Biden commits to getting all Americans out of Afghanistan |
2021-08-19 |
"you're focked" [10 News] President Joe Biden said he is willing to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan until every American who wants to leave the country is evacuated. "Americans should understand that we're gonna try to get it done before Aug. 31st," Biden said in an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. The president previously set an Aug. 31 deadline to end the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan. But when pressed on whether Americans would be left behind, Biden told Stephanopoulos that he would be willing to stay beyond the deadline if more Americans needed to be evacuated. Up to 15,000 Americans were reportedly in Afghanistan following the Taliban's takeover. In the interview, Biden defended the Afghanistan withdrawal despite the chaotic nature of the past week. "The idea that somehow there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens," Biden said. Biden added that no one expected the Taliban to take over Afghanistan in a matter of days. Except ...everybody |

#8 What's this Aug. 31st bullshit? Is there some fuggn tide problem? Aircraft powered by moonlight? Gotta be a Blue Moon? This farce of a team isn't setting the tempo, measure, or even picking the genre for the piper to play, but Aug Thirty-One it is then. |

#7 Make on call to the Pakistani Government and tel them that all US aid, access and military cooperation will end immeditely if the Taliban doesn't find every USCit by name and escort them to the airport. The entire farce is that we have no power, when in fact our money and access to the financial systems we control can't influence this completely. The Taliban are creatures of Pakistan, and we know it and have for decades. WE just have forgotten how to act like America.... |
