President Joe Biden tried on Friday to reassure Americans remaining in Afghanistan that he would get them home to the United States but also admitted he could not guarantee the mission would be a success.
“Let me be clear, any American who wants to come home, we will get you home,” he said during a speech at the White House.
But he also warned of the risks and the danger involved with the evacuation process.
“I cannot promise what the final outcome will be, or that it will be without risk of loss, but as commander-in-chief, I can assure you that I will use every resource necessary,” he said.

Biden also walked back his assertion that he would allow American troops to remain in Afghanistan beyond the August 31 deadline to ensure all Americans were evacuated.
“We’re going to make that judgment as we go,” he said, signaling optimism the U.S. forces could successfully get Americans out before the deadline.
He denied that Americans were having problems getting to the airport, noting that the Taliban had agreed to give them safe passage.
“We’ve made an agreement with the Taliban so far. … We know of no circumstance where American citizens are carrying American passports, trying to get through to the airport

“...would get them home to the United States...”
Some unpacking here, is he including Body Bags in this statement?
They just leaked the secret plan—they will pay Taliban fighters to carry rainbow flags around Kabul and the rest of the country.
Americans will then be able to get a ride to the Kabul airport with new enlightened Taliban buddies....
In other words, I have no idea what I’m talking about.
Hey, at least he didn’t say anything mean....
This is the guy who called Trump a clown.
Resign you braindead son of a bitch!
Impeach him. Convict him. Execute him.
The lights have dimmed and no one is home. Sad that our representatives in congress are allowing this farce to continue.
I wonder if Slow Joe, before going brain dead, would want or allow this farce to happen in his name as he destroys a nation founded on principles opposite of what he and his administration are doing since he was sworn in.
“We’ve made an agreement with the Taliban”
I thought that was bad. Hard to keep track. It’s all falling apar, and it’s Biden’s fault.
Good Lord. Please tell me this is a skit from Saturday Night Live when it was actually funny. Tell me this is not happening to my country.
Coming home in a box ain’t going to be acceptable.
You might be dead but we will get you home.
Most will get home, some, maybe many, in boxes
“Gaslight”
Can we stop saying “gaslight”? Just call it what it really is.
“The lights have dimmed ...”
Correction: The Lights burned out long ago!
Joe promises every American in Afghanistan will get home. Dead or Alive?
“Some unpacking here, is he including Body Bags in this statement?”
Bingo — Biden didn’t say anything about them coming home ALIVE.
“We’ve made an agreement with the Taliban”
Never negotiate with terrorists. Another cardinal rule broken.
