Report says top generals told Biden to leave troops in Afghanistan, Biden says he doesn't remember

President Biden in an interview with ABC that aired Thursday said "no one's being killed" in Afghanistan despite reports of at least seven deaths amid the chaos at Kabul's airport and of Taliban beating people on their way to the airport, as he defended his handling of the American withdrawal from the country.

Biden further told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that none of his advisers told him America should stay in Afghanistan, and that intelligence did not indicate the Afghan government would quickly collapse – despite reports that's exactly what the intelligence said.

And the president said his advisers did not tell him to delay the troop withdrawal, despite reports that's exactly what his advisers did.

Biden's done. Even The Atlantic agrees. Get ready for Kamala.

"Can't recall?"

That's probably the only truth he has spoken since stealing office.

It’s not as if it’s going to get any better just because Joe is gone.

Biden is nothing more than the demented, corrupt frontman of the vile leftist cabal that wishes to destroy the American nation. They wish to transform whatever is left into a cog od a socialist world government controlled by elites.

not really hard to believe Biden doesn’t know about any deaths, and doesn’t remember being told by advisers to leave some troops in place.

Dementia will do that to you.

A good interviewer would easily notice that he didn't answer the question here. It's not about staying or leaving, it's HOW we left.

Am I the only one who suspects that the cynical “I can't recall” shuck and jive game played by guilty politicians is not going to be a winning strategy for Joe Biden

1. No one’s being killed in Afghanistan.
2. C’mon man! That particular group of people were killed four or five days ago.
3. People were already continuously being killed irrespective of policy, and there has been no change, at all, in the day-to-day death rate there.

In a few months, traitor Joe will have forgotten the whole thing, claiming we were never in Afghanistan ...

The current state of affairs should be enough to guarantee democrats never control anything in government ever again.

If the GOP can pull its head out of its rear, I’d be optimistic.

But I dream.

Clueless Joe Stolen, tell us it ain’t so.

But alas, he has already forgotten the question. Nothing, but nothing, can retrieve that memory.

Not even pudding. And here they left the whole supply back at Camp David (or was it in Delaware?)

"Yeah, those bodies in the street were there when I took over from Trump. It's his fault. Come on, man!"
