I'm glad he blasted the Afghans. They became way too comfortable. Like an EBT cardholder.



Notably, Democrats only make this argument ("America shouldn't spend lives or treasure unless the foreign country they're doing it for is willing to sacrifice much more in the same effort") when they need political cover.

Biden doesn't believe this shite, he's just mad they embarrassed him.

Is he actually saying we can’t do anything about this right now? And let them all be massacred?

We didn't evacuate sooner because we didn't want to trigger a crisis and some Afghani's didn't want to leave. They were hopeful.

Also that the Afghani government basically said, "We got this." And they trusted/believed them.

So he just admitted he is pulling the plug on the Afghan families who worked for us. He is providing Visas to only 2000 Afghanistan residents.

This is going to create an even greater crisis at the airport because its going to create an anarchic situation.

He won't mislead the American people by saying a little more time would make all the difference.

It certainly would have made the difference between a reasonable drawdown and what he ended up going with. But again, he will not be addressing his actual mistakes here today. Likely never will.

the speech writers actually didn't do that bad with this, and i've liked a good bit of what this idiot has said, but it's just laughable coming from him b/c no one believes him, or for our enemies, believes in his threats.

It's not like he didn't have plenty of Intelligence operatives telling him otherwise. He doesn't know they've already admitted as much.

Yes that is exactly what he just said. He just sentenced a lot of Americans in Afghanistan to a death sentence.

He really hasn't said anything that hasn't already been said via back channels. He's yet to address any specific concerns.
