In PR Scramble, Joe Biden Doubles Down On Afghan Withdrawal Decision, But Says Little About Taliban Return To Power & Threat To Women

“I’m President of the United States of America, the buck stops with me,” the defiant President said from the White House Monday as events in Afghanistan turned more chaotic by the minute.

Covered live on all the networks and cabler news channels, Biden’s hastily arranged speech today came a day after the Afghan capital of Kabul fell as now former President Ashraf Ghani fled the long war torn South Asian country. Pillared over the last week by the media, the GOP, veterans groups and Pentagon leaks as the long waiting Taliban rapidly advanced to take one region, Biden also faced the backdrop of fears over the fate of women and girls in Afghanistan under the of the Taliban.

“The events we’re seeing now are sadly proof that no amount of military force will ever deliver a stable, untied, secure Afghanistan,” Biden asserted in his speech today taking little responsibility of the Afghans still in the country and the shambolic nature of the U.S. exit. “What’s happening now could have just as easily happened five years ago or 15 years in the future, you have to be honest.”

Combined with the war in Iraq, the Afghan War cost U.S. taxpayer over $2 trillion, with almost the same amount being spent for medical coverage and more for veterans of the conflicts. The real cost of the war cannot be measured in dollar and cents. Around 2,448 members of the American military were killed over the 20 years of the war, with the death of almost 4,000 U.S. contractors too. More than 20,000 U.S. troops were injured over the 20-year war.

Another useless hottake. does not have journalists but TMZ reporters.

And calling this a fiasco...please stick to entertainment news.

Joe Biden,as senator, did not oppose the war in Afghanistan. His statement here is insincere. It is insulting to the American people he leads and the Afghans he helped put in this situation.

This has been a fiasco for decades.

in fact this fiasco has been going on for two decades this is just the last straw

Time to bring American troops home. Two decades is enough

Looks like a PR scramble?
