It was up to CENTCOM’s Gen. Kenneth McKenzie to address the press today and call an official end to the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan. The commander-in-chief did issue a statement Monday praising the “unparalleled results” of the airlift of Afghan refugees and American citizens. We always knew the Biden administration would frame this bug-out as a great victory, even though President Biden assured us we wouldn’t be seeing images like those of the fall of Saigon.
The president will address the nation Tuesday afternoon.
Anders Hagstrom ~ President Biden will address the nation on the Afghanistan withdrawal at 1:30pm EDT tomorrow.

Jerry Dunleavy ~ Biden: “Tomorrow afternoon I’ll address the American people on my decision not to extend our presence in Afghanistan beyond Aug 31. For now, I’ll report it was the unanimous recommendation of the Joint Chiefs & all our commanders on the ground to end our airlift mission as planned.”
Varad Mehta ~ "The generals told me to bug out, so if any of the Americans I left behind are hurt or die, it's totally their fault."

Dan Goldwasser ~ All of them should resign.
Michael Brennan ~ They should all be fired, or resign in disgrace.

The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
