Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said: 'We know that al-Qaeda is a presence, as well as ISIS, in Afghanistan'
* Biden on Friday declared success in ridding Afghanistan of Al Qaeda, in a speech from the East Room
* Flanked by Harris and Blinken, he said Americans had not been prevented from reaching Kabul airport
* But both claims were immediately contradicted by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Pentagon spokesman
* John Kirby said al-Qaeda remained in the country, but tried to cover for Biden by saying presence was limited
* Austin told members of Congress he was 'troubled' by news of Americans being beaten in Kabul
* The contradictions will put White House messaging operations under scrutiny as chaos in country continues
Minutes after President Biden on Friday said the mission to destroy Al Qaeda in Afghanistan was a success and that he knew of no circumstances where Americans had been unable to reach Kabul airport, he was flatly contradicted by the Pentagon.
Al Qaeda remains present in Afghanistan, said Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby during a briefing, and yes, he was aware of reports of Americans being beaten by the Taliban as they tried to reach safety.
The contradiction will raise further doubt about whether Biden is in control of the White House messaging operation, let alone the chaotic effort to bring Americans home.

Update: Defense Secretary Austin Acknowledges Taliban Beatings of Americans in Kabul (National Review)
WNU Editor: As I had mentioned yesterday. I have never seen this many senior political appointed government officials coming out this publicly to say that the US President is wrong.

Good. But it's not enough, more needs to be done. Far far more
Keep up the good work Mr. President.
You have my vote in 2024.
Our vote too, and you can rely on us!!
-- the dead
-- the deep state
-- the marxists taking over and laughing you're not even fighting
The symptoms we’ve seen this week only manifest when their is nobody in charge.
Of course thinking people knew this since Biden was sworn in. A govt of fiefdoms, competing interests, people in it for a profit all rowing in different directions.
Fine when the nation was a hyper power. A disaster when it’s not and with world wide responsibilities.
This is a catastrophe with dire implications for the Japanese, Taiwanese, Baltic’s, Poles.
The worst is yet to come!
Jac yeah..
There's also the added complexity that they run these war simulations, eg operation dark winter, for 20 years since 9/11
And all of the current governments have similar drills copied from the US approach
And they were drilled to do the following:
1. Lock down hard to prevent loss of life
2. Create vaccine rapidly, use emergency status to let FDA give use exemption
3. Temporarily subdue rights to force vaccinate
4. Build relocation camps and isolate not just the sick but dissidents
5. Implement state approved censorship
But..
As they drilled this into all the west's government people, they almost made it a reflex to them.. every year they did this simulation before the outbreak
And, the problem is also this.. by publishing your response strategy to such an outbreak, hostile nation states could exploit this knowledge and use it against you
For example, the previous mRNA vaccines killed the test rats in a few months. Now rats don't live as long, so it'll likely take a few years in humans (but more than 11,000 have died already of the vaccines according to VAERS itself, and the Harvard pilgrim study of 2009, if you ready it yourself and don't believe snopes and these fact check demons who lead us into the abyss, only reports 1.3% typically, as people don't know about the database. For very severe cases like instant death when it occurs in the hospitals, they of course record it at higher rate, a doctor who treated the initial outbreak in NYC out it at 20% .. so 5x11,000 vaccine deaths in US already. )
I'm starting to think it's the vaccines
the president's attention span is so short that he will say any lie to debunk tough question which portray him in a bad light. Biden lies like a young child with chocolate smeared on his mouth saying "I didn't eat the chocolate", and no longer has the intellect to realize that nobody believes him. He will not last out his term, in fact, what the White House will need to do is to somehow convince Kamala Harris to step down as VP, then appoint someone more capable in her place, then have Biden step down for medical reasons. This seems convoluted, but it was precisely what was done 40 years ago--first VP Spiro Agnew was removed as VP, then Gerald Ford was appointed as VP, then Richard Nixon resigned and Ford became a caretaker President. The same thing will need to happen here. Can the powers behind the throne pull this off? Remember that you read it here first!
7:17 it kind of makes sense, BUT globalists for years have put protected classes into places of power as no one dares criticize them then, thanks to the weaponized cancel culture of these special interest groups ...
That kind of makes me think they'll use her.. plus she's a known card, less surprises etc.. plus it goes so great with their push for class, gender and racial division they've created for so long just to rule the US.
But I dig your way of thinking, keep em coming
