If President Donald Trump were Impeached for a phone call For allegedly pressing Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on this matter, Joe Biden should be reprimanded for the phone call regarding Afghanistan.
In a telephone conversation lasting 14 minutes, Biden confessed to Ashraf Ghani, the Afghan President, that “things were not going well in the fight against Taliban.”
“I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” Biden stated.
Even worse, Biden encouraged the Afghan President to lie in order to “project a different picture.”
Biden stated, “There is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.”
Reuters obtained the July 23rd phone call.
Biden was worried about the Taliban’s power at a time before the deaths of 13 U.S. military personnel and before the U.S. completed its withdrawal.
Biden offered assistance if Ghani would agree to these terms.
Biden would be able to provide assistance if Ghani could show the world that he has a plan for controlling Afghanistan’s spiraling crisis.
“We will continue to provide close air support, if we know what the plan is,” Biden stated.
“Days before the call, the U.S. carried out air strikes to support Afghan security forces, a move the Taliban said was in violation of the Doha peace agreement,” Townhall reports.
Biden stated that he would continue to provide close air support if he knew the plan.
Reuters reported that Biden stated to put a “warrior” in charge of the effort, which referenced Defense Minister General Bismillah Khan Mohammadi.
Ghani replied, “[Y]our assurance of support goes a very long way to enable us, to really mobilize us in earnest.”
Ghani fled the country when the Taliban fighters invaded Kabul. Ghani claimed to have nearly $170 million. However, he denies this.
Biden deceived the American people in the end. Biden claimed that no one from the intelligence community had warned him about the Taliban’s potential takeover during an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Aug. 18th.
“Not this quickly. Biden stated that it was not even close. Biden lies about a State Department cable warning of a Taliban takeover, according to the Wall Street Journal.
More Taken From Townhall:
At the time of the call, “Taliban insurgents controlled about half of Afghanistan’s district centers, indicating a rapidly deteriorating security situation,” according to Reuters.
In a separate call later that day between top U.S. military officials and Ghani, Gen. Mark Milley also pushed the point about changing the perception.
Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Ghani “the perception in the United States, in Europe and the media sort of thing is a narrative of Taliban momentum, and a narrative of Taliban victory. And we need to collectively demonstrate and try to turn that perception, that narrative around.” (Reuters)
Publicly, Biden was projecting confidence about the situation in Afghanistan, insisting that the fall of the government and a Taliban takeover of the country was “highly unlikely” because “the Afghan troops have 300,000 well-equipped — as well-equipped as any army in the world — and an air force against something like 75,000 Taliban.”
Uh oh. It sounds like Mr. Biden had the opposite of a perfect phone call with former Afghan President Ghani.
