Interesting.
I suspect it will be focused on a US audience and talking about how he's going to get their loved ones home and less about the mess that's being left behind.

I suspect he'll explain that he is an imbecile and not fit to run a bath let alone the USA.

He'll just say America couldn't be there forever, too many people lost lives, blah blah blah.
It can't be reversed now. They've screwed it all up. There is nothing he can say to justify or stop this failure of American foreign policy. He wanted to meet this pointless 9/11 deadline and here we go. Well done. That's gone really well.
Biden should be on the phone to his former boss to thank him for having killed Bin Laden because that's the only thing that has stopped this 20-year-effort from achieving literally nothing.

Re: Parliament to be recalled re: Taliban in Afghanistan
I reckon that was just a canned audience and no actual press were present.

He knows the press would have torn him to shreds over this.

Re: Parliament to be recalled re: Taliban in Afghanistan
Incredibly, his schedule shows he’s not staying in Washington DC either. He’s heading back to Camp David to finish his vacation.

Genuine question - would they really have done so?

Yes that's why he ran away from them.

24 hour news channel chasing that “TV moment” where they make an old guy who shouldn’t even be there slur his words? Almost certainly.
Accountability in American politics might even be less important than accountability here, such is the extent the population have been polarised. The Halliburton dividends reaping the rewards of war have long since been paid.

Re: Parliament to be recalled re: Taliban in Afghanistan
Upsetting to see people so desperate to leave that they tried to hang onto the outside of a plane before dropping to their deaths.
The future looks terrible for those deemed to have helped the USA & the USA, gay people & women in particular.
