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.

“I not certain President Trump wants this mess.”
He might not want the actual mess, but being a “fixer”, he might want the opportunity to turn things around. (1) It would help all Americans. (2) He would be rubbing certain people’s faces in their felonious election actions.
The rule of thumb applies here.

Al Qaeda was bound to be there.
This is the gang that can’t shoot straight. If there aren’t a half dozen resignations by Monday, Biden needs to start firing people, starting with Austin, Milley, and Blinken.
Heel’s Up just fled the US for Vietnam today.
So, if we’re counting cabinet votes, the Sec-Def is a ‘yes’ on 25th Amendmenting old Joe.
So much for “uniting”! This is ridiculous.
