As the United Nation’s secretary general warned Friday that Afghanistan is “spinning out of control,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby rejected comparisons between the current situation to the fall of Saigon in 1975.
“We’re not focused on the history of the Vietnam War,” he told reporters at a news conference.
Earlier Friday, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, said President Biden’s “Saigon moment” is unfolding before the world.
“For months, I have pressed President Biden for a plan to avoid the very situation that is now happening in Afghanistan. Now, American lives are at risk because President Biden still doesn’t have a plan,” he said.
On Thursday, Biden ordered 3,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan to help evacuate U.S. Embassy staff from Kabul after the Taliban had seized 12 provincial capitals. The Taliban now controls 17 of the nation’s 34 provincial capitals, including Kandahar, the second-largest city, and is rapidly advancing towards the capital Kabul.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said at a press conference Friday he was “deeply disturbed by early indications that the Taliban are imposing severe restrictions in the areas under their control, particularly targeting women and journalists.”
This whole money grabbing scheme was all planned. Joe and other family members bailed to Rehobeth Beach. His press secretary ducks out on vacation, and Hunter heads to Hawaii where he was coordinating the shipping of Afghanistan cash to various secret locations. The former King grabbed what was left behind for his exit. Everybody involved now have agreed amongst themselves to how to divide all all the loot. An unexpected benefit to Hunter was his receiving a huge supply of deeply discounted Crack Cocaine.
It’s the heist of the century.
This wasn’t Biden’s Saigon – this is much worse. He is a dangerously inept, clueless old man and if there was ever a REAL case for impeachment, this is it.
YES,, Biden & his Democrats are GUILTY & get ALL the Blame , so don’t even try blaming TRUMP !!!!!
