The U.S. Army filed a report that blamed the Biden administration for its mindless and disastrous exit from Afghanistan last summer which resulted in 13 American military personnel being killed by a suicide bomber and left hundreds of American civilians and Afghans who aided us behind.
Alleged President Biden appeared on NBC News with Lester Holt and responded to the report that appeared in The Washington Post that day.
The transcript is as follows:
HOLT: On the subject of American citizens, I have to draw your attention to that Army report, an investigative report that’s come out about the lead up to the withdrawal from Afghanistan. It interviewed many military officials and officers who said the administration ignored the handwriting on the wall. Another described trying to get folks in the Embassy ready to evacuate, encountering people who were essentially in denial of the situation. Does any of that ring true to you?
JOE BIDEN: No. No, that’s not what I was told.
HOLT: That, you were told that the U.S. administration officials were prepared, they knew it was time to get out?
BIDEN: No. What I was told, no one told me that, look, there was no good time to get out. But if we had not gotten out, they acknowledged that we would have had to put a hell of a lot more troops back in. It wasn’t just 2,000, 4,000, we would have to significantly increase the number of troops, and we’re back in this this war of attrition. And, and there was no way we were ever going to unite Ukraine, excuse me, Iraq, Afghanistan. No way that was going to happen. And so this is a much wiser thing to do.
HOLT: I just want to clarify, are you rejecting the conclusions or the the accounts that are in this Army report?
BIDEN: Yes, I am.
HOLT: So they’re not true?
BIDEN: I’m rejecting them.
So it specifies that senior White House and State Department officials weren't able to assess the situation of the Taliban's steady advance on Kabul and even resisted attempts by U.S. military brass to prepare to evacuate embassy personnel and Afghan allies in the weeks prior to the fall of the capital city. This place our military that were ordered to carry out the evacuation in greater danger as stated in sworn testimony from multiple military leaders involved in what turned out to be amateur hour.
Cruz was being kind.
The truth is, Biden is a liar and has always been a liar. His rationale for pulling out of Afghanistan the way we did was about his narcissistic need to have the legacy that he was the president who ended our involvement in the war. There are reportedly more Americans and Afghans stuck in the country that should have been evacuated and that's on Biden's empty head.

Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) tweeted: “The only non-profane thing I can say is he has impressive message discipline on ‘defending the *concept* of withdrawal’ (objectively defensible, to which I agree) versus ‘defending the *execution* of the withdrawal’ (objectively indefensible, which still boils my blood).”
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) tweeted: “Joe Biden tonight DENYING the facts laid out in a 2000 page Army report on the collapse of Afghanistan – and the White House’s total lack of preparation, It is time Senate Democrats stopped the whitewash and held hearings. In public. Now.”
Biden's approval rated is in the toilet for good reason. He is clearly unable to fulfill his role as President and has no business being in the White House. People should demand he take a cognitive test immediately.
