WNU Editor: The entire Senate hearing is above.
This was one long hearing where everyone was conducting the art of "covering your ass".
Generals Milley and McKenzie contradicting President Biden's claim that no one told him to keep a military presence in Afghanistan paints the President as a liar.
I am sure the White House was not amused in seeing that performance.
Tomorrow's hearings will be in the House of Representatives, and I expect a lot of fireworks in that forum when it starts in the morning.
Tucker Carlson's commentary on today's hearing is spot on (see video below).
I think Milley believes that the fatty booze bags under his eyes amount to some sort of gravity/gravitas.

Industrial Strength, full ass pussy power. Milley and Austin could clean up at a cat house.

ReplyDeleteThe agreement between the Trump administration and the Taliban was made on Feb. 29, 2020, according to documentation on the Department of State website. As part of the deal, the U.S. committed to withdrawing military forces from Afghanistan within 14 months of the announced agreement, which was May 2021.
The Trump administration praised the agreement in a press release on Feb. 29, 2020. That same day, Trump acknowledged the deal during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
“For years, they’ve been trying to do this, and today the United States signed a deal with the Taliban so that we can hopefully begin the immediate process of finally bringing our troops back home,” Trump said.
The Obama administration had expressed a desire to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan but it didn’t happen.
A June 2021 report from the Congressional Research Service said as part of the Trump administration’s deal to withdraw American troops, “the Taliban committed to preventing other groups, including Al Qaeda, from using Afghan soil to recruit, train, or fundraise toward activities that threaten the United States or its allies.”
While the Trump administration made the agreement with the Taliban, the Biden administration made the decision to move ahead with fully withdrawing troops.
On April 14, 2021, Biden announced that remaining American troops, estimated to be about 2,500, would begin withdrawing from Afghanistan on May 1. At the time, Biden said the full withdrawal process would be completed by Sept. 11, which marks 20 years after the al-Qaeda attack that led to the U.S. invasion of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
The June report by the Congressional Research Service noted concerns that the Taliban may not be following through with its commitments -- and the threat that could pose.
“U.S. officials contend that the Taliban have not fulfilled their commitments, as violence between the Taliban and Afghan government has increased and Taliban links with Al Qaeda remain in place, according to United Nations sanctions monitors,” the report said.
In his Aug. 16 speech, Biden said the unfolding of the Afghanistan government occurred faster than he anticipated. He said he still plans to have a full withdrawal of American soldiers once U.S. personnel and allies are safe.
Who was President during implantation?
DeleteWho was President when the aid worker were misindentified as Isis-K and killed by a drone?
DeleteLt Colonel Schiller probably shouldn't have broadcast we he did but the military's reaction by making him see a psychopathagist and putting him in the brig is very excessive and very worrisome for our future.
ReplyDeleteThey're looking for something to charge him with.
