Senile Biden will not commit to ensuring the safe departure of every American from Afghanistan. Remarkable.

President Joe Biden in his Friday press conference on Afghanistan again dodged the single most important question, the one most relevant to why the situation there became such a debacle.


The perspicacious question, the final one asked in the pathetically abbreviated press conference, came from National Public Radio’s Scott Detrow.


“Can you just fully explain,” Detrow asked, “why the plan wasn't to go ahead with these evacuations of both Americans and allies before the drawdowns began, before Bagram was closed?”

This is the question at the heart of Biden’s abject dereliction of responsibility and lack of good judgment regarding the exit from south-central Asia. Bagram is the superb military airfield from which American forces withdrew on July 5 in the dead of night, without even informing the Afghan commander on scene. It was a base from which protection and support operations could have been conducted all the way up until Biden’s self-imposed deadline of an Aug. 31 final withdrawal.

It defies all logic to withdraw the protectors before withdrawing the protectees, especially when, as Biden himself admitted, there were at least some intelligence and military reports (numerous press accounts indicate the reports were strong and urgent) indicating the Taliban could consolidate power rather quickly after NATO forces exited. Logic aside, it defies a solemn duty for an American president to ensure, as far as humanly possible, the safety of American citizens.

Biden’s answer was a quintessential “change the subject” dodge. He said he didn’t expect the “total demise of the Afghan national force” so quickly. “Let’s assume the Afghan national force had continued to fight and they were surrounding Kabul. It would be a very different story.”

At that answer, jaws should have dropped all over the world. Is the president of the United States really saying that he didn’t feel it necessary to protect Americans because he thought they would be protected by the armed forces of the nation the U.S. was abandoning? Seriously?

Even if Biden had been right, despite his intelligence warnings otherwise, that the Afghan government and armed forces would not collapse so quickly, how in good conscience could he even take the risk that they would fall? And even if they had held power longer, why rely on them to provide cover for Americans and our allies? Did the Afghan army take an oath to protect American nationals?

Remember, before Biden announced the withdrawal timetable, U.S. forces held control of Kabul and most regional capitals, and could have done so almost indefinitely. The Taliban may have controlled plenty of villages and areas of the countryside, but the timing of our exit and the manner of it were entirely Biden’s to choose. As long as U.S. air superiority and intelligence remained ensconced at Bagram, American civilians could have secured safe expatriation from Afghanistan.

Not only did Biden dodge the central question by going off on the tangent of when the Afghan army would fall, but he also abruptly ended the entire press conference as soon as he semifinished his half-witted answer.

This is not accountability, but cowardice. And it’s utterly unacceptable.

Yeah Chizzy - this is really bad. Turns out senile Biden’s feckless leadership has immense consequences.

Talking to a few people I know higher up in the military, they don't want to look bad and are extremely pissed over a situation where Biden has tied their hands. So that is likely why you saw a US general telling British special forces: Stop rescuing people in Kabul, you're making us look bad

This from a different but related story:

I understand that the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told the commander of the British special forces at the Kabul airport to cease operations beyond the airport perimeter.

Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army's 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations. I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.

the Biden administration's conduct of the Afghanistan withdrawal has raised deep concerns by allies as to the administration's credibility and confidence. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, allied officials reemphasized this concern to me on Friday.

Clarissa Ward of CNN who has been exposing the senile Biden lies and showing the mayhem in Kabul has left Afghanistan getting out while she can

"On our flight and getting ready for takeoff"

To my knowledge, there’s no cure for blindness. The DNC has these lemmings where they want them.

@disclosetv

Yeah - the US won't publicly say who the threat is from because it is more devastating news for senile Biden. But according to French reporters it is ISIS

#BREAKING reports coming in from French intelligence that Isis Khorasan has entered #KabulAiport



Hell of a job Senile Biden !!!

The vast majority of low information voters and gutless cowards who voted for senile Biden and other Democrats have no shame. You just have to look at this board as an example.

They are all in hiding from any Afghanistan thread avoiding it like the plague. And when they do post, they post inane BS to try and change the subject. They can't even face the facts here. Gutless !!!

Sadly that is the state of those who vote for Democrats today

[berryberry]

But Senile Biden says all is well

BREAKING - Multiple casualties near the entrance to Kabul Airport, #Afghanistan.

Taliban militants are firing and there are multiple civilian casualties being attended too.

I wonder if Joe and the feckless cunt will have the dignity to step down once US citizens heads start getting chopped off.

From SkyNews

"This is the worst day by far."

@ramsaysky says the situation at Kabul's airport is "utterly horrendous", and that 'hardened soldiers' told him its the "worst thing they have ever seen in their entire career"

Unfuckingbelievable

*US MULLS ORDERING COMMERCIAL AIRLINES FOR AFGHAN EVACUATION: DJ

French Air Force A400M dispensing flares as it departs #Kabul Airport - typically the reason they would do that is they must have reports of surface to air missles in the area

Great job senile Biden !!!
