The Pentagon Friday contradicted President Biden’s assertion that al Qaeda was “gone” from Afghanistan.
“Let’s put this into perspective here,” Biden said during a press conference Friday in the East Room. “What interest do we have in Afghanistan at this point with al Qaeda gone?”
.@POTUS – "What interest do we have in #Afghanistan at this point with Al Qaeda gone.” A DoD IG report from Aug 17, 2021 says "the Taliban continued to maintain its relationship with al-Qaeda, providing safe haven for the terrorist group in Afghanistan." https://t.co/gdXiO8E13l pic.twitter.com/RytywJAqk0

An hour later, asked about al Qaeda’s presence in Afghanistan, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said: “We know that al Qaeda is a presence as well as ISIS in Afghanistan. And we’ve talked about that for quite some time. We do not believe it is exorbitantly high, but we don’t have an exact figure for you, as I think you might understand.”
BIDEN CANCELS PLANS TO HEAD TO WILMINGTON FOR THE WEEKEND
Yup, the administration continues to hum like a finely tuned engine.

Don’t trust anything that Biden or his administration say. They don’t know just how many Americans are over there, they have no plans to go and collect them or those who helped us, so why would we trust Kirby’s estimate of al Qaeda strength?
biden has been a blatant liar since his early days of his long, corrupt, political “career”. It’s now hard wired into his brain neurons, yay, into his very inner spirit.
On a side note, newsmax reports as follows: “Poll: Less Than 40 Percent of US Voters Think Biden’s in Charge”. The poll is a Rasmussen poll released today; in general, I don’t trust polls but in this case I believe it truly reflects what we in this blog have known for a while, that senile joe is not really in control. Newsmax goes on to say that a New York Times piece in July suggested that Ron Klein is the man calling the shots (he’s senile joe’s chief of staff). This is why many republicans, per the piece, call Ron Klein “Mr Prime Minister”
Another question asked in the Rasmussen poll released today was ”How confident are you that Joe Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being President of the United States?” The response: “Fifty-two percent said ”not very” (11 percent) or ”not at all” (41 percent) confident. ”
I hope this is a true and strong indication that the average American is finally waking up to the reality that we in this blog have known since day 1 of this administration’s reign of destruction and suffering.
JG… the left doesn’t care who’s in charge! The far left doesn’t think he’s done enough to ruin this country.
So sad!
I agree with you, George, the left doesn’t care who’s in charge and that the far left doesn’t think he’s done enough to ruin our country. I just hope and pray that the radical far left extremists are NOT 51% or more of the country. If it is, our only way out will be divine intervention.
Not sure if it’s but French intelligence is reporting ISIS has infiltrated Kabul airport? Anyone else hear the same?
