Biden Junta Releases Report on His Bloody Afghanistan Bungling The Day Before Most of DC Goes On Vacation;
NSC Spokesliar Claims It's Not About "Accountability," But Also, It's All Trump's Fault

Before getting to this, it's worth pointing out that this "after-action report" just coincidentally repeats the spin that Biden established in August 2021, after his disastrous withdrawal.

On that day, before any "after-action report" was even begun, he declared it was all Trump's fault.

And, by wildest of coincidences, it turns out that's what this corrupt Pentagon has concluded after almost two years of research: The demented mental-patient and r@pist had it right when he made up an excuse just minutes after 13 American soldiers were detonated due to his incompetence.

In a speech on Monday, President Joe Biden blamed his predecessor, Donald Trump, and the Afghan people, for his administration’s botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan and the rapid takeover of the country’s capital by Taliban forces.

Wow, what a genius! Biden had all the answers in his Brilliant Brain that it took Pentagon researchers 18 months to figure out!

Never forget that Biden ran his Basement Zoom Campaign on the promise that, unlike that Wicked Trump, he would always take responsibility for his failures, and never seek to blame others:

This wasn't just a one-off-- this was a central promise of his Fake Zoom Campaign.

The following month, in a rare interview with 60 Minutes, a neutral and adversarial press outlet (LOL), Biden lied for the third time:

"I know what the job takes. I sat for hundreds of hours in the situation room. For eight years, I was vice president in every major decision. I know how difficult the job is.
"And one more thing I'll do: I'll take responsibility. I'll acknowledge my mistakes when I make them, and I'll level with the American people."

After the Very Fortified Election, Biden repeated the promise again:

"As I said to you on other interviews, I will take responsibility. When I fail, I will acknowledge it, and I will not deny that I made a mistake."

I think it's fair to say that that promise, like Adam Kinzinger's anal virginity, is no longer operative.

The Administration lie-splains that there's no accountability for Biden's decisions in the report, because it's not about "accountability," it's an "after-action report" which is just about getting the facts right.

But weirdly, it repeatedly blames Trump.

I guess this "after-action report" can assign blame.

So why is the man who actually oversaw the murderous chaos of the withdrawal never blamed once?

The White House on Thursday released its review of President Biden's fumbled withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, dropping the long-awaited report days before the Easter holiday while former President Donald Trump's indictment dominates headlines.
In a 12-page outline, Biden officials defend the president's decision to withdraw, calling his decision to end the two decades-long war "the right thing for the country." The report does not appear to acknowledge any mistakes made by Biden. However, the document repeatedly criticizes the Trump administration for constraining the conditions of American evacuation, during which 13 American soldiers died in a suicide bombing while protecting the Kabul airport.
The review does acknowledge that the evacuation of Americans and allies from Afghanistan should have started sooner, but blames the delays on the Afghan government and military, and on U.S. military and intelligence community assessments.
"President Biden's choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan were severely constrained by conditions created by his predecessor," the document states.

For one CBS reporter -- incredibly-- this was all too much.

CBS White House correspondent Ed O'Keefe put the screws to retired Admiral John Kirby during a Thursday briefing, pressing him on the administration's decision to release a long-awaited assessment of the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal just before a holiday weekend.
Kirby, who is currently serving as the strategic communications coordinator for the National Security Council, claimed that the timing of the report was coincidental and that the multiple agencies that had worked to compile the report had just happened to get it together at this specific time.
Noting that the information had been requested months earlier, O'Keefe pointed out that reporters had only received it 10 minutes before the briefing that preceded the Easter holiday. "Why today? Is this all we get? Is this a response to the studies that were done by the agencies or is this considered a summary?" he asked, calling the move "the very definition of a modern major holiday news dump."
...
O'Keefe continued to press, however, noting that according to the administration's assessment, President Biden had "received and accepted the unanimous advice of his top national security officials to end the evacuation on August 31."
"What is the definition of a top national security official, because we know for example General McKenzie, who was then head of CentCom, said he objected to aspects of this," O'Keefe asked.

CBS's @EdOKeefe: "There's 4 pgs of blame on the [Trump] administration...Nowhere...does there appear to be any expression of accountability or mistake by either [Biden] or others. Is there any"?

Let's take this at face value and assume that Biden had zero flexibility in terms of when to accomplish the withdrawal. This is not the case, but grant the point for the sake of argument.

Does this report mention anything at all about how the Pentagon flatly ignored Trump's orders for more than a year because they were expecting Biden to come in and cancel the withdrawal? Do they mention that the Pentagon had to throw together a shitty plan at the 11th hour and had very poor operational control while doing so due to factional infighting, and that resulted in an even worse outcome than just the delay itself would have caused?

Any of that?

Insofar as he is the president, I probably agree.

My problem with such assessments is that it is abundantly clear that he is not in charge of much. Similar to Obama, just moreso. There is no president. There is a central committee comprised of warring factions, but there is no actual chief executive. He's not a president. There is no president.

92 The fact that there's no firing gives the game away. Whenever I think about the Afghanistan debacle, I think of all those DOD guys that regularly showed up in Congressional hearings and whatnot telling everyone that things were going great and we totally had it in the bag, right up until we leave and the jihadis retake everything in a matter of hours. They were obviously lying, and I'll go farther and say that they were obviously lying to not only Biden's people but also the three previous administrations too. And then there's Dubya Bush babbling about how it was never really the geopolitics after all, it was all for the poor widdle Afghani girls. Everything about Afghanistan was a huge lie, and we learned it all in a single week in 2021.

A competent regime with any interest in having an effective fighting force and/or public accountability would be on the warpath, demanding to know who lied and when did they lie it, followed by a mass purge of the idiots that let it happen. But that's not what we have, because Muh Norms.

Transgender student bill sparks outcry on both sides at Chino Valley school board meeting https://t.co/JPG9HqxGGX

The board voted 4-1 to approve a resolution supporting Assembly Bill 1314, which would require school officials to tell parents within three days of learning that a child is identifying as a gender that doesn’t align with their birth certificate.

The bill has yet to pass a committee and still needs approval from the Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature to become law, but that didn’t stop parents from criticizing the school board for even broaching the topic. “The school system is broken,” said parent Alexis Charles. “There are so many areas you need to address, yet this is where you chose to put your focus?”

Opponents of the bill say that schools can be a safe space for transgender and non-binary children who may not feel comfortable discussing the issue with their parents.

We do know from multiple reports from people like Pompeo, Kash Patel and even Trump himself that their plan was based on keeping Bagram under any and all circumstances, moving people from them under military protection, removing all equipment and then and only then taking out the military but keeping a presence large enough to retain control of Barram because it was not only key to a safe withdrawal it had significant strategic importance for keeping an eye on China.

This. Ab-so-F***-ing-loutely this. These assholes were doing the withdrawal as a PR stunt by timing it for a 9-11 anniversary. Someone with more grey matter in their head than brown matter in their pants probably pointed that out. Why they were hell-bent on the second-selected pull-out date, rather than ensuring an orderly withdrawal of all equipment, meant something was going on. Probably a malicious something, if not outright criminal.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there was quid-pro-quo for leaving materials in Afghanistan; letting them open up the new Sunni Surplus with a % going to the Big Guys (plural).

Cops had suspects but were DENIED the ability to name them or post their pictures, one shooter was arrested the next day during an "Affray" at the local highschool, the guns they used were stolen as part of the gangs burglary enterprises. The dead were involved in the burglaries as well.

Someone with more grey matter in their head than brown matter in their pants probably pointed that out. Why they were hell-bent on the second-selected pull-out date, rather than ensuring an orderly withdrawal of all equipment, meant something was going on. Probably a malicious something, if not outright criminal.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there was quid-pro-quo for leaving materials in Afghanistan; letting them open up the new Sunni Surplus with a % going to the Big Guys (plural).

227 181 That Trump promised to end the Afhhani war but no ever did.

Yes, he did. And he tried. He ordered the Pentagon to work out a plan in December 2019. The Pentagon dragged its feet, delayed, and refused to cooperate. In 2020, Trump called the military to the carpet and directly ordered the to implement a plan he'd had developed to withdraw from Afghanistan, and they dragged their feet, and basically refused: they directly and deliberately disobeyed a direct order from their commander in chief.

Then, when Biden took office, they rushed to get a plan together, one that DID NOT FOLLOW the one Trump directed them to use.

Oddly, I don't remember Biden being on the ticket in the midterms but I do remember the left losing the House.

People put way too much emphasis on the presidency in the midterms. It is hundreds of different mostly local races not a single national race. Whatever focus there was on national issues was on issues like abortion and not Biden's job performance. And the RNC absolutely sucks and it sure doesn't help having people like Mitch willingly lose races in the Senate rather than supporting icky America First candidates.

Biden is polling in the low 30s and going lower. He only has the support of about 30% of his own party for reelection. The idea that he is some electoral powerhouse is idiotic. The only thing the left has right now is cheating.

It's like saying because a team scored more points in the next game than the previous game, it means they really won. And any other result is fraud.

America has had a long tradition of a military that serves the public, the citizens of the USA. The president of the United States is the representative of the public at large in our system. As the commander in chief he is the 10-star Admiral/General etc, all bundled into one. There is no higher military authority in the USA.

When the military refuses to obey the commander in chief means that the entire system is destroyed -- they recently were reported as ignoring Biden's commands as well. This is incredibly dire, a desperately bad thing.

Budgets originate from Congress, so unless he's willing to let budgets and CRs die (it wouldn't work, Congress would pass them with veto-proof majorities to save granny) that won't work.

An audit would be fun. Firing some generals might happen, but it would probably turn Congress against him completely and he'd get nothing done, turn into a lame duck, and sit there as the Establishment let its freak flag fly passing whatever they want with vero-proof majorities while the media claps for bipartisanship.

One of the main criticisms against DeSantis is that he literally had to stave off attempts to steal his election the first time and he along with the Florida legislature had to clean up and harden the voting system.

Apparently he thinks Donks only try to steal elections in Florida, the same goes for Kemp, the same goes for Youngkin.

295 Right now, according to RCP, Biden's average approval is 43.9%.

In 2017, Trump's average approval was 40.5%
in 2018, 42.5%
2019 43.4%

Biden is tracking just about where Trump was. With Trump, gas was dirt cheap, the stock market was booming and the economy was soaring.

With Biden, it's a bear market, we're in a recession, and gas is $5 a gallon. Yet he's doing better than Trump.

People thinking Trump will have a layup against Biden if he's the nominee are dreaming. Trump was also deeply unpopular.

327 The leaders of the military are part of the cabal, period

In their case I think its more that the Pentagon has become hopelessly corrupted by the military-industrial complex. They rejected Trump's plan because it would cost too much and had no chances for graft. They're not driven by their former goals of serve the public and protect America. They're driven by "how can I get rich and help my buddies at Reyethon etc"

People say that the Ukraine war is about money laundering, covering up illegal activity, protecting bio labs, etc. And they are right.

But its more than that. Its about greed. Afghanistan was over 20 years of military-industrial spending, buying missiles, tanks, etc. When that wound down, the Pentagon was not going to shut down that earning power for their buddies (and themselves) so they needed a new conflict. All that money we keep shipping to Ukraine? A big chunk of it goes into Ukraine buying stuff from these companies. The military supplies the government sends over there? Purchased from these companies.

I asked him... hypothetically... that if one were inclined to spin up an "op" to get rid of him - to force a loss or make one plausible against The Cheat (a severe financial crisis, some sort of black swan event), what would be the ideal time to do it? A year before the election? The Autumn of the election? The Spring before the election?

We both agreed that the ideal timing for maximum damage without sufficient time for recovery would be Spring of 2020. And that it would likely happen. We just didn't know what form it would take.

The senior members of the WH press corps have met with Psaki and now KJP to complain about their treatment, or to request Joe do a lot more press briefings with a decent amount of Q and A time. The press corps has sent formal letters to Psaki/KJP with the same complaints and request. No results. Because Psaki/KJP were/are doing exactly what Biden, Susan Rice, and the Chief of Staff ordered them to do. So far, no one has been able to pierce Biden's stone wall for the press.

361 Worked with a colleague from Chicago yesterday. Young gal- but smart- BSEE from Purdue WL…

She voted for the leftist/ socialist for mayor. When I commented that socialism has killed millions throughout history, she replied, “better than fascism”.

There’s no electoral fix even if the cheat is remedied. She’ll be voting for leftists, regardless. It’s not going to end well for the dainty woke in these deep blue metros. She’ll get what she voted for at some point.

362 Anyone who votes for the Democrat deserves what they get.

363 6 12 dead Marines and 1 soldier at Baghram. It was a story for a couple of days and then forgotten. My heart breaks for their families.

Wasn't one of the "Marines" actually a "Marine Regs" Navy Corpsman?

364 >>If Trump is the nominee, it will be purely about him, his persecution and the "stolen election" of 2020. That's what he decided to make 2022 about.

>>Even if you agree 100% with those themes, it's not a winning platform.

Your Trump hatred is so over the top you don't even listen a word he says. He's been holding rallies and putting out position papers and statements for months that have nothing to do with the stolen election.

It's impossible to take you seriously when you lie so blatantly so going forward I won't.

365 Biden's your typical liberal Democrat blame his incompetence on others

366 We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you

But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"you haven't done nothin'"
