Biden stands by decision to withdraw troops, says no leaving without ‘chaos ensuing’

[Thaiger]

Following Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan’s capital Kabul with thousands now trying to evacuate the country, US President Joe Biden sat down with an ABC News reporter for a one-on-one interview, standing by the decision to withdraw US troops after occupying the area for two decades. While acknowledging that he was stunned by the swift takeover of the US-backed Afghan government, president said there was no way to leave Afghanistan “without chaos ensuing.” “The idea that somehow there’s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don’t know how that happens.” The president sent back thousands of troops to […]

This guy wears Clown shoes.  Trump was crazy ass nuts and no one knew what he would do so they didn't f*** around with him.  Putin or Xi?  Nobody f***s with them.  Biden?  The World has this Clown figured out.  America is done.  Probably about time...

Such as Biden broke the agreement for May leading to the Taliban easily able to recruit more support and start to attack not trusting the lying Americans?

[riclag]

His botched attempt to pull out was  heinous and the deflection  was even more feeble .

Its not to often many on left agree with the right ,on the optics!
I only wish this happen in October of 2022!

America confirmed they were "done" when  Bush told lies about WMD in Iraq.

I’m guessing because average Americans have short memories and American mainstream media surly will not bring this up prior to the November election?

The blame for this as the inevitable finger pointing begins goes right back to Bush and Blair for totally underestimating what they were getting after expanding the remit of chasing down and bringing to justice those responsible for 9/11 to nation building in a part of the world that is generally hostile to the U S .. The only hope that the type of change they were trying to bring would take root was to stay long term as in decades but the court of public opinion will not tolerate their service personnel being repatriated in coffins for decades so it became inevitable that sooner or later this would happen .. 

3 times in the last 50 odd yrs the U S has got itself bogged down in foreign wars that have been costly reputationably , financially and people lost .. they need to take a serious look at their foreign policies after this one ..

I don’t know about Blair’s position was at the time, but GW Bush got sidetracked with Iraq and had to have a second war without accomplishing the mission in Afghanistan and then getting out.  Bush pulled resources from the military and diplomatically from Afghanistan and made this second to conquering Iraq.  In reality there was no WMD and was just Saddam playing with the infidel western leaders foolishly.  Bush Sr. knew or had smart advisors that knew that nation building would be a tough nut to crack and he decided not to conquer Iraq after freeing Kuwait in Desert Storm.  GWB for some reason didn’t get it.  It is easy to “Monday morning quarterback” as we say in America, but this is my perspective when I was in the military during the first Gulf War and then as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan & Iraq and what we saw over there.  What one reads in the news is distorted and cherry picked to suite political leaning as to what was really happening, so I always take what we see in the news with a grain of salt.  At events that I was actually located at and then news reports later after blackouts were lifted usually seemed distorted or missing information.  This is our world in the 21st Century sadly.

Exactly - it wasn't a question of "if" but "when", and the "when" was whenever troops were pulled out so it was just down to who pulled the short straw and was in the chair at the wrong time.

Come on man who cares if people are dying falling off planes as they desperately try to escape the Taliban under his (Bidens) watch. It was 5 days ago!!

 

 

[Soidog]

One saving grace is that it’s stopped the western media talking about Covid for a few days

[Daithi]

In fairness Trump made a peace Deal with the Taliban,even demanding Pakistan release it's co founder from prison as part of the peace deal. Afghanistan's government were excluded from the peace deal and Trump agreed to a withdrawal by May 21 ,so really what could Biden do?    Not to mention Trump asked congress to pay expenses for the Taliban members who flew to Doha for a peace deal. This despite giving 2 billion to the Taliban drug dealers to insure safe passage of it's convoys.

It doesn't matter what he says MSM and Big Tech will cover for him just like his hair sniffing his quid pro Joe's and Hunters Laptop Tara Reid and Frank's Iraqi under the table deals.

Just imagine the furor and uproar and calls for an impeachment if Trump had said that a few days after George Floyds death ?

The idea to some how tie some of the blame   on President  Trump is concerning !  You would think it was a  peace treaty  that the former administration negotiated with those extremists leaders it was a deal not etched in stone! Deal and treaty is a big difference!

biden has struck down every "deal" that  Mr. Trump made through executive action , biden makes it look like he couldn't  change  or critique the pull out ,this was calculated screw up and than it blew up in their face  by letting  the military out before the civilians ,biden owns this totally .

If this happen to Isreal or the Trump admin the taliban would be looking over their shoulders right now ,in fear !

Yet another obiden apologist. 

OBiden and the entire DC political class got the country into that useless place, and obiden owns it. 

 

Trump is at least smart enough to know Iraq, Afghanistan wars were a complete mistake. 

 

Yet another reason the entire DC political class hates him. 

 

Which is fine by me.

The mainstream media is an arm of the democratic party, sadly. 

They do not even pretend to hide it anymore

Agree with you about obiden. 

 

But the us is not done just yet, unless the rabid leftists pass another vacuous handout spending bill

It was Bidens decision he’s the president!

Here he is talking about HIS DECISION to withdraw from Afghanistan. 
 

 

Here he is again saying how he decided to go against the recommendations of his intelligence community and withdraw

Here’s Barack Obama praising Joe Bidens decision to withdraw, NOT Trumps decision to withdraw Joe Bidens decision. 
 

 

Here is Kamala Harris detailing Joe Bidens decision to withdraw from Afghanistan

Not to mention Joe Biden literally reneged on Trumps deal. So in the end it’s Bidens fault. He’s the president when Kabul fell to the Taliban.

When Trump left Kabul controlled all provincial capitals. Not one fell to the taliban on Trumps last day in office. 
 

Joe Biden it all fell and the Taliban capture Afghanistan on Bidens watch. More like on his vacation.
