(ConcernedPatriot.com) – President Joe Biden reiterated remarks after the State Department published an "after-action review" of the botched withdrawal, saying that his decision to remove American forces from Afghanistan, which resulted in 13 deaths and more injuries, was not a mistake.
As Biden left the room after delivering live remarks on the Supreme Court decision invalidating his $430 billion student debt forgiveness scheme, a reporter asked him if he would concede failure in Afghanistan.
"Mr. President, do you acknowledge Afghanistan's failure? Mistakes? A report on the disengagement from Afghanistan claimed that there had been failures and errors. Do you acknowledge that errors were made both before and during the withdrawal?" the journalist questioned.
"No, no," Biden retorted as he turned around. "All of the evidence is accumulating. Recall what I said about Afghanistan, don't you? Al-Qaeda wouldn't be there, I said. I guaranteed that it wouldn't be. I promised that the Taliban would assist us. What's going on right now? What is happening? Read the news. I was correct."
