A defiant President Joe Biden spoke to the world to address the calamity taking place in Afghanistan, a nightmare scenario he said on July 8 was “highly unlikely” to occur.
“I had a decision to make,” said Biden, claiming the time was right to leave Afghanistan. The president was adamant, stating that the United States’ goal is “counter-terrorism, not counter insurgency or nation-building.” He added: “We planned for every contingency, including collapse.”
Biden said that he had to make a choice to make as president: “The choice I had to make as your president was stick with Trump’s plan to withdraw or fight.” He noted that Osama Bin Laden is dead and there are other terror threats today, including al-Shabaab and ISIS. The mission in Afghanistan was to make sure al-Qaeda could no longer use Afghanistan as a base to attack the U.S.
He made it clear that he stands squarely behinds his decision to leave Afghanistan, rather than send more troops to fight, although he admitted that the situation “unfolded more quickly than anticipated.” He blamed Afghan leaders who left the country and “gave up” when the military “collapsed.”
Biden went on to say that the U.S. had trained and equipped a force of 300,000, giving them state-of-the-art equipment and a larger army than many NATO countries. “We gave them every tool they could need. We paid their salaries,” he said.

“We also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.”
“The buck stops with me”.............
Plagirized from Harry Truman.
Somebody supported this stupid son of a bitch Biden.
Seems to me that nothing was planned for. Nothing.
*************
Why should this be any different than the rest of the debacles the country is facing? Incompetence on parade.
The silver lining is that its getting harder for Americans to ignore the unfolding failures.
Saboteur-In-Chief Joseph Stolen GETS OFF ON IT.
We did??? That's interesting. How much were we paying them? And are we still paying them?
Look at that! What a mess! Someone should do something about it.
— Joe Biden
Joe Biden: SERIAL KILLER!
The only thing that has been planned out is the media circling the wagons for Biden catastrophic crisis in Afghanistan. The talking points were delivered in that speech cheating Joe gave faulting Trump. Talking points narrative that’s all you will hear from here on it’s orange man bad fault.
Biden said that he had a decision to make, so he decided to abandon Afghan women, children and American citizens to slaughter by Islamic terrorists. Hey, Trump left him no choice. At least that’s what he said.
Bidon screwed up
The plan was to fix conditions while the fighters were resting in pockistan
May 1. The Afghans would be ready and have their checkpoints up.
When the fighters went to Afghanistan for summer fighting season, May 1, the Afghans could have been ready.
Bidon broke the deal and changed the exit date.
Then Bidon closed Bagram before the exit. He left the country without air cover
TREASON
Defiant? John Paul Jones was defiant.
JOe Biden was as defiant as an escapee from the
rest home, yelling at clouds.
They told Joe to read this and he’ll get extra ice-cream
He thought he could just pay them off.

I was hoping one Republican out of 300 would call him an Incompetent Boob, because it’s damn obvious.
