Biden said in July Taliban 'overrunning everything' was 'highly unlikely'

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wap...ighly-unlikely

President Biden last month dismissed the possibility that the Taliban would swarm through Afghanistan, which just weeks later they are in the process of doing.

"So the question now is, where do they go from here?" Biden said during a July 8 press conference. "The jury is still out. But the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.

Thursday, Afghanistan’s third-largest city, Herat, located on the border with Iran, fell to the Taliban. The Taliban also claimed to have seized Kandahar City, the country’s second-largest and the Taliban’s spiritual home.

With no U.S. military forces on the ground and very few assets in the skies, the Pentagon cannot confirm Kandahar has fallen, but officials acknowledge, "It doesn’t look good."

The Washington Post’s resident fact-checker dinged Biden on Thursday for claiming the Taliban takeover was "highly unlikely."

"This didn't age well," Glenn Kessler tweeted Thursday along with a quote from Biden in July downplaying the idea that the Taliban would regain control of the war-torn country.

U.S officials Thursday confirmed the military is in the process of evacuating personnel from the U.S. embassy in Kabul as reports circulate that the Taliban is rapidly expanding its control of the country and possibly entering Kabul.

U.S. military officers at the Pentagon tell Fox News the images of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan are "demoralizing."

"This is all melting down in a short period of time," one U.S. military officer said.

For everything Xiden says or is told to say, the opposite always happens and it's never good.

Given that Joe Biden has been wrong on almost everything his whole political career why is anyone surprised at this? He cannot find his ass using both hands while sitting on the toilet.

That is why he has his butt wiped.

This was going to happen eventually. My main issue is, as the Afghan soldiers were abandoning their US taxpayer paid for vehicles and other gear, why did they not even attempt to destroy or disable it? Surely they have sugar in Afghanistan? Put a 5 lb sack in each fuel tank and leave the equipment running until the engines grenade. Pile up the equipment and blow it up with hand grenades or something? Toss a Molotov on the pile and burn it?


I suspect we're not seeing that because most of the Afghan soldiers were just there drawing a paycheck and don't really give a shit about politics, or freedom, or anything else that we would think of as important. There were probably deals struck, "leave us the equipment and vehicles intact, and we promise not to rape your goats," something like that.

Afghanistan is another Vietnam. The dam politicians ran the Vietnam war and would not allow the military to win it. Same has happened in Afghanistan.

Let me put my prediction hat on.

On September 11, 2021, on the 20th anniversary of the most devastating act of terrorism on American soil since Pearl Harbor, the Taliban will be celebrating their complete victory in Afghanistan, and they'll be doing it from Kabul, in front of, or inside of, the US embassy there.

They may, or may not parade US hostages for the cameras......jury's still out on that one, but based on the cluster**** so far, it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see US hostages and Saigon helo evac style video coming from Kabul.

This was going to happen as soon as we left, but the videos of the Taliban with all of our intact vehicles, equipment, and even our tech laden drones, reminds me of Obama drawing down in Iraq. FFS, get all that shit out of the country or destroy it all, THEN go.

I want to know why we paid to teach Malala to learn to read, and to learn to speak English, and she's not back in Afghanistan helping out. What happened to muh girl power?

No match against nutcases like the Taliban, no one in their right mind would go back to that shithole.

And, of course, he’s blaming Trump. SMFH

U.S. military officers at the Pentagon tell Fox News the images of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan are "demoralizing."

Now they may understand how the troops feel about mandatory tranny training, about mandatory anti-white propaganda, etc.



Newsflash, Pentagon officers: the troops are ALREADY demoralized.
