As detailed by the Daily Mail, US President Joe Biden told “six verifiable lies” in his “disastrous” one-on-one interview, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“Lie one: Biden said there was no way to leave Afghanistan without chaos ensuing, but six weeks ago he said a Taliban takeover was highly unlikely,” Ms Panahi said.
“Lie two: Biden said the Afghan army is 300,000 strong when the real number is 178,800.
“Lie three: Biden said the US doesn’t have a military presence in Syria, but 900 troops remain there.
“Lie four: Biden said he can’t recall military officials suggesting he keep the stable 2,500 troop presence in Afghanistan, though reports show Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley made exactly such a request.
“Lie five: Biden said the US has control of Kabul airport, though Taliban fighters have formed a wall around the airport and are controlling who goes in and out.
“Lie six: Biden said no one is being killed at Kabul airport, though the Taliban have killed at least 12.”
