Actually, McKenzie is a major screw-up and he’s been in the briefings before.

“Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby and Army Maj. Gen. William D. “Hank” Taylor, Joint Staff deputy director for regional operations, brief the media at the Pentagon. “

They are late. Wouldn’t have expected that. Maybe they don’t want to make the CIC look bad.

5 rockets, 3 off airfield, 1 intercepted no danger to personnel.

Is mil upset that Americans remain, are they ones who chose not to leave, concentrating on mil evac only? Throwing up numbers, have capability, kicked it to State for those who remain

We can continue to defend ourselves.

Q: Getting notices that evac is over ... what happens next?

A: Sec Blinken and State will continue to work to facilitate transportation. Do not anticipate a military role.
