Did not say one frigging word about Afghanistan..the Americans...how they are going to get them out

ignores questions from the reporters ...nothing, nada, zippo...read the last word someone typed for him...turned and walked off

Does he think if it just ignores it...it will go away?

"The Biden administration still can not put a number on the Americans stuck in the country."

"Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said he was unwilling to go into detail, even as the administration promises they are getting more Americans out of the country.

When asked by reporters if he was being intentionally vague, Kirby replied, “I’m just going to leave it at several thousand.""


...well Kirby, you better be figuring it out....you have only 1 week

Think of these little speeches and announcements as in-person tweets. Maybe that will put you at ease.

I've heard that the number could be as high as 250,000 (including Americans and Afghan allies) who want to escape the clutches of the Islamic terrorists. They are evacuating at the rate of 5,000 per day, so that means 50 days to get everyone out. Close to two months - or late October.

The thought that the military, even under Biden, would just pick up and leave innocent Americans to be tortured and/or killed by terrorists is unthinkable. I would say that if Biden orders the military out, with Americans to fend for themselves, he is in violation of his oath and should be 25th.

They do not know how many Americans are in Afghanistan. Because Americans living abroad are free to NOT check in with the local embassy.

They can only fly out those Americans who come to the airport or who contact the temporary embassy that is currently operating from the airport.

Why should it surprise anyone that he will give his little song and dance speech then run? He needs to go.

Why are so many Americans living there in the first place? What was the attraction to go there?

The Taliban leadership has taken more questions from the American media than Biden has on the withdrawal.

His handlers saw how bad it looked when he hid last weekend, so now they're taking the opposite approach: trot him out every day to read from a teleprompter, and then race him back into silence before he has to answer an unscripted question.

Biden is on it. Don't you feel a warm cuddly feeling knowing how safe you and all those people in Afghanistan are? Good Job Biden!!!

I feel I can sleep at night and not worry about another terrorist attack. We have safe borders and have control of all terrorists. All terrorists are afraid of Biden. He's strong and confident and can put the horror to any terrorist. He takes care of us. So nice to have him protect us.

I just want to send out a special thank you to all of you that cheated or actually voted to get him into office.
