As Twitchy reported earlier, the White House tweeted a photo of President Biden on a video conference call that interrupted his vacation at Camp David, which is expected to last until next Wednesday. He must have realized how bad it must have looked to slip back to Delaware on Thursday with nothing going on but the collapse of Afghanistan.
Ironically, it takes troops to withdraw troops, and Fox News is reporting that the White House has increased the number of troops to 5,000 to assist with the evacuation of Kabul, “up from the 1,000 troops already there and 3,000 announced Thursday.”
Biden also issued a stern warning to the Taliban.

Not for months, anyway.
So unexpected

That photo will never not be hilarious.

Hang on…..didn't he bring them all back? Now he's sending them in again. This will end up like Vietnam
— Steve Cooper (@SteveMiraverde) August 14, 2021
Stop saying that … he assured the media that there’s no comparison with Vietnam.
Stern warning? They're just there to help peple into the helicopters…
— UpsideArrow (@ArrowUpside) August 14, 2021
He also assured the media we wouldn’t be seeing airlifts like in Vietnam.
Stern warning to hardened extremists. Nice.

You know, because they care what he says.

Did that stern warning include a finger point?
— Jeff (@JeffNekuza) August 14, 2021
What the hell?
Did the Taliban misgender someone?

“Stern warning.” I’m cringing. Maybe the @cia should’ve been running withdrawal simulations instead of making “inclusive” commercials showing “woke” recruiters, we wouldn’t see such a disaster.

8 months in & @POTUS is holding true to form.
So far he's been wrong on every foreign policy decision he has made.
Someone should tell him that giving "stern warnings" to people who you ran from after two decades of mortal combat is kind of a self own.@WhiteHouse

Asked about the path forward in Afghanistan, President Biden said "it's going to be a rocky road."

In fairness to Biden he thought they were asking what flavor ice cream he was having after dinner.
