Doesn’t take any of the blame. Basically calls the Afghanis cowards. Meanwhile we have people over here who flip their fricking shite saying I’m going to kill them if I don’t wear a mask.

State Dept just stated that if you aren't at Kabul Airport to stay in place at your shelter.


It is obvious they're going to abandon the vulnerable Afghans.

There's no way these people are legitimately this clueless and disconnected from reality.

They can’t hide in these places forever. They’re going to get killed.

We didn’t lose it. We abandoned it and chose to go to the other airport. Read reports that was Biden’s decision but no link. One of many articles I’ve read since last night. Sure it can be googled.


Giving Up = Lose it. I know we didn't lose a battle for it.

On the bright side, State Dept just said they are asking the Taliban to create a representative and inclusive government.

Like the poster said above, they want Harris in.


I disagree. If they put Ms “I’m focusing on Haiti, not Afghanistan” in office any time soon they will lose the next 5 elections.

About as good a chance of working as trying to shame China into not committing human rights offenses.

They don’t think that. She’s a strong independent woman of color that got to where she was on her own two knees

Cotton:

"That speech represented a president and man that is dangerously disconnected from reality."

Also he doesn’t address the elephant in the room on why he didn’t evacuate 10,000 Americans from Afghanistan. He addressed the Afghanis and then blamed it on them for not wanting to leave.

Awesome, thanks. The article refers to a report that intelligence officials said 90 days, too. Sounds like intel reports were all over the place.

Also, given that the ABC source was an anonymous intelligence source, certainly everyone here would be equally willing to take anonymous sources reported by ABC at their word all the time and not just when the source reports something negative for the democrat president, right?

Biden said in his speech there were still "thousands" of American citizens in Afganland right now.
