Biden on protecting Afghan girls | Eastern North Carolina Now

Lawenforcementtoday.com has the following:

"According to reports, a 2010 exchange between then-Vice President Joe Biden and President Obama’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, revealed that Biden said, “Fuck that” when questioned about America’s obligations to help protect girls in Afghanistan.

Back in March, Atlantic reporter George Packer shared a report where he cited the journal of Richard Holbrooke, where Holbrooke had asked then-Vice President Biden weather America had any obligations to help young girls who could fall victim to subjugation in the event that Afghanistan reverted to the days of Taliban control.

Biden’s response at the time was quite crude and seemingly devoid of emotion, cavalierly saying, “Fuck that” and justifying the take by referencing the United States’ withdrawal from Southeast Asia in 1973:

“Fuck that, we don’t have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.”

While those comments were made in 2010, it’s apparent that now-President Biden’s attitude hasn’t shifted from that crude statement years ago.

When defending the harsh criticism he’s received over the past few days following the overthrow of the Afghanistan government and restored power to the Taliban, President Biden made a similar reference to Vietnam as he did in 2010 about the rationale to exit the country:

“Our leaders did that in Vietnam when I got here as (a) young man. I will not do it in Afghanistan. I know my decision will be criticized but I would rather take all that criticism than pass this decision on to another president.”
