Family members of the 13 US service members killed in the chaotic August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan were underwhelmed Tuesday by President Biden’s brief tribute to their loved ones before the United Nations General Assembly.
Biden, 81, defended the fiasco as “a hard decision, but the right decision” during what was likely his final address to the global body.
“Thirteen brave Americans lost their lives, along with hundreds of Afghans in a suicide bomb. I think [of] those lost lives — I think [of] them every day,” the president said, stumbling over his prepared remarks.
Relatives of the fallen Americans were skeptical.
“He thinks of them only because they are the casualties of his reckless decisions and policies,” Gold Star dad Steve Nikoui told The Post in a text message. “When he says he thinks of them everyday, what he really means is he despises them because they, in his eyes, have tarnished his legacy.”
“That withdrawal, as well as the loss of lives, are the main reason why he is a one-term president,” added Nikoui, whose son Kareem, a Marine Corps lance corporal, was among those murdered by an ISIS-K suicide bomber at the Abbey Gate of Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport.
“He has no idea what he’s saying at this point. That speech was written by one of his staff and they are trying to cover Joe Biden for his involvement in the critical debacle of the withdrawal from Afghanistan,” Gold Star father Darin Hoover also told The Post in a text message.

Actually, he’s been clueless for some time. I’m surprised they didn’t have Jill give the address.
In all fairness, John Brennan should have to address the Gold Star families.

He’s going to have eternity to think about the things he’s has done.
He couldn’t point to Afghanistan on a map even when he had some faculties. Embarrassing putting this demented idiot for all the world to see. Eff democrats.
“… he thinks of them everyday …”
I think Biden is truly sorry for the loss of those lives.
“ I think Biden is truly sorry for the loss of those lives.”
You give him far, far too much credit.

You’d never know based on his words and actions. He’s a heartless megalomaniac who’s only goal is self enrichment.

(During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.)
Biden is in the cusp of being the forgotten president of our history. He has squandered 3.5 years of this country’s wealth and trust to be remembered as even a flea. I was right about all the past presidents since Nixon, I was still eating fudgecicles during LBJ.
Jill only takes the stage for good news, not bad.

All of his life Biden has been confused and lies continuously.
Biden’s entire staff are all second rate.
He thinks his son Beau died at Abby Gate, and feels sorry for his own loss every day.
Other American families…not so much.
( checks his watch…)

A third grader could have come up with a better evacuation plan than the deep state idiots in this feckless administration.
