Biden to mumble incoherently then walk off would be more precise.

Joe Biden will stick with 31 August withdrawal deadline - Reuters

The US president has agreed with a Pentagon recommendation to stick with his planned withdrawal deadline, despite pressure from NATO allies, an administration official has told Reuters news agency.

However, Mr Biden has asked for contingency plans to be made to stay longer should it be necessary.

US officials will also tell the Taliban that being able to remove troops by next Tuesday will depend on whether the insurgents continue to cooperate.

The Pentagon had recommended the US stick to the initial date because of security risks to American forces at the airport.

UK government officials have previously said British troops will likely need to withdraw at the same time as the US.

The Pentagon already came out and said that about 45 mins ago.

Biden/Harris are INCOMPETENT IDIOTS.

10K to 40K Americans left behind, 7K Taliban prisoners set free, $85 Billion in equipment left behind, Bagram and all COPS & JCOPS abandoned. Biden/Harris and all those leftist Democrats who voted for them OWN THIS DEBACLE. THEY SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON AND PUBLICALLY HANGED!

There was an OPORD and it wasn’t followed. I was in NW Afghanistan for a year as a US Army Combat Infantryman.
1) Get all American civilians out first.
2) Get out all Taliban prisoners (CONAIR).
3) Get out all aircraft, vehicles, and equipment.
4) Get out the Terps who helped us.
5) Get all US Military out.
6) Drop JDAM’s and MOAB’s on ALL our air bases, COPS, and JCOPS (preferably just when the Taliban have moved in).
7) Close down Bagram and all other air bases.
8) Fly away and don’t come back

Have we ever had a operation code named “Debacle” based on the known expected outcome we are seeing?

“Debacle you are a go to begin abandon ops.” “Repeat, you are a go Debacle to surrender to Terrorists.”

Strikes me as not having the same ring to it as “Shock and Awe”.

Leave the civilians to fend for themselves.
It serves them right for being civilians.

Leave lots of weapons for your enemies when you leave.
They will thank you posthumously.

He’s still trying to force Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King out of the history books as a great speaker and historic leader.

Great post.

That’s how it will be (glad I won’t watch it myself).

My concern is the brief news summaries and now his prepared talk today will state “————(number) of people have been successfully evacuated under our plan as of this morning.”

The TV news viewers: “Gosh, that number sounds like a whole lotta people. All those people are out safe. This Biden knows what he’s doing.” “Yeah, I think so, too. A lot of people have left.”

Biden threatened to have Angela Merkel jump out of a cake butt nekkid in the middle of Kabul. Terrified, the Taliban evacuated the city.
