White House to media: We want our props on Afghanistan
Politico via msn ^ | 24 August 2021 | Natasha Koreck

In the span of a week, the White House went from struggling to explain a rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan to beating its chest.

Top Biden officials and administration allies have begun aggressively touting the success of their evacuation efforts in the war-torn country, offering frequent updates on the number of evacuees. They’ve framed the operation as historic —in line with the Berlin airlift — declared that they’re “over performing” their own metrics, and trumpeted the president as “defying expectations.”

It’s a startling 180 from the defensive crouch Biden and his team occupied just days ago...

Dems bragging and want to be patted on the back for Afghanistan “triumph” for Biden (!?!)

This is too much. Don’t tell me Satan isn’t working all the time.

One more thing. Local conservative talk host said in less than two weeks the American people, who didn’t really know where Afghanistan was or what its battles meant all along, will now totally forget all about it.

Biden can move on with a fresh, clean slate as the American people’s minds are blank again.

I hope he’s not right.

Our side doesn’t make the most of important victories and keep them going. The Dems ALWAYS do that (Jan.6 worse than Pearl Harbor).

“What do they want, a participation trophy?”

Oh, they -own- the participation trophy.

It eats me alive when I see that senile ass stand up there and speak as though this was some sort of a natural disaster that he is ordering Americans to be rescued from.

They still don’t know where Vietnam is either, but they know what a helicopter flying off the roof of an embassy is.

I posted yesterday this was coming. Biden will declare a successful evacuation when the last airplane departs Afghanistan airspace. The numbers were inflated to make it look impossible to get all the Americans out. We’ve been played. If anyone was not evacuated, we’ll never hear of them again...as of they never existed. Watch this coming Sunday’s media to tout the miracle in Kabul that Biden pulled off.

Biden is a modern day Napolean- but only the 1812 version retreating from Moscow.

Wait till the Tali’s start posting photos of U.S. citizens heads on spikes while demanding they be displayed on the network news on pain of doubling the heads till they comply.

No one has been able to accurately count the total in munitions as well as pallets of cash that the incompetent Biden administration has given to the Taliban. Almost all of those looking however agree that this administration has set the Taliban and other terrorist organizations up with funds and weaponry that will keep them operating for decades.
Go ahead and pat yourselves on the back if you want, the Biden administration has without doubt become the world's leading sponsor of international terrorism.

Afghan-Americans who took advantage of their connections with the Afghan government to get American passports. I doubt that any actual Americans are still there. We have evacuated everyone who was working at the embassy.

Now that the Biden mis-administration came up with their lying talking points, the media will loudly proclaim that the surrender was a glorious victory - America’s finest hour.
