‘Gaslighting’: Joe Biden Defends Decision to Leave Afghanistan, Avoids Explaining Botched Withdrawal

Joel B. Pollak 16 Aug 2021

President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Monday in the wake of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan over the weekend, defending his decision to pull U.S. forces out of the country, but failing to explain the chaotic departure.

“I stand squarely behind my decision,” Biden said, claiming that his administration had “planned for every contingency,” including a sudden collapse of the country, though he noted: “The truth is this did unfold more quickly than we expected.”

The president did not explain why the administration had planned so poorly for the pullout, or for a Taliban takeover — an outcome he had described to reporters in July as “highly unlikely.” He did not admit having made any specific mistakes.

As he did on Saturday, Biden blamed President Donald Trump for negotiating the deal that led to the U.S. exit — failing to note that President Barack Obama began negotiations with the Taliban, and that Biden broke the deal to leave by May 1.

Biden also blamed the former government of Afghanistan, and the country’s military, bemoaning their lack to will to fight and claiming that the collapse of the state proved the wisdom of his decision to withdraw, since it could not last on its own.

Democrats Vietnam, Democrats Afghanistan.  Expect the slaughter and slavery of the Afghan people to be well covered up to save Joe.  Our enemies rule over us, much like they will Afghanistan.  Thanks Biden stooges.
