The White House surreptitiously corrected "a Biden" from the President's softball news conference Thursday. He screwed up the names of Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani and the controversial former head of Pakistan's military whose name is not Ashraf Ghani.
"And General Austin is — just met with Kayani and I’m waiting for the briefing on that," Biden softly mush-mouthed.
Hopefully the briefing will clue him in on the names of the people whose names he botched. Of course, the official White House transcript fixed the name "Ghani" and quietly got rid of Kayani, whose full name is Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. He left the Pakistani military in 2013 under less than pleasant circumstances due to his often being accused of "double-dealing and bad faith," The New York Times reported.
But besides confusing Ghani with Kayani, Biden appeared to question the legitimacy of Ghani as Afghanistan's president.
"He is the — the 'leader,' quote, in Afghanistan and Kabul. And there’s a U.N.-led process that’s beginning shortly on how to mechanically get people — how to end this war," Biden softly blubbered.
That quote was not changed in the White House official transcript in spite of Ghani's winning a contested presidential election last year. He was sworn in in March but his rival is doing a "Stacy Abrams" by pretending he won. The U.S. recognizes Ghani as the rightful winner of the election, in spite of what Joe may think, if indeed he does.

Biden's news conference with pre-arranged questions on Thursday was the first of his presidency, 65 days after he was inaugurated. There were no tough questions, nothing about the recent gun scandal of Biden's vagrant son Hunter; nothing about the COVID-19 situation other than self-congratulatory posturing; and no Fox News' Peter Doocy being asked any questions out of fear of journalism.
The president also lied stating that he is committed to transparency on the border, which is exactly the opposite of the truth as he isn't allowing the press access to the cages.
Journalism is in the ICU and there are all kinds of beeps and bells going off. Biden isn't doing much better.
