As the chaotic operation to rescue Americans and allies from Afghanistan ends, the Biden administration pushes Secretary of State Anthony Blinken toward the microphones to make a statement. The anticipated statement is scheduled to begin between 6:30pm and 7:00pm ET.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken remarks on the situation in Afghanistan from the Department of State’s Treaty Room. U.S. forces have completed their evacuation from Afghanistan, ending America’s longest war. Update: Video Added

We already know the statement will bear little, if any, resemblance to the truth.
Team White House/Pentagon threw in the towel verses State Department/CIA.
I think they’re ALL in cahoots.
Blinken should start off with his resignation, turn and leave!!
Force him to leave and take the rest with him…..
Can it get any worse – Blinken spoke about people who “self-identify as Americans.” What in the world does that mean?
I guess being an American is now a “trans” thing. It certainly has nothing to do with citizenship or values any more, that’s for sure.
you mean like if you were born an American you are not necessarily an American if the Biden administration deems that you aren’t?
Perfect name don’t you think?
Blinken SOB.
Blinken IDIOT
Blinken SWAP RAT
etc….
It he U.K. Daily Mail has an interesting piece up showing an terrified Afghan News Anchor flanked by possessed looking armed Taliban.
That should be posted next to this lie.
Looks like Blinken, not Austin or Milley drew the short straw.
Me thinks you are correct.
Likely so. But wondering if it’s not topping from the bottom. Blinken shows leadership (not Biden) by talking to Americans, and has the opportunity to create lasting spin.
They all have blood on there hands.
their hands
DON’T F******* BOTHER, TOADY. UNLESS IT’S YOUR RESIGNATION.
The only thing I want to hear is that he has resigned. I do not listen to liars.
… and has taken the military halfwits with him!
Doesn’t the PRESIDENT usually deliver this type of speech??? Sorry… forgot we are in the land of ‘looking glass’ now.
It’s Sundowners time.
5 p.m. lid.
Joey is scheduled give one tomorrow our 31st not the one Afghanistan today. And don’t forget he had a big to do planned for 9/11.
He’d be wise to stay in his basement on 9/11.
No public gathering will want him there.
Best he get some rest.
I shudder to think what the Taliban have prepared for 9/11
And ISIS, and Al Qaida, and Muslim Brotherhood, and Hezbollah, and Hammas, and… the list goes on and on. I always take some quiet time to reflect every September 11, but for this one, I have lots of trepidation.
I’d be more worried about the ones who did the original one if I was you.
I’m sure with all the people they brought over without even finding who or what they are, 9/11 will go on with a bang somewhere or several somewheres.
Al Qaeda and Isis should be your bigger concern. The Taliban is shaking down Joey and the gang and don’t want anything to do with any 9/11 shenanigans right now.
let me guess…..
Blinken resigns and we get Hillary again?
Worse yet, Susan Rice.
Ahhhhhhgghhh! Not again ??? Doesn’t matter, their all lying at breakneck speed. It’s unsustainable.
You have her now. You don’t actually think this pencil neck cadaver calls the shots?!
Actually, that would be Valerie Jarrett. Rice is just another meat puppet.
Or John Kerry.
Hey, they need to bring the new team on-board… How about Chelsea for SOS, and Hunter for SOD?
But not before Blinken gets a multi-million dollar book deal and a job at CNBC
No one appears to be resigning or poised for getting fired. The left knows this will blow over like everything else thanks to their little helpers in the media and a nation full of brainwashing, zombie, lemmings.
Blinky is guzzling his 6th scotch & water double since Happy Hour began at 5.
You mean he is a guest over at the Pentagon ?
You mean he cuts it with water?
He cuts it with disaronno ?
Think I’ll pass.
Have had enough “winning” for one day. /s
Many of the Afghans who we flew out in preference to our own citizens were no doubt Afghans who could afford to bribe officials of the State Department, US military personnel, and perhaps CIA. That’s not in doubt, given the corruption we’ve seen in the federal government (corruption isn’t just selling integrity for money, but selling it for anything, like career advancement).
What has me worried is, where did the money for these bribes come from?
Our foreign aid, of course…..
Our tax dollars.
Or on the terrorist watch list. They’ll be needed for the false flag operations
Truly makes me want to vomit seeing the Taliban in the US Military uniforms.
Makes me want to put on the IDF uniform that a friend brought me long time ago and visit every muslim store and restaurant in San Antonio.
No worse than seeing the very overpaid Pentagon Generals in US Military uniforms.
Maybe not even as bad.
good point!
This is old…. But hang onto the list
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2020/10/20/list-of-former-senior-military-leaders-backing-biden-now-outnumbers-trumps.html
YEAH ! WT EFFFF ?!!!!!!!
yes!
I realize the weapons and equipment are millions and millions of dollars worth – but seeing them in those uniforms –
galling!
Did the Pentagon have our troops wash and wax them first?
Sure would help if Arizona would throw us a bone before the year 2346
I’m beginning to think these audits are more smoke and mirrors.
what is that – waxing – is that a thing?
Probably should have pulled all working parts out and booby trapped them
Left Behind Joe is an illegitimate President. Anyone in his chain of non- command is illegitimate. Everything they do is illegal. This needs to be hammered home everyday. They are all criminals from the Oval Office down to the janitor. CRIMINALS!
To resign I hope
4.8% of the people evacuated were Americans
sad!
The Pentagon had set the goal at 2.4%, so I guess they doubled their target and should all get medals.
Not even worth my time!!
Mine either but the comments here are priceless. ??
How arrogant this Administration is to turn someone else’s country over to the Taliban instead of to the citizens of Afghanistan.
yes!
the Taliban to “govern” and the natural resources to China!
I was in for about 30 seconds and had an attack from too much sugar coating…when will this BS stop?
He said “33,000 emails….”
I’m surprised this jerk isn’t talking about the greatest threat to the world, white male Christians.
Maybe Milley will be up next and cover that.
I’m sure it’s international trans-gender dog day day or some such stupid thing for these people to celebrate.
Like he covers a sofa cushion.
Obfuscation serial liar nobody heads will roll. Oh wait heads will roll…
Due to the massive coordination of the Federal Govts complete incompetence, all of the executive intelligence agencies, the Dept of State, and military, and the Inside players within the regime. along with Joe and Jill, are complicit in the worst botching of an American Military operation in our history.
Notice how not one has resigned?
Lefties never express any accountability for bungling, which all of their policies inevitably expose.
They think we don’t see it, or we will forget.
That’s exactly how criminals behave.
TL;DW
Operation: Resettle Kabul has been a resounding success!
Elections certified with massive election fraudulate votes have consequences.
AF is just one of hundreds of willful and knowing corruption and incompetence.
Over 100,000+ evacuated, only ~6300 were Americans. This is a win? My God these people have no shame.
How is it possible to end the “mission” while leaving so many Americans and allies behind to face certain torture and death. This is completely unacceptable and should be regarded as criminal.
oh, but those Americans want to stay behind he claims. And he has promised WHEN they want to leave, we will come back for them!!! Who are these “Americans” who want to stay behind and live in TALIBAN controlled Afghanistan? Did anyone tell them they could be hostaged or worse, that we could NOT guarantee their safety in such a decision? Or are these people there to be captured willingly in order to keep us hostaged to them??
Blinken is claiming those left behind WANTED TO BE!!
This is F’d up.
It’s an act of war, on America.
I can see how Xi’s guys were able to slap this Wet Noodle around a few months back.
A lot of focus on Afghans, Marines, other countries. Little about Americans left. I suspect few facts to actual numbers.
He admitted a couple minutes ago that 100-200 were left behind… rewinding to get the exact numbers.
“We believe there are still a small number of Americans — under 200, and likely closer to 100 — who remain in Afghanistan, and want to leave. We are trying to determine exactly how many.”
Well he can subtract the women in the buses.
This is absolutely horrible

He also added- “there will be more as time goes on”
Video not available. No problem, didnt want to hear the vomit falling out of his mouth anyway!
The other two video choices are working fine.
Done now. IMHO, the Jake Crapper look-alike just spit out a worthless bunch of words. Waste of time. Awful.
They figure if we can’t do anything about open borders, there’s nothing we can do about Afghanistan. Old news in a week, celebration on 9/11.
No resignations, not terminations.
Laughing in our faces.
One thing and one thing only can prevent this episode from slipping down the memory hole. If Biden failed to rescue the military dogs, then all Hell will break loose. He is finished
His two cents worth of crapola are worth less than a penny in today’s value.
I wanted to spit on him.
And I have never spit on anyone.
Earth is an insane asylum, to which the other planets deport their lunatics.

Can anyone believe this BS. He takes no questions after selling the US out to the Taliban. ??????
Small potatoes compared to selling the US out to China.
Good luck to Taiwan. They are going to need all of it they can get.
Sundance will be pleased to note they set up operations to deal with Afghanistan at Muslim Brotherhood HQ.
Blinken is scared shite-less.
It sounds like they worked harder than they ever had before in their lives – ala bill clinton.
When is he getting his multi million dollar book deal and a high paying job with fake news?
If he steps down, give him a few months and he will pop back up in one the law firms in DC working for the swamp doing more of the same.
These crooks never leave, leave. They rotate around but are always running the show.
Anyone paying attention knows that.
I’m lookin’ and listenin’ to the United States Secretary Of State, and the only thing I can think of is: High School Physics Teacher.
The kids call him “Mr. B”… and he never gives homework on the weekends…
My heart hurts, my stomach churns, I’ve bounced between despair and rage so many times I’m emotionally and physically worn. This is not what I fought for ,or , what my brothers and sisters died for. I’m tired boss.
18 days ago? BiteMe said they started way back in July.
So how long before the names of the stranded begin to burble to the surface and someone starts a POW / MIA type organization to insure we NEVER FORGET ?
Keep this in their face. .. . because it’s the right thing to do.
I see so many people out there calling for these woke idiots to step down.
Well for what? It’s not like they go away. They will get $$$$$ millions $$$$ in book deal and a high paying job at one the swamp’s law firms in DC and eventually end up in one the agencies again. They don’t go away, ever.
Stepping down is symbolic.
Liars! First words out of his mouth, difficult operation. He failed to mention it was because of their feckless planning, strategy and ignorance! Second words out of his mouth was to praise the diplomats. What these fools don’t seem to understand – America has lost confidence in its institutions. That translates to loss of compliant attitudes. They have underestimated the American people once again. We are not all sheeple.
They have more sheeple than they need.
The first thing I want to teach is disloyalty [to institutions] till they get used to disusing that word loyalty [to institutions ] as representing a virtue. This will beget independence [and justice] –which is loyalty to one’s best self and principles [and country], and this is often disloyalty to the general idols [institutions] and [institutional] fetishes.
The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions (like the FBI, CIA, DOJ and DOD) are extraneous [or worse – dangerous], they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, [become criminal], cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death.
To be loyal to rags [institutions], to shout for rags [institutions], to worship rags [institutions], to die for rags [institutions] — this is loyalty to unreason, it is pure lower animal; it belongs to monarchy [which our Founding Fathers rebelled against, went to war against], was invented by monarchy; let monarchy keep it.

yet another pajama boy girly man who doesn’t have a clue about real life…
Something I cannot really understand. There has been so much talk about the need for strict vetting and how that has slowed things up a bit. I understand the need to vet people. But if you look at it from the Taliban , ISIS etc. point of view, if you wanted to get people into the USA to create mayhem wouldn’t it be easier to get people to Mexico and just get them walking in across the Southern Boarder. They are probably doing it already !!
So all the talk about vetting is almost a waste of time.
Mexico? Border? Of what doeth thou speak, patriot?
Yes I should have said river instead of border !!!
I saw pictures of the afghani “refugees” with their wives in full burka attire. That gives me all the vetting I need to know we are importing terrorists, who will raise terrorist children.
Unless it’s his resignation, I care not what he has to say.
OMG no. Not the doggos. I can’t take anymore.
This is really maddening.
At this point I want to scream in anger. I have walked around in circles all day. I pray for the lords help to not do what needs to be done to my Seeneters & congrasswomen in WYOMING crickets B-as tards F- them. God help there souls.
Taking a wider lens to this insanity…..
And yet…..
The Taliban may be our enemy, but they are not who I fear. The ChiComs are most certainly our enemy, but they are not the ones I fear the most. Russia? Please. They are Mexico with Nukes. Putin and company are an irritant and certainly to be watched at all times, but they pose less of a threat to the sovereignty and safety of the US than Mexico–which I would argue is WAY more of a threat to the US due to drugs running and illegal immigration.
So who is our enemy? Where are they? They are in New York, Silicon Valley and in DC. They are Democrats wherever there is a Democrat, and they are the RINOS in DC and in every state capital that is preventing true representatives of the people from being elected. They are the alphabet agencies, the Enemedia, Big Tech and Academia.
These are the enemies I fear the most.
.
Hundreds of Americans? But but but… we got out more than a hundred thousand other people who are not American anything but were lucky enough to just rush planes and push inside when doors were opened.
And an outrage I forgot to include, which certainly ranks among the most injurious to our republic, is the stolen election of 2020, its outrageous cover-up and gas lighting propaganda campaign, and its crimes-against-humanity criminal prosecution of PEACEFUL protesters whose only offense was caring too much about their country and election integrity.
I don’t have the stomach to watch any of the liars in this administration anymore. It’s sickening!
And now Gen. McKenzie Admits Americans Were Left, Praises the Taliban.
