With The Fall Of Kabul And The Complete Collapse Of The Afghan Government Is President Biden On Vacation?

The House House did release an image of Biden on a briefing call at Camp David with the caption: 'This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul'

Daily Mail: 'Where's Joe?' Republicans claim the president is taking a 'vacation' at Camp David with radio silence all Sunday while chaos unfolds in Afghanistan following his troop withdrawal 

* Republicans lashed out at Joe Biden for going on 'vacation' while the Taliban took over the majority of Afghanistan, including Kabul on Sunday 

* Jim Jordan said, 'Why is Joe Biden on vacation, why hasn't his administration taken a single question? This is an embarrassment' 

* Senator Tom Cotton demanded Biden 'immediately address the nation' 

* The House House did release an image of Biden on a briefing call at Camp David 

* 'This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on [Afghanistan],' it was captioned 

* In just over a week the Taliban was able to take control of 28 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces and breach the capital city of Kabul 

* Biden and first lady Jill left on Friday for Camp David, a presidential work and leisure retreat. 

They will remain there until Wednesday Republicans lambasted Joe Biden for 'going on vacation' on Sunday as he remained silent on Afghanistan while the capital city of Kabul was overrun by the Taliban and the president hunkered down at Camp David.

'First thing's first, why is Joe Biden on vacation, why hasn't his administration taken a single question? This is an embarrassment,' Ohio Representative Jim Jordan told Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures. 

The Republican congressman and Trump ally also tweeted on Sunday: 'America's in crisis. Afghanistan's in chaos. Why's Joe Biden on vacation?'

Yes, absolutely! There is nobody on the wheel. An administration which is fleeing the facts is just abandoning the boat. We are by ourselves.
That's exactly what a fraudulent election is giving. Incompetent and inconsistent people. And they can push the "red button" Ouch!

Installed President Biden is always on vacation. No one is home. Vice President Boots has not been told what to think by Willie.

ANYONE who is who both surprised by this AND voted for Corn Pop and Krazy Kamala should have their life support systems immediately terminated.

Biden has been a politician nearly his whole life. I don't believe he is someone to take charge as much as is needed here because he's not up to it based on life experience. He was elected by voters who don't like Trump. Elected by a less than impartial press corps. They got their way last election now watch them criticize and howl.
Any veteran has experienced the 'can do sir' set. Does anyone here not think this is what biden was told by the "experts" in uniform and out?
And who now reading my thoughts could have conceived of an army like the Afghan tribes who were predominant in that army and who are now running to where they know not. Ill bet few are from Masood's tribe who prevailed against both Russia and the talibs. Or the other one, the Hazzaris, who were never overcome by the taliban if I read correctly.
As far as I am concerned the withdrawal was long overdue. Pakistan milked this for all it was worth because they could. We had some weak leverage when we chose to go into Afghanistan.
For all the time we spent over there it didn't seem to kill enough of the talibs. Of course, some could have been born AFTER we invaded, don't forget.
So to put my family on history's stage my Grandfather fought in WW1, the old man and uncle in WWII, me in Vietnam, and a great nephew has served in Iraq. I've left out the ones who served in the Civil War. I think this is enough for awhile. Let the Afghans look in the mirror and ask not why did the US and allies finally leave but what did you do to preserve what we gave you.
