Pentagon and Defense Sec. contradict Biden MINUTES after his speech by saying Americans HAVE been beaten by the Taliban on the way to Kabul airport and al-Qaeda IS still present in Afghanistan

Minutes after President Biden on Friday said the mission to destroy Al Qaeda in Afghanistan was a success and that he knew of no circumstances where Americans had been unable to reach Kabul airport, he was flatly contradicted by the Pentagon.

Al Qaeda remains present in Afghanistan, said Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby during a briefing, and yes, he was aware of reports of Americans being beaten by the Taliban as they tried to reach safety.

The contradiction will raise further doubt about whether Biden is in control of the White House messaging operation, let alone the chaotic effort to bring Americans home.

Unbelievable, after the things the MSM and the Democrats said about President Trump. I can’t get over that. They got their way, got him out, and replaced him with this.

Now who are we to believe, people who are actually in situ or a doddering geriatric who views the whole thing from his basement between naps?

I thought that would be the case since he said it would “be in their best interest to let Americans pass” in his fake “presser”.

If he gives the taliban 500 million dollars all the notes should be stamped with “AFGHAN” as was notes in Hawaii during WW II. That way the US can later declare such notes as Non-negotiable.

Everybody hates Resident Biden.

Even the Treason Media has turned on him.

...whether Biden is in control of the White House messaging operation,...


The only messaging he’s in control of is “Where’s my pudding?”.

Resident Biden will pay the Taliban for Americans it holds hostage but will obscure the payment and thus the status of Americans as hostages.

Good f’ing grief!

Strike while the iron’s hot. NOW. This WEEK. All Americans should be clamoring for Trump to move back to HIS Oval Office, and do the job of the REAL President.

I have a feeling his rally tomorrow will be watched by more people than in the past.

Obviously someone has made the decision to cut Uncle Joe loose and let him flounder. It had to happen sooner or later. As painful as it is sometimes it’s better to cut off the arm to save the rest of the body. I think the dems know they’re f*cked in ‘22. It’s just a matter of how bad. The real concern is ‘24 but they’ll have 3 years to polish up whoever it is that is the nominee. And it ain’t gonna be the ho.
