Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.47pm post the following, " On the dependence on the Taliban to help secure the perimeter of the Kabul airport. Biden said, “It’s not a matter of trust. It’s a matter of mutual self-interest.”....“We’re just counting on their self-interest to continue to generate their activities. And it’s in their self-interest that we leave when we said and that we get as many people out as we can,” he said. “They’re not good guys, the Taliban. I’m not suggesting that at all.” "
Lets Get Real:
This blog can not remember a past POTUS who has given terrorists, and the Taliban are terrorists a VETO on US national security. POTUS has shown that he is a empty suite, he promises ACTION, but that President never shows up. Even NOW after the death of 13 US Servicemen he cannot admit he was wrong. If he had listened to his Military he would have left the 2, 500 troops in Afghanistan, if he had there would not be NOW 13 DEAD US Servicemen. One hopes that the Republicans retake the House and Senate next year, then they can do a REAL investigation in to the Kabul evac and how much pressure did the White House place on the military to have such a low deployment, how many YES men/women are in the BIDEN WHITE HOUSE. Of course that is NEXT YEAR, it depends how feckless the US VOTER is, by next year if the Biden 3.5 trillion package on the domestic front passes the US Congress, then Biden will run on his domestic record. Of course next year is a long time, as today has show the terrorists have their own agenda, one hopes the CIA and NSA are doing their thing, and catches the terrorists before they ACT, leaving US security Joe Biden would be a mistake.
