The talking points, circulated to Democratic allies, seek to defend the president against criticism he's abandoned Americans still in the country.

President Joe Biden plans to give remarks at the White House later today to explain his decision not to extend the troop withdrawal deadline beyond Aug. 31. | Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesThe White House is arguing that removing troops from Afghanistan will help them bring home the remaining Americans stranded in the country, according to talking points circulated to Democratic allies last night.

“Our commitment to American citizens and those who worked with us doesn’t end on 8/31. We have been very clear on that point,” said one of the talking points the White House doled out to supporters. They go on to advance the notion that the U.S. will continue to hold “substantial leverage” over the Taliban to ensure the extremist group that has taken over Afghanistan will keep its commitments to allow safe passage for American citizens and others.

Gets more delusional by the hour...

This is completely absurd thinking. There's no two ways about it; they stranded Americans and allies in Afghanistan.

I'm starting to see that Biden admin really believe this. I'm losing hope that our government would put Americans above their narratives. Maybe the border isn't secure after all and they just don't know it.

Really!?

These constituents actually graduated from well renowned Ivy League institutions. However it doesn’t take a Harvard Grad to conceptualize logic/reasoning. There’s no feasible argument to fortify this claim, besides claiming the Taliban is reformed. We already know that’s a farce.

“Pulling out all firefighters mid-rescue is the best way to help people still trapped in burning building, Mayor says”

That’s like saying that the best way to help a drowning person is to tie a cinder block around their neck

Did people want to increase the number of troops on the ground from 2500 (TFG) to 20000?

Not sure that’s correct, hopefully it’s true

Yikes.

Oh yeah, that’s the best way, clueless this lot is, 40somewhat years in Washington and this is the best we got....

White House: US has capacity to evacuate remaining AmericansThe United States has the capacity to evacuate the approximately 300 U.S. citizens remaining in Afghanistan who want to leave before President Joe Biden's Tuesday deadline, senior Biden administration officials said Sunday, as another U.S. drone strike against suspected Islamic State militants underscored the grave threat in the war's final days. “This is the most dangerous time in an already extraordinarily dangerous mission these last couple of days,” America’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, said not long before confirmation of that airstrike in Kabul, the capital. The evacuation flow of Americans kept pace even as a new State Department security alert, issued hours before the military action, instructed people to leave the airport area immediately “due to a specific, credible threat.” Then, why are waiting for, any other terrorist event to happen?
