A defiant President Joe Biden stood by his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and shrugged off a damning State Department report condemning his administration's failure to prepare for the country's rapid collapse.
He was responding to the Supreme Court's decision to block his $400 billion student loan forgiveness plan when a reporter asked for his reaction to the internal review of events leading to chaotic scenes in Kabul in August 2021.
'Remember what I said? I said al-Qaeda 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,' Biden said before walking away.
The investigation found serious pitfalls in leadership and questions about who was in charge before and during the mayhem, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and hundreds of Afghan civilians.
Before the mayhem unfolded, Biden promised a safe withdrawal and said it was 'highly unlikely' the Taliban would take over Afghanistan.
The Biden administration publicly released only half of the 87-page report laying out the disastrous end of 20 years of U.S. involvement on the Friday before the July 4 holiday.
It will likely lead to fury from Republicans and veterans who have long accused the Biden administration of trying to shrug off its actions in the build-up to August 2021.
The conclusion confirmed what critics have long thought, that there was a litany of strategic failures as the Taliban overran cities and there wasn't enough consideration given to 'worst-case scenarios'.
As a result, thousands of allies who helped the U.S. in the war were left behind, and there was chaos at Hamid Karzai International Airport as men, women and children tried desperately to flee.
Even though planning for the evacuation of Kabul began 'some time' beforehand...

Does that an awful lot.
Biden’s response is exactly what I might expect from a sociopath.
Behold your Commander in Chief
“And the Titanic captain was right to ignore the icebergs,” Biden added.
That’s because, as I’m sure he’d tell us, he ain’t got time for the complaints of You Guys the Tax-Chattel and and the opinion of poindexters in the Chump Department.
ping.
Consider this: The smartest person Joe knows is a crack-addled sex addict.
I have never personally talked to anyone that thought Biden was right in the way the Afghanistan withdrawal was handled.
America had better prepare for another 9/11-like scenario...because it’s coming.
I’m sure it will be worse this time around...and our idiot Government will do all if can to exploit the crisis and We The People. :(
Thank A Democrat! *SPIT*
...and I SAY that as an Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm Vet.
I blame Clinton’s INACTION on the FIRST WTC Bombing. Remember THAT one?
Yeah. Nobody does. *SPIT*
Blaming TRUMP and COVID is TOTALLY EVIL!!!
God bless Rick Rescorla.
He is nothing more than a defiant, petulant, diaper sh!tting traitor pedophile.
The man is evil, as are the people around him. I don’t know why we keep posting this crap on FR about him. Look at the side bar. NOthing but BS. When you try to post something intelligent, the mods take it down.
It will be nuclear. Mark my words. I Hope American children refuse to fight this senile greedy bastards wars of the future. I am so disappointed that I fell for W’s bullshit.
The man has no soul.
Xiden the war criminal. Needs to be dealt with severely. Very soon.
“America had better prepare for another 9/11-like scenario...because it’s coming.”
What’s coming next is going to make 9/11 look like a Sunday school picnic.

“I was right?”
This statement from a reprobate that knows not the difference between right and wrong?
Why are we suffering to see the asswipe in chief screw up, by the numbers, everything he touches?
Biden is the prime example of why the “Swamp must be drained!”
The thing that worries me most is that half of my country believe in him, his crimes, family crimes and that the taxpayer should pay for Student loans unpaid by shirkers who voted for the asswipe in chief expecting to be absolved of their sin on not repaying their debt!
Biden has never been right.
Damn him and his progeny.
