What an Impeachable Phone Call Sounds Like

Reuters has a bombshell report about a July phone call between Joe Biden and then-Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani, in which the US president promises military aid in return for lies.

The “perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things aren’t going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” says Biden in the July 23 call. “And there’s a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.”

Whether it is true or not....

“I don’t know whether you’re aware,” said Biden, “just how much the perception around the world is that this is looking like a losing proposition . . . so the conclusion I’m asking you to consider is to bring together everyone from [ex-Afghan Vice President Abdul Rashid] Dostum, to [ex-President Hamid] Karzai and in between. If they stand there and say they back the strategy you put together, and put a warrior in charge, you know a military man . . . in charge of executing that strategy, and that will change perception.”

Ghani tried to explain that the situation was dire: “Mr. President, we are facing a full-scale invasion, composed of Taliban, full Pakistani planning and logistical support, and at least 10-15,000 international terrorists.”

He begged for US air support. “What is crucial is, close air support . . . a very heavy reliance on air power.”

The Afghan army was based on the US model, which relies on air support for enemy strikes, ferrying the wounded, and so on. But the contractors who serviced Afghan aircraft had left, leaving the Afghan army exposed.

Biden offered conditional air support, in return for Ghani going along with his ruse, but only until his Aug. 31 deadline. After that, “who knows?”

Some will say that Trump must have been in the room with a gun pointed at Biden's head, forcing him to say those words. That in not confirmed yet but the media is searching for the evidence.

I'm sure all the people who are now stranded in a terrorist nightmare are comforted by Biden's attempt to sugar coat reality.

"Some will say that Trump must have been in the room with a gun pointed at Biden's head, forcing him to say those words. That is not confirmed yet but the media is searching for the evidence." Rick

A corollary to your statement. During the Presidential debates, the media did not allow questions on foreign policy.
I wonder why?

True, they didn't ask many questions at all because he was hiding in his basement.

Does anyone remember way back in 2019 when "circle back" Psaki said this about Trump's phone call that was supposedly impeachable evidence? Her Tweet:

It is not just the call transcript. The whistleblower complaint would likely have more details. We need both. And not just the call.

Now this lying nitwit doesn't want to talk about Biden's call with Ghani.

Sad to see the administration preferring to lie to the American republic rather than prepare the nation for what they knew was going to happen.
