‘No Apologies’: Biden Says There Was ‘No Way’ To Withdraw From Afghanistan Easily

President Joe Biden stated Wednesday that there was no way for the U.S. military to withdraw from Afghanistan easily, an apparent contradiction to what he told Americans to expect ahead of the withdrawal.

Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan remains among the lowest points of his first year in office, leading to the deaths of more than a dozen U.S. service members and abandoning more than 100 U.S. citizens under Taliban control alongside tens of thousands of Afghan allies. Prior to the withdrawal, Biden told Americans the operation would be safe and orderly, but he told reporters during his Wednesday press briefing at the White House that his true belief was that it was never going to be easy.

“There was no way to get out of Afghanistan after 20 years easily — not possible, no matter when you did it,” Biden said. “I make no apologies for what I did. I have great concern for the women and men who were blown up on the line at the airport by a terrorist attack against them, but the military will acknowledge … that, had we stayed and not pulled those troops out, we would be asked to put somewhere between 20,000 and 50,000 more troops back in.”

That's true; but there were better and worse ways to accomplish the difficult withdrawal, and the route you chose was simply the worst way possible.

If you had bothered to follow through on the detailed plans and continencies President Trump had already set up, it would have gone much better.

There's is the competent way with planning to insure the safety of our citizens and military a priority along with actually vetting the Afghans we allowed into America. And then there is the Biden way, half assed incompetence that gets our military killed and wounded and our citizens left behind with moslem terrorists while moslem terrorists and criminals get the seats that should have been reserved for Americans.

Joe Biden never has and never will take responsibility for his F'k ups. May he and his enablers rot in hell!

There is no easy way to withdraw from anywhere you dope! But there sure as hell is a right way and you didn't choose it!

And no way to avoid leaving $80B of military hardware in the process? 

Biden is one stupid son of a bitch.

Kamaji addresses ol' white joe:
"...and the route you chose was simply the worst way possible."
"If you had bothered to follow through..."

C'mon, man!
ol' joe had next-to-nothing to do with this operation.
If that much.
