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.

I’m sure these Afghan terror groups will be added to the terror list...and plugged in just under those vicious PTA mom’s ranting about CRT at local school board meetings.
This feels like a turning point in history. Like the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. This shows America is incredibly weak, led by politics and not military, and a power vacuum is going to overtake that region of Asia which will see us out of any meaningful political discussions for likely 25 years or more.
Some of them should even be court-martialed.
Gee, General Milley, I thought you said it was “ white rage “.
“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.”
Perfect analogy.
Milley is quickly becoming the worst, most smarmy, ideological front-man for the deep state we have seen yet.
The Biden administration is a complete fustercluck.
But hey, ANTIFA and BLM think he's dreamy so it's all good.
Sounds like the woke general just got a wake up call.
I wonder if the Taliban decides to fly to Mexico and sent its “Army” across the Rio Grande on its way to DC to seize it whether or not Biden will defend the border? Or if he’ll merely give them plane tickets from Texas to DC?
Yeah, Milley only wants to talk to DC 'elites'... the 'club members' of corrupt jerks running DC and an incompetent military.
Guess the American people - who pay for all this shit - are NOT invited to the party. It's time to defund DC...
I thought Homeland Security has told us that the real terrorists were Christians who refuse to mask in church or surrender their bodies to the Pharmaceutical Gods by taking the Abortion vaccines.
Does anyone know what the deal is with Biden’s eyes.
They look black in a lot of the pics and videos I have seen. Plus with his plastic surgery he almost looks like one of those reptile people that some people believe in.
He just looks so off these days
Just in time for 9/11 20th anniversary.
Milley the Woke is a predictable failure.
YESTERDAY!!!
To paraphrase Rush’s old theme song, “Hey, ho, way to go Joe Biden.”
Can’t we just send Covid tainted snacks and goodies to the Taliban?
We’ve given them everything else?
YOU are a visionary.
