At a press conference, Biden falsely claimed that Al Qaeda was no longer operating in Afghanistan. “I said al Qaeda would not be there. I said it wouldn’t be there. I said we’d get help from the Taliban. What’s happening now? What’s going on? Read your press. I was right.”
In reality, Al Qaeda is operating training camps in six provinces, including Helmand, which hundreds of Marines had been killed and wounded trying to secure during Obama’s surge. The 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment lost 25 marines, including the son of former Chief of Staff John Kelly, and suffered 34 amputations. 378 Marines were killed and 5,000 were wounded.
Al Qaeda also has safe houses across Afghanistan including in Kabul.
The Taliban have appointed Al Qaeda leaders to key positions including as governors of entire provinces. Nuristan, where 53 American soldiers held off hundreds of Jihadis during the assault on Combat Outpost Keating, resulting in the awarding of two Medals of Honor and nine Silver Stars for the second deadliest battle of the war, is now under Al Qaeda governance.
Biden’s denial of Al Qaeda’s extensive presence came just after a UN Security Council report documented the fact that “Al-Qaeda members have received appointments and advisory roles in the Taliban security and administrative structures” and that the Islamic terror group “is rebuilding operational capability.”
The Taliban, which had denied the report, immediately jumped on Biden’s denial as an endorsement. The Taliban’s Foreign Affairs Ministry claimed that Biden’s denial “refutes the recent report by UN Sanctions Monitoring Team alleging the presence and operation of over twenty armed groups in Afghanistan.”
It’s obvious why the Taliban are lying about harboring Al Qaeda. But why is Biden lying?
Biden’s chosen method of withdrawing from Afghanistan was a massive disaster. The rise of Al Qaeda makes it look even worse. But how much of that disaster was really an error? Since the withdrawal, the Biden administration has found numerous ways to move money to the Jihadists.
The Biden administration made the decision to turn over Kabul to Al Qaeda’s old allies in the Haqqani Network resulting in thousands of Americans being trapped behind enemy lines. It then spent millions paying Osama bin Laden’s old airline to fly Americans out of Afghanistan. Over $1 billion in “humanitarian aid” has been sent to Afghanistan while issuing global licenses authorizing financial transactions with the Taliban and the Al Qaeda allied Haqqani Network.
Biden seized $3.5 billion meant for 9/11 victims and diverted it to a ‘trust fund’ for Afghanistan. Last year, the Biden administration even arranged to have banknotes printed for the Taliban and photos were displayed of pallets of millions in hundred dollar bills flown into Kabul Airport....
Thanks Jihad Joe.
He’s just doing what Hussein Obama tells him.
He already gave the taliban 85 million worth of munitions in Afghanistan.
The creep can’t die soon enough. Sadly, evil on this Earth tends to live a long time, and it’s depressing to have to live through. I take little-to-no satisfaction they’ll be punished on judgment day.

There is much more in the article that will just make you shake your head in disbelief. It is really worth reading the whole article for those who have not gone to the source article.
What floors me is that these folks claim to be devout Catholics and believe a man with his collar turned backwards is going to wave his hands and all their sins will be forgiven and they will fly straight to the right hand of God when they die. Don’t get me wrong. I beieve ther are many devout Catholic who live according to the word of God but the ones like Biden and Pelosi who have endorsed the murder of millions of babies in the US over the years are in for a very nasty surprise when they face God’s Judgement.
sen no name would be proud
And left behind our canine troops.
Talk about evil doers.
In reality, Al Qaeda is operating training camps in six provinces.
Easy to spot they fly the Biden flag.
He’s a senile, corrupt traitor and the uniparty doesn’t care, as long as they remain in power.
Exactly. Biden, Soros, Schwab, just to name a few. They live off the blood of children. Dumb schlubs die for money much lesser crimes but these bastards not only live on but thrive. Good news is that they will be judged soon, bad news is that they will cause more destruction before then.
