Watch in full: Joe Biden speaks after US withdrawal from Afghanistan

Joe Biden has hailed the "extraordinary success" of the US evacuation in Afghanistan, saying it was "time to end this war".

The US president has been heavily criticised for his handling of the airlift, which saw more than 120,000 people successfully flown out of Kabul airport, but left between 100 and 200 Americans behind.

honestly can't believe this administration thinks this narrative is going to work. tone-deaf

[lobbers]

Notice how none of the celebrities who were rooting for him and encouraging people to vote for him have even mentioned what is going on. They should be ashamed of themselves!

[brick]

Does this man not realize how much blood is on his hands now?

[dogg]

not even 20 seconds in and he has begun to forget how to speak, and read.

"Due to the incredible skill, bravely, and selfless courage"

[awesomemike]

My jaw is dropped. What a coward to not sit and answer questions! 😡

[ramiroo]

Just started the video. Hope he mentions something about the 85 billion in equipment left as our kind parting gift to the taliban. This wasn’t a ending to a war. Its just a pause. Now that we’ve made our enemy stronger

[deansapp]

Just face the teleprompter to the camera, We can read just fine

[supermaticboy]

Why no one is protesting about what happened in Afghanistan? Even UN, Unicef, ICC, or etc.... Lol

[daviddurand]

If this is what "American Success" looks like then I would hate to see what "American Failure" looks like! Yikes!

[walter]

If this was a success, I hate to think what a failure is.

[mandies]

How in the heck did he reach out 19 times to the American people to leave when he doesn't even know through this whole thing how many Americans were there He's a liar

[heelmoxley]

The amount of sadness that fills our hearts seeing the scenes in Afghanistan, but nothing is sadder than this guy being in charge.

[Zeek]

He has no idea what the hell is going on.

[Zeek]

I made it 4 minutes in I had to stop. This is getting worse and worse.

[jaychung]

I feel like he kind of blames the dead servicemen and women (and afghan allies) for their own deaths. They knew the risks! How brave!

[luxy]

I always get such a headache trying to listen to his speech’s 😓

[DannySmith-lttz]

If he thinks that cluster-f of a withdrawal was something he'd prepared for I'd hate to see him manage an eventuality he hasn't prepared for

[baby_boi]

"No nation has ever done anything like it".... "the extraordinary wow.... absolutely DISGRACEFUL

[threshingfloor]

His only ability is to barely be able to read a tele prompt.

[walter]

We know what happened Joe. I was hoping this would be an apology.
