Please take care of the veterans after the evacuation. There are more veteran suicides than there are wartime casualties. It has caused more casualties than wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Joe, I hate to say it, but you're far from batting a thousand in the truth and facts department right now. You've got to do better!

Biden just blew this one royally, literally every newspaper is just torching this this toxic guy and it’s clear now from the last briefings that he has absolutely no clue as to what’s going on the ground and the same goes for Blinken and Harris. The damage is so bad at this point Biden should turn all control over to top military officials and give them the green light to do whatever it is they have to do to get every American out first and foremost they come first and should have the highest priority and then work your way down. The deadline for leaving should be extended beyond Aug. 31st deadline indefinitely until our people our out, some of these translators and retrieve or destroy whatever hardware we have.

Some of these American,should accept responsibilty for thier decision,they chose to live in dangerous place,the US has no legal obligation to aid them,lots of American has adequate warning of the fall if the government

I agree, but it was worth it to keep the Taliban in check, I wanted to leave as well and I’m glad we left and a lot of people are glad we left, but not like this. Biden and Blinken completely botched this in ways that even Carter couldn’t have done. They own it and the condemnation of this mess is internationally and domestically so bad. Biden is pretty much done at this point, he won’t recover from this and you even see Harris stepping away from this radioactive mess, because she could possibly replace him and if that happens, the country is….let’s just say, every American needs to take care of themselves because things are only going to get uglier.

Oh this one is priceless. I’m actually feeling sorry for poor old Joe Biden, listening and following his advisors.

After a reporter asked Biden a question, Biden looked at his notes and said, “I thought the question was…”

Is Biden being given questions from the media beforehand?!

Biden to Americans still in Afghanistan: 'We will get you home'

This .......... does nothing but lie. Lie. Lie. Lie. He just lies.

He only says that for the cameras.

He doesn't give two ships about our people left behind in afghanistan and this was of his doing.

Have you seen what Ameticans have to do to get out of afghanistan?!?! Our people have to go on a waiting list to wait for who knows how long, then you have to fill out forms and then wait more to get picked up to HOPEFULLY get on a flight.

MEANWHILE if you are an afghahni you can jump on a C-17, fly to America and start your new safe life WITHOUT being vetted.

I am actually nauseous because of this horrible human.

Harris is so over her head she is refusing to appear in public leaving Biden fumbling around in the dark. Whenever something goes south, whether it be the chaos at the US-Mexico border or the chaotic abandonment of Afghanistan, you can bet your house that Harris will not be around to take the blame. She is hanging that privileged old white male out to dry.

Well this is not surprising. The Trump supporters here cheering on the Taliban as they criticize their own President...

After bashing the NEOCONs for years, what was once a chant of "end the endless wars" has become "send back in the troops"....

It just goes to show they have no patriotism or love of country, it's all just blind devotion to the cult of Trump....

How will Biden get Americans home when he can’t even get them to the airport?

On one hand most media outlets regardless of their political stance are exposing this farce of a human, yet on the other hand some of the political left so-called media outlets are still covering for this decrepit entity.

In this set up of a rehearsed interview abiut his bungled afghanistan debacle with political left abc, you can see how confused he is and that the part abc censored.

Good thing we can’t believe anything the newspapers tell us.

I agree, just listen to the words of Panetta, Gates, Keane, Miley even, Tapper and the list goes on and on from top military officials..

This abomination of a so-called administration had over a moth's warning about this. ( I suspect more )

But they intentionally did not act on it and now hundreds to thousands of Americans ( we don't know the actual number since this clown show of an administration doesn't know) are in peril.

You don’t have to be a foreign policy expert to see the cause of the chaos this past week: simply lack of planning.

By next year, midterm, both parties will need to get their list of candidates in order. Get troops and citizens home and move on

For this to occur America would have to re-invade the country.

The top military officials that you constantly tell us are corrupt?

Some yes, that is true, but I think at this point they have expertise and knowledge of how to better deal with this situation at hand, Biden doesn’t, never has and never will. He needs to completely unleash the full military might of our forces and let them utilize every available resource they need to engage the enemy.

This is getting embarrassing for the USA. YOU people elected this guy, he was said to have a rep as a foreign policy specialist. That, I think, has been demonstrably proven false.

Biden has been a politican since BEFORE the fall of Saigon to the Viet Kong. He was against the killing of Bin Laden. When asked in 2010 if the United States had any moral obligation to help those Americans left in the country and Afghans who were on the Americans' side, he said ; "F--- that, we don’t have to worry about that." With regards to women under Taliban control, he said: “I am not sending my boy back there to risk his life on behalf of women’s rights, it just won’t work, that’s not what they’re there for.”

...so it is not surprising that he has made a hash of things in 2021.

And you have to feel for these vulnerable allies too. Israel, Taiwan and Japan. They must be freaking out after witnessing the complete and total ineptitude by the people in the White House.

Some. Only some Americans voted for this person. Some polls right after the election found out that approximately 30-35 million people actually voted for this piece of work while the so-called remaining votes were anti votes. So in other words, a whole lot of people REALLY don't like this guy.

All of this is the result of pure media manipulation and propaganda because if they really cared about the nation they would show the real true colors of this horrible person. He really is a very terrible human, and that is putting it mildly as we can very cleatly see by his inactions and callous attitude after this debacle of his doing.

Biden’s approval ratings have taken a hit. According to the Real Clear Politics average of the polls, he’s at about 48%.

That’s sinking down to Trumpian levels.

Blame the opposition. If that is true, the opposition must have absolutely stunk. One of the truisms of elections is that many vote for the least objectionable candidate. This shouldn’t be news to you.

Very few people see Biden as a dream candidate. The reason he won was that the alternative was unconscionable.

Start being honest with yourself. Asking yourself ‘Why did this guy win?’ would be a good start. Conspiracy theories or whining about the media would be childish.

No you are wrong!

Donald Trump’s own top advisers are blaming Trump

No one is blaming Trump for anything, he listened, he gave in and stopped with his plans, Biden became President, didn’t listen and proceeded with zero planning and here we are.

The surrender of the Afghan forces gave the military hardware to the Taliban. But they shot many pilots

Biden could’ve stopped it and he didn’t, he owns all of this and the Pentagon and everyone around him can’t run aways fast enough to distance themselves from this growing disaster.

Zichi, you can try to defend the indefensible, but every paper and everyone are pointing their fingers at the man in the Oval Office and this is not the first time Biden screwed, he’s been screwing up since 1975. Get over Trump, doing that weakens the argument. You want Trump to take ownership of Jan 6. as former President then hold Biden to the same standard as current President. He just killed his Presidency.

-1 ( +2 / -3 )

You don't hold Trump responsible for Jan 6 and have posted the opposite.

Well, he was President so it doesn’t matter I personally believe, he was responsible whether his intentions were noble or not.

Biden is responsible for this end game.

Yes

Then that settles it. Nothing more to say, both Presidents were responsible for these tragic events and the both own it, that’s it.
