Afghanistan fell to the Taliban much faster than President Joe Biden and his top military leaders predicted, a Sunday report from Axios reveals.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley told a bipartisan group of senators during a Sunday call that a past assessment of how soon the terrorist groups will reemerge in Afghanistan will drastically speed up due to the events over the last week.

On the call with Milley, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham asked if they will revise the assessment given to Congress in June that classified a 'medium' risk of terrorist group reconstituting within two years of withdrawal.

'Yes,' Milley responded about changing the threat assessment report, according to Axios.

He also said he would be more than willing to brief senators in a classified setting on the unfolding Afghanistan situation.

Maybe Obama can invite them to the next party

If the Joint Chiefs had any honor they would resign and apologize to the American people....

but they have none.

When is the next terror attack going to happen here on our soil… they know biden is weak. He will do nothing. Other nations are watching. They own him.

Dammit Millie-Vanillie! Why didn’t you get woke trainng to our troops fast! Why? Why? Why?

Funny how its phrased that it “fell much faster!” Tell you all you need to know. This was a planned failure!

[Billthedrill]

Yup, those White Supremacists in the Taliban are a pretty scary group all right. Maybe we could get them some Critical Race Theory training and they’d be all right.

[rktman]

Yeah, but them anti vaxxers are the REAL threat right thoroughly moderen millee? 😲😨

[livius]

Wow! I wonder what made him think that?

[no-to-illegals]

Between the tallybunnies and biden it’s difficult to know which is the enemy

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Eh, what? I thought it was white supremacists and MAGA people. Wish they'd make up their minds.

 

 

[LIConFem]

So, we're not #1 anymore?? *pout*.

[RummyChick]

I wish some Delta variant would start spreading among them and take a bunch of them out

Elections have consequences. Especially when you make the village idiot and town slut President and vice-President!

Duh maybe if general Millstone was doing his job instead of being a racist political activist out get conservative Americans he wouldn’t sound like the STUPID idiot he does today trying to play catch-up.

Pivoting from one lost to one they think they can win: against their own people. Milley, of course, along with Austin, will be running this war from the comfort of their comfortable thrones. Anything to keep our successive generations getting slaughtered for their entertainment and profit.

[rktman]

Good thing they’ve been fooly vaxxed. Oh, i meant fully. 💉😈

[dragnet2]

I’m not worried about religious fanatics and savages from the mid east, as I am about those homegrown Trump supporting terrorist waving American flags.
