Biden’s Taliban Speech Branded ‘one Of The Most Shameful In US History’(Pix) by Gospelpreacher1: 3:49pm On Aug 17, 2021
LOWEST OF THE JOE: JOE Biden’s statement about the crisis in Afghanistan was branded “one of the most shameful” in American history as he was accused of “washing his hands” of desperate Afghans.

The president doubled down on the decision to withdraw troops ahead of the 20th anniversary of 9/11 as he slammed the Afghan government for "giving up" in the face of Taliban militants.

Biden’s handling of the crisis has been compared to the “Fall of Saigon” - a humiliating US retreat that effectively marked the end of the Vietnam War.

The hasty evacuation in Kabul came just months after the president promised the US would leave Afghanistan in a "safe and orderly way".


Media outlets in both the US and UK condemned Biden's address to the American people.

The Wall Street Journal described Biden’s speech as “one of the most shameful in history by a commander in chief”.

The outlet claimed a smaller US presence in the country could’ve “prevented the rout”.

The Sun said: “There has to be a better way to exit than this shambolic headlong retreat that sold millions of ordinary Afghans down the river and will haunt the West for decades, if not centuries, to come.”

Fox News presenter Will Cain called for Biden to resign as he described the address as a "masterclass in doublespeak".

Democratic Rep. and former Air Force veteran Chrissy Houlahan told CNN: "These past few days have been difficult to process, and not because the Taliban's progress was surprising.

"In fact, the opposite. We sounded the alarm, and our dire warnings fell on deaf ears."


Lawmakers accused Biden of trying to "blame others" as the president explained the decision to withdraw troops stemmed from a deal Trump negotiated with the Taliban.

Biden claimed he had two options - either to honor the agreement or to deploy American soldiers.

Rep. Elise Stefanik quipped: “Joe Biden tries to pass the buck. The American people will see him for what he is.

“A weak, feckless leader UNFIT to serve as the President of the United States.”

The Republican congresswoman called for Biden’s “speech-writers” to be fired.


Senator Lindsey Graham said: “The Biden speech was a pathetic attempt to shift blame and an unnerving analysis of the situation he – and he alone created."

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz said: “Joe Biden’s address was beyond disappointing. Instead of blaming others, Joe Biden owes the American people a real explanation of what went so wrong so fast in Afghanistan.”

The backlash came after Biden admitted that he was surprised by the speed of the Afghan government’s collapse.

He told Americans that “he stands squarely” behind his decision to withdraw troops and has no regrets.

Biden told the nation: “After 20 years, I've learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw US forces. We will end America's longest war after 20 long years of bloodshed.”


He blamed the outgoing Afghan administration, accusing leaders of “giving up without a fight”.

The president reiterated that American troops shouldn’t be fighting in a war “that Afghan forces are not willing to fight themselves”.

'BLAME GAME'

It comes as the president was accused of being "oblivious" to the terrorist threats the Taliban poses to the US.

Senator Graham told Newsweek: “It’s only a matter of time until al-Qaeda re-emerges in Afghanistan and presents a threat to the American homeland and western world.”

Department of Homeland Security officials fears that foreign terrorist organizations could be motivated by the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

Former President Donald Trump called on Biden to "resign in disgrace" following the Taliban's advances as they took control of Afghanistan.

In a statement, he said: “It is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he allowed to happen in Afghanistan, along with the tremendous surge in Covid, the border catastrophe, the destruction of energy independence, and our crippled economy."


Boris Johnson appeared to blame the US for the advancement of the Taliban in the country.

He said the "difficult" situation had been exacerbated by Biden's decision to withdraw troops from the war-torn country.

Thousands of people desperately stormed planes Monday in a bid to flee Taliban rule.

Video footage appears to show two people "falling to their deaths" after being thrown from a C-17 aircraft that had just taken off from Kabul airport.

And, a stampede on the airfield left at least seven people dead.

It's feared that the Taliban government could mean a repressive regime, particularly for women and girls.

They were brutalized and oppressed - with cruel tortures and public executions - when the militant group ruled Afghanistan in the 90s.

Best speech ever.... Blunt and straight forward

20 years ago, US sent Americans to Afghanistan for their own protection, thousands of Americans died, thousands more physical wounded, hundreds of thousands mentally traumatized, 1 trillion wasted in war expenses without any significant results or benefits to American taxpayers or Christian world

Joe Biden made it crystal clear, 20 years ago some American parents might have been sent to a pointless American mission in Afghanistan, in 2021 he is not willing to send more of the war veterans kids again to witness pointless war their parents witnessed

If you wish to join the Fight as a righteous Christian to defend Afghan Shi'ite, Sunni Muslim or orthodox Catholic, take a flight to Kabul

Joe Biden as a Father watched his son fight as a US Army Major from 2002 to 2015 in the Middle east till he died... That's personal sacrifice of a father

Afghanistan is not in any chaos, the streets are safer now than when America were running things.

Taliban is already offering amnesty to saboteurs and it can only get better from here.

Don't let western media fool you into thinking "Afghanistan have fallen"

Way back, we spoke on how America ( The Sleeping Giant) has become a shadow of itself.
I said here that America has become a bunch of Clown, heading for Destruction and on the edge of Oblivion.

The USA did not just become a world Power because they had the Dollar. It is GOD ALMIGHTY that makes Kings and Brings down kings. The POWERS that be are Ordained by GOD. GOD Blessed the USA and made her a Super Power.

The USA has over the years deviated from the laid down Godly Foundation of the Founding Fathers. The USA was built on Judaic Godly Principles but today it has become a Cesspool of Iniquity, Abominations, Lawlessness ,unGodliness and everything evil.

Trump who was seen as Unqualified and a Fornicator was GOD'S Mercy on the USA to turn them back to their root. I remember I kept vocing it here that Trump is a Mercy Period.

What is happening now to the USA is just a shadow of what is Coming. When GOD Invest in you and you mess up! Once your cup gets full , it is Disater and Destruction.

America today From its Leadership has turned its back on GOD.
GOD has also turned HIS back on her.

If GOD turned His First Born Isreal to a graveyard and drove them out of their land when they messed up, America aka Babylon the Great will not be Spared.

My Admonishment to all and sundry is this, in this Endtimes, there are Nations that are appointed for Destruction, so ensure you seek God's Face and Permission before you go on that trip, because GOD will only protect the Person he sends to a place.

Just like they handed Libya to terrorists
This Democrats are not done... Biden is worse
Any POTUS being supported on Nairaland by the moniker monogamy .. falseprophet.. jerryherd is definitely from the pit of hell...
These northern guys above are staunch supporters of Taliban and Boko Haram terrorists like Pantami... they're not hiding anything..
Doubt me go through their posts,even on this thread..

The kind of support Taliban is getting from northern Nigeria on social media needs to worry all that is sane...

We are not one
We have never been..

The way the terrorist sympathizers rise against any voice of Truth in the South is alarming.. they want to leave us at their Mercy..

There's fire on the mountain..
Let's seek state police or regional army..
We Southerners need to settle our differences and come back to the round table.. before it's too late
