for his brilliant decision to leave Afghanistan, and pull Our country out of the mess that Trump got us into “
Then they’ll grab a napkin to wipe the brown off their noses while pretending they are bipartisan fair and balanced etc etc etc
TRUMP’S FAULT....TRUMP’S FAULT...TRUMP’S FAULT!!
I have to admit a certain morbid curiosity as how his handlers are going to spin this.
81 million fraudlent voters will rally behind the Commander in Chief at a time of crisis.
Should he announce his resignation?
She claimed on TV to have played a “key role” in the decision
Never gonna happen. He’s the Left’s puppet. They don’t want to cede control to Kamamamalalala while Biden’s still capable of walking.
They are waiting g to see if the ss give him another note indicating that he has something on his face, to which he Will pick it off and eat it again.
It’s going to take a lot of meth to get this geezer camera ready.
