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 Generalissimo Milley can unleash some of his ‘white rage’ on them. More likely he will send some social apologists out to teach them the words to kumaya. /s

You can be sure the media will absolve biden of all blame when it happens, and heap the blame on the nearest Republican.

Maybe he should have done his job instead of sucking off Omoeba, teaching the troops to hate whitey, and requiring our armed forces to prance around in high heels and act like Monty Python’s Military Fairies.

So why are we bringing them here? If the US were serious about preventing terror attacks, we would never have allowed any of them to come here. As it is, we will be bringing in thousands more to join the FTA club - Future Terrorists of America.

Is that part of Biden’s plan or just a nice bonus he didn’t expect?

Silly Milly is a wokester who warned of the threat to the U.S. AFTER Afghanistan fell to the Taliban!

Question. Was that also before or AFTER he got his head out of his a$$???
