Biden says 'no one's being killed' in Afghanistan, can't 'recall' advisers telling him to delay withdrawal
President Biden in an interview with ABC that aired Thursday said "no one's being killed" in Afghanistan despite reports of at least seven deaths amid the chaos at Kabul's airport and of Taliban beating people on their way to the airport, as he defended his handling of the American withdrawal from the country.
Biden further told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that intelligence did not indicate the Afghan government would quickly collapse – despite reports that's exactly what the intelligence said.
And the president said his advisers did not tell him to delay the troop withdrawal, despite reports that's exactly what his advisers did.

A bipartisan group of 55 senators is urging President Joe Biden to quickly evacuate Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants and their families and fully implement changes to the program signed into law in late July.
Our country's leaders are very, very good at urging, they're shite for actually doing, but they can urge the hell out of people.

Not without a lot of time and money to build up infrastructure and the willingness to pay more across the board for electronics, tbh.

no, no Americans are being killed. Nevermind those Afghans, though

Sure we can but are you willing to live with a crippling shortage of every good you are used to on a daily basis for the next 5 to 8 years? This is the equivalent to banning all travel (planes, cars, trains, and shipping) anywhere in the US for 5-8 years to put this fiasco in perspective.

It is mindblowing that nearly everything this Administration says about this clusterfrick is quickly discredited, most often by sources within the same damn Administration! It is almost like we are witnessing a very real split.

Hardline Haqqani Network Put in Charge of Kabul Security
quote:
The Taliban has placed security for the Afghan capital, Kabul, in the hands of senior members of the Haqqani Network, which has close ties with foreign jihadist groups including a long-standing association with al-Qaida.
Western intelligence officials say the assignment is alarming and undercuts Taliban promises to tread a more moderate path than the movement did when it ruled the country from 1996 to 2001.
It also raises the prospect of al-Qaida being welcomed back to Afghanistan, they fear, which would break promises made by Taliban leaders during diplomatic talks in Qatar with U.S. officials last year, not to allow the country to again become a safe haven for foreign jihadists.
