If you’ve read any of our posts Thursday about the situation in Afghanistan, you’ll have seen the Photoshop of President Biden eating ice cream superimposed over the fall of Saigon:

As Twitchy has reported, as we’re pulling our current troops out of Afghanistan, thousands of troops will be sent to Afghanistan to ensure that diplomats and other Americans in the country will be able to get out as the Taliban retakes Afghanistan.
President Biden was asked if there are any parallels to be drawn with Vietnam, and he assured the reporter that the two are “not at all comparable” and you would not be seeing Americans airlifted off the roof of the embassy.
Comfortably Smug ~ Joe Biden: "There's gonna be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable."

Meanwhile ...
Steve Herman ~ "We certainly anticipate there will be airlift required of us," adds @PentagonPressSec.
LandoNesta ~ Translation: "There's gonna be a circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy of the United States from Afghanistan.”
Jim LeNoir ~ He didn’t say it wasn’t going to happen ... just that you won’t see it!
upon the tree of woe ~ Right, you're not going to "see" it. What he meant was that the media just won't show the images. Big difference there.
A.C. R. ~ He is right, they are moving the embassy to the airport, so it will not be off of a rooftop.
NStep ~ Biden will tell you “I said not lifted off the roof!” - stop misquoting me!
George MF Washington ~ This time they’re tunneling out.
sportsfanlenny ~ Biden is so completely lost. What an utter disaster.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
