Oops. First he said he had to honor Trumps plan. Now he is saying he campaigned on bringing the troops out of Afghanistan and he is standing by what he said. WHICH IS IT?

Biden blames everyone but himself.

At least he promised to deal with the ongoing crisis by “speaking out” against misogyny there.

He wasn’t 60 seconds into it before he started blaming it on everyone else.

Screw yourself, Joe. You aren’t fit to be President or to command a military.

And those women and girls in Afghanistan have NO rights, now! They will not even have the little education that some have had in recent years. They are facing a nightmare that your privileged wife and children can’t even imagine.

The reason joe-blow is good with shouldering the blame is because he has no honor so loses nothing. He’s already known to be a fully compromised party dolt and fallguy whose word is dirt. Paid to be the lightning rod.

Well...

It's going to be a lot more difficult to blame President Trump now that Biden doubled-down and declared that he made the decision, it was the right decision, and he would not pass it on to his predecessor.

The only opening for the LAAP-dog media would be that President Trump passed it along to him, but then that would presume that Obama passed it along to Trump.

And then slips out the back door without answering questions. He was so flustered, he came in with a mask, but ran away maskless :) I guess covid attacks only when you enter a room, not when you exit.

Well, he is going to score A LOT of points for this speech.

He pretty much took all the heat for everything on the guise of getting out troops out of a war. He fell back on having learned the “Lessons of Vietnam” and said “the buck stops here.” Said he was willing to take the criticism, but that he really didn’t care.

He wiggled his way out of this one I think... Flame on!

Lets all get real here. When was the last time Joe Biden was able to stand at a podium and articulate from a teleprompter for 25 minutes or more? The stand in is doing a pretty good job of being a pathetic surrender monkey though. ๐Ÿ˜†

He has no idea that absolutely NO ONE believes a single thing heโ€™s saying

I'll bet plenty of people ate it right up. Prepare for the accolades from the MSM to come.

It was far better than I expected from him; someone very bright scribed that one.

They’re trying to frame it as peacenik Biden/democrats and the neocon republicans are the ones complaining.

Never really addressed the execution of of leaving and that’s what the problem is. The how.

dems are trying to go back to Cindy Sheehan days, that’s the marching orders—evil republicans want us still fighting..
