(CNN)Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said Sunday in a briefing for Senators that terrorist groups like al Qaeda could reconstitute in Afghanistan sooner than the two years defense officials had previously estimated to Congress because of the recent, rapid Taliban takeover of the country, according to a Senate aide briefed on the comments.

The situation could result in a greater counterterrorism threat, he acknowledged.

Senators were also told there are as many as 60,000 people who could potentially qualify as Special Immigrant Visa holders or applicants, P1 and P2 visa holders, or others like human rights defenders and could need evacuation, two Senate aides said. The White House did not return a request for comment on those numbers.

Never let a planned crisis go to waste. Be vigilant in your coming days: This is a setup to trade your freedoms for security. We'll have neither.

Quite honestly, the entire woke Joint Chiefs should be fired. Now. Biden and Camel Toe should resign in disgrace.

Gosh, what does he call those people that are rushing to enter Kabul? Boy scouts?

Why does Milley still have a job?

[Lurker]

This useless idiot should be stripped of all rank and Court Martialed for incompetence.

Milley hasn’t been around long, but he’s rapidly rising in the charts as a true deep-state political whore

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Anyone that survives long enough to get on a plane bound to the USA with a special visa are terrorists . . . they are the only ones that will be allowed to live.

You don’t say!

This should cost several generals their stars.

Well, he is an astute student of history. After all, he explained about the 3/4 compromise and how that meant black people were only 3/4 of a person in the antebellum south. Also he said it was that way in the pre-civil war south.

I have to be honest. I had never even heard of the 3/4 compromise. The only one I ever heard of was a 3/5ths compromise designed to weaken slaveholding states.

Milley is smart. /s

[snarkytart]

they’re too busy looking for Trump supporters and pushing the queer agenda

[Georgia Girl 2]

What could be more terrorizing than the US gov’t?

[lgjhn23]

Miller should know since he is a “terrorist”... to freedom-loving Americans.
The “woke joke” should be run out of town on a rail.

[rktman]

Did he not mention the bigger threat here at home? Pudboyz, doodlebug gang, cattlethieven coalition, q-anon amalgamation........

[sijay]

Which member of the joint chiefs said that climate change was the military’s biggest concern?

[JennysCool]

I have an idea. If you “expect” “terror groups” to “reconstitute sooner than expected,” Why don’t you “do something about it before they do?”

[NormsRevenge]

The ‘Milley’ Vanilly of the military.. The epitome of the Peter Principle in action.

[Lumper20]

Yes our Gens are trash.

[Organic Panic]

“Austere religious scholars”

THIS JUST IN-———The Compost is now assigning multiple journalists to write hit pieces on Biden. Seems commies are ready to dump Biden... I’m guessing ‘gone before Christmas’........ h/t gopj

[Mr Ramsbotham]

This is why he’s a top general, and you’re only a civilian nothing. A firm grasp of the obvious.
