Almost exactly 24 hours after the last cargo plane carrying Americans lumbered down the Kabul airport runway, President Biden started walking. He exited the Oval Office, passed through the Cross Hall of the White House, and entered the State Dining Room. He arrived with a full head of steam, and he was there to say that the war in Afghanistan, the longest war in American history, was over.
In remarks that lasted roughly half an hour, Biden took “full responsibility for the decision” to end the war while, at the same time, pushing responsibility onto others for how it ended.He blamed former President Trump for signing an agreement with the Taliban

For those of you wondering why this superannuated, cheat, faux president keeps looking at his watch:
High-intensity cognitive medication that has a time line turning this bi-pedal shuffling disaster (Cinderella formatted) from an idiotic, bloviating, hostile, lying POS, back into a diaper-dumping, drooling, piece of green algae (apologies to green algae).
How long until the stress finally does him in?
Not soon enough, but looking forward to it.

Biden accepts full responsibility, unless it is something bad, then someone else is responsible. Greatest best airlift ever in the history of the world, Biden did it. Chaos surrounding the airlift and qualified people not being allowed into the airport or removed from the airport because of spineless leadership, someone else did that. Plans to end the endless war, Joe Biden did that, unless you criticize the rush ending, then it is all Trumps fault because he had a plan an Biden was "forced" by inheriting it. Taliban taking over the country? That wouldn't happen under Biden's plan but it did because of Trumps Plan and the weak Afghan Army. American citizens and Afghan allies stranded in Afghanistan after the final pull out? Biden personally saved over 100,000 people by his greatest ever airlift. So what if most were unqualified Afghans. Those citizens who were stuck or Afghan allies trapped, well they should have left earlier. They knew the dangers. It's their own fault and Trump put them in this position. It is never Biden's fault. His son Beau died you know. Pat Biden on the back for his "job well done". Maybe he will wake up from his dream world of you hit him hard enough!

Wait didn't he just say it was “extraordinary success?”

As I recall, the Democrat solution to Vietnam was to “declare a victory and get out”, and that’s what happened.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Old saying..."the enemy gets a vote".
They started it, they'll decide when it's over.
So far it's been going on for 1400 years, and Joe's surrender ends nothing.

Joe, the war is not over, it is just changing locations.

And they said President Trump was given to hyperbole. At least Trump’s results backed up him up! Biden is an abject failure. A malevolent media is the only thing that keeps Biden going. An honest press would have excoriated him long ago and he would have never even gotten the nomination.

President Trump told quid pro joe to pull out and quid pro joe did it, therefore it is Trumps fault, even though quid pro joe has not done what Trump said on any other subject.

According to the article, "Biden took full responsibility for the decision to end the war, while at the same time, pushing responsibility onto others for how it ended."
Marxist double-speak. That's how lying liberals do it.

This is Biden's version of "Mission Accomplished" stunt.

Head's up to all the Eagles Up people. Plan to NOT turn on your television on 9/11. You know it will only be libs spouting off about our recent ''success.'' I will probably camp out on Lucianne.com and catch a few Daily Wire podcasts.

Biden “yelled” at the American people and the world, throughout as he read a speech obviously created by unknown others off a teleprompter and then just walked away. If Trump had put on such an unpresidential performance, Pelosi and the leftist and socialist Democrats would have already filed articles of impeachment against him, but with Biden they will just move on trying to pass their five trillion dollar socialist based spending and tax raising schemes with the RINOS merrily going along.

#7 nailed it and that new location is going to be right here. Why else bring in over 100,000 unvetted largely young male Afghans? I’m guessing that the first terrorist attack on our soil will occur on September 11.

If Sloe Joe knows that ninety percent of Americans have been brought back then he knows the total that were there, right?

Biden you cheater, you made this debacle all by yourself useless self. You own it and for forever. History will record you as the imbecile who won the November 2020 election by fraud, created the humanitarian crisis on the southern border, and surrendered in Afghanistan in the most unhonorable way possible. What a lousy liberal you are.
