Biden vacations as Afghanistan, immigration crises accelerate
Deteriorating situation in Afghanistan leads the list of policy nightmares confronting a relaxing president
By Michael Lee , Tyler Olson

President Biden is heading to Camp David Friday afternoon from his residence is Wilmington, Delaware, continuing a vacation amid spiraling crises, including a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan that's been compared to the fall of Saigon.

American troops are en route to the country Friday in an attempt to help Americans there escape, even as the State Department downplays the situation, particularly regarding the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.

"We are reducing our civilian footprint to a core diplomatic presence. And what that means is that we are going to continue to have a diplomatic presence on the ground in Afghanistan. Our embassy remains open," State Department Spokesman Ned Price said on "Andrew Mitchell Reports" on MSNBC Friday.

But the situation appears to be far worse than the State Department is letting on, with provincial capitals falling to the Taliban one after another. When asked how soon Kabul could fall, a U.S. defense official told Fox News, "It could be tomorrow," then added, "or it could be a month."

LIVE UPDATES: TALIBAN GAIN MORE GROUND IN AFGHANISTAN AS THEY CLOSE IN ON KABUL

"This is all melting down in a short period of time," one U.S. military officer said of the situation in Afghanistan.

A former U.S. military official with years of combat time in Afghanistan was more blunt in his assessment.

"I would pull every American out of Afghanistan and then level the U.S. embassy," the former official said.

NPR reported Friday that U.S. Embassy staff in Kabul are getting ready to destroy important information and are packing up.

The Pentagon announced Thursday that the military is sending two Marine and one Army infantry battalion to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul in an effort to provide security for embassy personnel and other Americans trying to evacuate the country. That is about 3,000 troops.

The alert brigade from Fort Bragg - 4,000 strong - is leaving North Carolina to deploy to Kuwait in the coming days to be used as a reserve force if needed in Afghanistan should conditions deteriorate

The first of three battalions was on its way to Afghanistan as of Friday.

According to the White House pool, Biden was briefed on the Afghanistan situation Friday.

But Afghanistan isn't the only crisis the U.S. faces during the president's summer break. It was also revealed Thursday that more than 212,000 people were encountered crossing the border in July. That number is a 13% increase over June and represented a two-decade high, dampening White House hopes that the summer heat would cause migrants to rethink the dangerous trek.

US MILITARY TO HELP EVACUATE AMERICANS FROM EMBASSY IN KABUL: OFFICIALS

"A couple of days ago I was down in Mexico, and I said look, you know, if, if our borders are the first line of defense, we're going to lose and this is unsustainable," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Thursday, according to the audio obtained by Fox News' Bill Melugin through a Border Patrol source. "We can't continue like this, our people in the field cant continue and our system isn't built for it."

The situation at the border has only been worsened by the highly contagious delta variant, with reports of thousands of COVID-19 positive migrants packing detention facilities before they are released into the country.

The delta variant has resulted in a renewed surge in COVID-19 cases across the country, particularly in southern states such Arkansas and Mississippi that have recorded new highs in hospitalizations.

Additionally, Biden is away from Washington just as intraparty squabbles appear to be putting two of his most important economic agenda items in danger.

House progressives earlier this week promised not to vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill until the Senate produces a budget reconciliation bill. But House moderate Democrats Friday said that they won't vote vote for the budget resolution - which needs to pass before the Senate can consider a reconciliation bill - until the infrastructure bill is law.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Friday the administration is not taking sides in that argument. And Biden, according to the White House pool, also consulted with his legislative affairs team regarding his economic agenda in the House.

Meanwhile, a key inflation measure surprised economists by hitting yet another record high, with producer price inflation rising 7.8% over the 12 month period ending in July. That number was the highest recorded in the over ten-year history of the metric, raising fears inflation could stick around longer than some predict.

In total, the president plans to spend about two weeks away from Washington.

Because getting us out of that quagmire is the right thing to do.

T'rump kicked the can down the road. Biden picked it up and put it in the trash.

You liked when BinLaden did that over here also.

Got it!

Sure, you want to hang out in "The Graveyard of Empires" ad infinitum?

For 20 years we gave the Afghans the money, the equipment, the manpower and the expertise to make their own way. It sounds like you want to coddle them forever.

Obama got Bin Laden. That's why we were there. When that objective was completed is when we should have pulled stakes and withdrew.

Let's not forget that Darth Cheney, Wolfie, and Rummy told the US that it would be around an 18 month engagement that would cost about 60-somthing billion dollars.

Yeah, that is how we ended up there for 20 years throwing trillions of dollars away , and ruining countless lives.

Thats a bald faced lie!

We were there before Obama/BinLaden and after Obama/binLaden!

We've been there since 2001 and the World Trade Center Terrorist Attack.

It started with the very first days of the George Bush presidency.

LIAR!

"Back in 2001, the US was responding to the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, in which nearly 3,000 people were killed. Officials identified Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, and its leader Osama Bin Laden, as responsible.

Bin Laden was in Afghanistan, under the protection of the Taliban, the Islamists who had been in power since 1996.

When they refused to hand him over, the US intervened militarily, quickly removing the Taliban and vowing to support democracy and eliminate the terrorist threat."

Reading comprehension, turdbag.

This is what I wrote:

The Conservitards/NeoCons demanded that we attack Iraq following 9/11 and not "The Base", aka Al Quida in Afghanistan and the Conservitards couldn't rein in Pakistan and time was wasted.


It was Obama who finally tracked down Osama Bin Laden and avenged him for 9/11.

Look, turdbucket, I stand by my statement:

When Obama tagged Osama Bin Laden out, that's when the US should have withdrawn from Afghanistan.

Mission: Accomplished.

Edit to add:

President Obama didn't need the theater of cosplaying as a Naval Aviator when Bin Laden went down, either...

Sooooo ...you're admitting this statement is a flat out bald faced lie.

GOOD....AS IT IS!

Ok. Just to be clear:

The USA should have pursued OBL into Afghanistan as a #1 priority following the attacks of 9/11.

The pursuit of Saddam Hussein was a ridiculous field trip to avenge Bush & Bush.

And, the ensuing field trip to Iraq took the eyes from the prize and resulted in more quagmire.

When Obama was able to do something that no one else was able to do: enter Pakistan and get operatives and intelligence and eyeball OBL. There was no hesitation.

That is when the drawdown should have occurred.
