Why would his staff want a pic of Biden sitting alone during such a crisis? Did they want us to think "he's got this"?
Releasing that pic is almost as poor a decision as his Afghan failure.

China keeps their embacy open and embraces the Taliban. Russia to last time I heard, had their embassy open and not evacuated. Why would they? China has been working with the Taliban for years.The Taliban has helped China as mercenaries in their efforts in Tibet. And Russia along with Iran supplies and provides the Taliban with military support.Pakistan also is an ally although under the table.Pakistan is also a nuclear power and a notorious exporter of nuclear technology .

Could be worse-he could have been watching looney toons on the tv. If he was it was just reminiscing of when he was a star on that show.

What President goes on vacation without any advisors when your going to make probably the biggest military move of your Presidency? Where's the VP? Where's his press secretary? (also on vacation) You can't make this up and to think ....well I better not say it. You can't see the other TV just out of the picture. He is watching Bugs Bunny cartoons on it !!!

The President said:
"There was only a cold reality of either following through on the agreement to withdraw our forces or escalating the conflict and sending thousands more American troops back into combat in Afghanistan. Lurching into the third decade of conflict. I stand squarely behind my decision. After 20 years I’ve learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw U.S. Forces. That’s why we’re still there. We were clear-eyed about the risk. We planned for every contingency. But I always promised the American people that I would be straight with you. The truth is this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated.
"So what’s happened? Afghanistan’s political leaders gave up and fled the country. The Afghan military collapsed, sometimes without trying to fight. If anything, the developments in the past week reinforced that any U.S. Military involvement in Afghanistan now was the right decision. American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves."
Darned if I can see what's so controversial about these words. Either we're going to pull out, or else continue to put our troops in harm's way and die for a people that won't stand up for themselves.
Nuking them has never been an option, and is ridiculous to mention.

Still no one with an idea of how to handle our withdrawal from Afghanistan?
What should we be doing instead of what we're doing now?
Jim Perhaps you are being ignored on purpose. ROTFLMAO! You didn't do much of a job ignoring me, did you? Jim

Jim How about when the Taliban are in the open you remove them from the face of the planet. Doubt we've run out of missiles or jets to deliver them. When all of your people are out, then our killing could stop. Now if we could go back to 2001 and approach war as if to win it, as Danny has suggested, this wouldn't be happening in the first place So Biden should repudiate the agreement Trump signed, which said the US would not attack the Taliban and would leave Afghanistan?
