'The buck stops with me,' says Biden but then proceeds to blame Afghan fiasco on Trump and locaIs who failed to fight the Taliban - before ducking questions and fleeing for Camp David
Daily Mail UK ^ | Augustb 16,2021 | By ROB CRILLY, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER and NIKKI SCHWAB
President Joe Biden cut his trip to Camp David short and returned to the
White House Monday to deliver remarks on Afghanistan
He defended his decision to bring home U.S. troops despite the Taliban's rapid capture of Kabul
But he admitted that the rapid collapse unfolded much faster than anyone expected
'So what's happened? Afghanistan's political leaders gave up and fled the country,' he said
But critics said it was not the decision to leave, but the manner of the abrupt departure that caused chaos
Biden was originally supposed to stay at Camp David until Wednesday as part of an August vacation
The trip triggered criticism that the commander was out of sight as
Afghanistan crumbled into chaos
He returned to the presidential retreat immediately after delivering his speech
It was the first time the president had spoken publicly about the unfolding crisis in six days. He was forced to return from Camp David amid hostile headlines about his absence from Washington while Americans were being rescued from Kabul airport.
He admitted missteps during the past two decades and described the chaos at Kabul airport, where throngs of Afghans are desperately seeking escape, as 'gut wrenching.'
'I am president of the United States of America,' he said. 'And the buck stops with me.'
But only up to a point. He said the blame for such a rapid disintegration lay not with him, but his predecessor as president and Afghanistan's leaders.
'The truth is - this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated,' he said, his eyes narrow.
'So what's happened? Afghanistan's political leaders gave up and fled the country.
'The Afghan military collapsed, sometimes without trying to fight.'

Biden blames Trump, who would have thunk.
But, but, Gary said that Biden did what?
Clowns to the left of me.
Nuff Said
How come there isn't a quote of him blaming Trump? They used quotes for everything else he said.
