Was President Biden's Thursday's Remarks On Afghanistan The Worst Speech Of His Presidency?*Peter Bergen, CNN*: *The worst speech of Biden's presidency* (CNN) On Thursday President Joe Biden spoke in defense of his ill-considered, hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, in remarks peopled with straw men and littered with false assertions. First, Biden contended that he was bound by a 2020 Trump administration agreement with the Taliban to withdraw all US troops by May 2021. But that was an agreement conducted by a previous administration -- so it's not binding -- and it was predicated on the Taliban breaking with al-Qaeda. They didn't, according to the UN in a report r... read more
