Biden has been lying to the American people about Afghanistan. He's been lying for weeks.
Reuters reviewed a transcript and recording of Biden's call with President Ghani, publishing some excerpts.
From the
Daily Mail:
Four weeks before Kabul collapsed, Ghani pleaded for more air support and money for soldiers who had not had a pay rise in a decade.
A transcript obtained by Reuters reveals two leaders oblivious to the impending disaster and an American president focused on spinning the message.
'I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,' Biden said.
'And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.'
The Taliban were already capturing district after district across the country, while the US and Afghanistan were at loggerheads over tactics.
In the months leading up to the chaotic US military withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was completed on Monday, Biden was telling the public a different story - that the withdrawal would be done smoothly and that Washington's Afghan allies were in control.
'I don't think anybody anticipated that,' Biden told ABC News when asked about the swift disintegration of the Afghan security forces.
...In July, Biden said that the withdrawal, which was to be complete by August 31, was 'proceeding in a secure and orderly way.' He gave no indication that it would be chaotic.
When asked if a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was inevitable, the president responded: 'No, it is not.'
...Biden said that he was not told that the Taliban would take over as quickly as they did. Instead, he said there was a possibility it would take more time.
'Not even close,' Biden said.
Behind the scenes, however, Biden apparently knew that the situation was more precarious.
Biden lied about his knowledge of the situation in Afghanistan. His concern was changing the "perception" of the country falling to the Taliban.
So, we have a phone call where Biden pressures the president of Afghanistan to present a lie to the world.
Ghani took part in a follow-up call later that same day with Jake Sullivan, Mark Milley and Frank McKenzie, not Biden. Probably napping.
In a follow-up call later that day that did not include the US president, Biden's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, General Mark Milley and U.S. Central Command commander General Frank McKenzie spoke to Ghani.
Reuters also obtained a transcript of that call.
In this call, too, an area of focus was the global perception of events on the ground in Afghanistan.
Biden and his regime LIED about what was happening in Afghanistan. Biden pressured Ghani to run with a false narrative.
They didn't care about turning the country over to the Taliban and making it a safe haven for terrorists. They cared about managing the negative perception of events.
Thirteen Americans died because Biden didn't care about a safe and orderly withdrawl. He wanted to control the messaging of leaving Afghanistan, but he didn't care about the chaos. Same goes for the Biden Regime.
We need accountability, meaning resignations and impeachment.
