Doing what the media won’t: Fact-checking Biden’s address on Afghanistan
I’m relying on the White House release of Presidentish Joe Biden’s remarks.
Shall we get right to it?
CLAIM: “My national security team and I have been closely monitoring the situation on the ground in Afghanistan and moving quickly to execute the plans we had put in place to respond to every constituency, including — and contingency — including the rapid collapse we’re seeing now.”
REALITY: Biden Scrapped Trump’s Afghanistan Rescue Plan. “Raheem Kassam revealed on Wednesday that under President Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo’s State Department had ordered the creation of a ‘Contingency and Crisis Response’ office whose job would be avoiding ‘a future Benghazi-style situation for Americans overseas.’ But while Biden lied to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday that ‘We planned for every contingency,’ behind the scenes, Biden’s State Department had already ‘revoked the funding and the approval’ for Trump’s response team, according to Kassam.”
I’d also add that had Biden planned for every contingency, things would look several hells of a lot different in Kabul right now.

Im convinced the pentagon told Biden Kabul was falling and asked for more troops…… and Biden instead ordered all of the military out period.

He spills
The press mops up
(reference Pravda 1980s)
Hope is not enough.
If you were prepared for the rapid collapse, then why are you so unprepared to deal with it?!
Biden and his woke WH idiots would not let the military do anything except get out. And now it has backfired on the morons
What to do and how to get rid of them?!

I wish we could but it looks like we’re stuck with these two incompetents. Regardless of how bad things get.
Oh we’ll be hearing some whining and noise from the usual GOP blowhards but its of no consequence.
Our system was never intended to have to deal with an unlikely pair like this. And the third in line is no better than either of them. We’re in for some very tough times ahead.

I’m convinced Biden wanted a big political splash by having the pullout complete before 9/11 so he could have a political victory. That date drove everything.
That says a lot….
In another instance, he says they are telling Americans to work their way to the airport!!! Is he insane!??? Does he not see the stupidity in this???? Damn him to hell!!
I think we may have 20k troops there by end of september
This isn’t a very flattering commentary about our country but we can use some straight talk right about now. We’ll never get out of this mess unless we accept reality.

They should make a videogame—”Get to the airport,” having to get past Taliban check points, guards, and treacherous Afghans who sell them out and kill them. You will have only so much bribe money and when its gone—your shot.
On a related note, Jake Tapper with CNN just led off with Jeopardy! mod resigning.
Biden is not lying. To lie one has to know that what one says is not true. Biden no longer has any such knowledge. Others are using Biden’s mouth to lie but Biden is not aware of the truth or falsehood of the words he passes on.
