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.

Of course, and that is what must be stopped if the US is serious about terrorism. Seems like those in power in the US have a different agenda.

I am SHOCKED and OUTRAGED that all of us WHITE, IGNORANT, RACIST, REDNECK, RELIGIOUS, CONSERVATIVE, BIBLE THUMPING, CONSTITUTION WAVING, GUN OWNING, INSURECTIONIST AMERICANS are no longer considered the greatest threat to America.

How dare this SWINE MILEY downgrade our threat in this manner, doesn’t he know WE ARE BAD?

Milley was wrong on “ white rage too - the guy's an idiot. If he had any honor he would resign.

‘Woke’ Gen. Mark Milley, in July:

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told reporters less than four weeks before the Taliban entered Kabul that the local military was fully capable of defending Afghanistan from the insurgent Islamic terrorist militia.

Afghanistan? That’s nothing. I understand there is a nun in a catholic school in Ness City Kansas telling her fourth grade students that masks don’t stop COVID infections. That’s far more serious, and needs to be stopped. We’re sending airborne troops there now.

The Regime will start working on the new Afghan terrorist threat after they neutralize the Trump, anti-vax, and white racist terrorist threats.

It has to do with 'priorities', you know.
