Did you watch the Biden press conference? It was like listening to a man who could barely speak, who wasn’t really interested in what he was saying, except when he was asked some inconvenient questions, then he briefly woke up. That, and showing up for a PC 25 minutes late to discuss an attack that killed, at current count, 13 members of the US military
Biden vows retribution on terrorists who killed 13 US service members in Kabul
President Joe Biden had a clear and directed message for the assailants responsible for the deadly terror attack outside of Hamid Karzai International Airport on Thursday, and for anyone else who might be planning an attack.
“To those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this, we will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay,” he said. (snip)
“We will not be deterred by terrorists. We will not let them stop our mission. We will continue the evacuation. I’ve also ordered my commanders to develop operational plans to strike ISIS-K assets, leadership and facilities,” he said.
Well, I’ll believe it when I see it. Hopefully he does it, sics the armed forces of the U.S. on the perpetrators, but, I have little confidence, not with our Woke military leaders in charge and giving advice. These are the same ones who said we “won’t” go in to protect Americans. Not “can’t”, “won’t”. This is the same administration that basically told Americans in Afghanistan, and all those who helped the U.S and allies, that they were on their own.
“I’ve been engaged all day, in constant contact with the military commanders here in Washington and the Pentagon, as well in Afghanistan and Doha. And my commanders in Washington, in the field, have been on this with great detail, and you’ve had a chance to speak to some so far,” he said to reporters. “The situation on the ground is still evolving, and I’m constantly being updated.”
He said this like a somnambulist. It would have been better to just let everyone read the teleprompter. And, Biden doesn’t actually seem like he’s in charge
…
While it has become normalized for the president to rely on a list of pre-selected reporters, he made a rather stunning admission in the process.
“Ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here. The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O’Donnell from NBC,” Biden kicked off the press conference.
Imagine if Trump said that. Basically admitting that his people are telling him to call on very specific reporters, who are surely asking vetted questions.
DOOCY: "Do you bear any responsibility for the way that things have unfolded in the last two weeks?"

The best part is Doocy responding to Joe questioning him with “Donald Trump is not the president anymore,†which is when Biden put his head down, and Doocy continued with “Do you think that people have an issue with pulling out of Afghanistan or just the way that things have happened?†And Joe decided it was time for some ice cream and left.
(Breitbart) On Aug. 20, Biden had promised: “[A]ny attack on our forces or disruption of our operations at the airport will be met with a swift and forceful response. We’re also keeping a close watch on any potential terrorist threat at or around the airport, including from the ISIS affiliates in Afghanistan who were released from prison when the prisons were emptied.â€
Turx, the White House correspondent for Ami magazine, asked Psaki in a White House briefing following Biden’s speech: “Was this an attack? Were our forces targeted? Was this at the airport? Were our operations disrupted? And if, indeed, it was, would this quality as a ‘swift and forceful’ response?â€
Psaki replied: “I think the president just addressed exactly that, when he said, ‘We will not forgive, we will not forget, and we will hunt you down.’â€
Turx pressed her for answers, whereupon Psaki snapped: “I don’t think he could have been more clear.â€
It’s now over 24 hours since the attack: where’s the swift and forceful response?
Unsurprisingly, TownHall, dis-construed the interaction between Doocy and President Biden.
Yeah, Saigon Joey bears the responsibility but not the blame. Oh no, he lays that on Trump who is no longer in office. Then he mumbles that he talked to all of his advisors (Military,
Intelligence, State) and they all decided it was the right thing to do. Again lays the blame on them.
So ya see Rimjob, dipshit that you are, again you’re trying to mislead as you claim others do.
Bwaha! Lolgfy
You cannot blame the mentally incompetent.
Sleepy Joe is the same guy that voted NO when they were going to take out Bin Laden. To then believe he will HUNT DOWN these guys is laughable since the CIA is now so woke it would be impossible for them to do anything that might go against their woke communist training they received at any number of colleges that are the primary targets for CIA recruitment.
AS to Mr. Elwoods Point.
Correct. Both sides do this bullshit. The president said he bore responsibility, but unfortunately then tried to blame trump who made a deal to get us out by MAY ONE. It is August 31st now. Biden broke the deal and paid the price.
Once again, Biden suffered what Trump suffered. A military. A CIA. A NSA. A NDI. A MIC that all wanted to kill and kill and kill some more. So they mis led even President (D) JOE BIDEN into making a bad decision.
Biden’s admin was warned repeatedly that the Taliban, Al-Q, and ISIS along with IRAN, Russia and China that there would be a price to pay if the USA did not cut and run with their tail between their legs.
One of the saddest episodes in the 20 years in Afghanistan is the fact that this country is rich in copper. There has been one trillion dollars of copper dug out of the ground in the last 5000 years.
***To switch to GREEN there will need to be 1.5 trillion dollars dug out of the ground in the next 10 years.****
AFGHANISTAN is loaded with copper. ALASKA is loaded with copper and a large majority that we know about is in the area of about 1-2 SQUARE MILES…yes that is just a couple square miles of a state that stretches from Florida to California if you were to interpose it on a map of the USA.
That being said. The Afghani’s pretend to be poor when in fact they are quite the wealthy nation and NOW RUSSIA AND CHINA are both at the doorstep of the TALIBAN with hands full of cash and this nation will become what it was before…..a staging ground for terrorism only this time supported primarily by CHINA and RUSSIA and IRAN…….
You think we are gonna bomb Afghanistan in the future when they blow up Chicago?
As we learned in Vietnam, departing from a lost war is never easy, and is always messy. The USA negotiated with the Taliban for a relatively peaceful surrender and it has been until a third party (ISIS-K) wanted to make the Taliban look out of control.
ISIS-K is only a “third party” to cowards who need an excuse. They are all part of the terror network and all joined at the hip. Fuk your excuses. biden fuked his troops, America and our allies and gave aid and comfort to our enemies. Of course since everything is controlled by demofascists he’ll crawl away scot free and rich as shit. Probably write a book about his war experiences just like Killer Cuomo did about his insightful Wuhan/Cuomo decisions.
BTW, what’s this “we learned in Vietnam” shit? Tell us all exactly what you learned in Vietnam, Patton. America wants to know.
Pfukin Poseur.
Good point, we seem to have learned nothing from the humiliating surrender in Vietnam. We still send troops into places we have no business going.
It was tRump who first surrendered to the Taliban.
Do you now support staying in Afghanistan? How convenient.
