July 8th - President Meatball - THERE WILL BE NO REMOVAL OF AMERICANS FROM THE TOP OF OUR EMBASSY. YOU TOLD US THAT - IDIOT!!
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden announced Saturday that he's authorized the deployment of 5,000 troops to Afghanistan to ensure "an orderly and safe" drawdown and evacuate U.S. personnel as well as Afghans who helped American troops as Taliban militants continued to make rapid territorial gains across the country.
Biden released a statement announcing he would dispatch additional troops, along with a series of actions aimed at helping Afghan forces blunt the Taliban onslaught, following a morning meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris and his national security team, according to a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the meeting.
The total number includes the 3,000 troops the Pentagon sent to Afghanistan on Thursday to help evacuate U.S. Embassy personnel from Kabul as conditions worsened amid the Taliban offensive.
Biden said he directed U.S. armed forces and intelligence community to "ensure that we will maintain the capability and the vigilance to address future terrorist threats from Afghanistan" and ordered Secretary of State Antony Blinken to support Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and engage regional stakeholders to help "prevent further bloodshed and pursue a political settlement" with Taliban insurgents.
