On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby stated that he doesn’t regret saying that he “didn’t see” chaos in Afghanistan from his “perch.” Because even though “there was chaos,” “the question was asking me just a blanket sort of bumper sticker adjective slapped onto the withdrawal,” and “it deeply offends me, as a veteran myself, that we’re just slapping that bumper sticker on the whole withdrawal and I think that does a disservice to all the brave men and women, civilian and military alike, who pulled that withdrawal off.”

Kirby needs to be Gitmo’d as a purveyor of malinformation.
Being a lib means never having to say you were wrong, and never having to say your sorry.
One look at a topographical map of the place and it was completely obvious to anyone - Kabul is ringed tightly by mountains, and once we gave up Bagram, anyone trying to hold Kabul would be f****ed
The incompetence of our DC overlords is mind-boggling.
John Kirby’s in luck - the bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ of the MSM will happily give him a pass...
I remember him as a young weasel Pentagon PR guy back in the Clinton days, just a Major if memory serves and ever a DS hack.
Would he regret it if he and Biden or Harris was one of those specks falling from that C-17?
I suspect he might regret it until he hit the ground.
John Kirby is a Domestic Enemy of the United States and his military record deserves the same consideration and respect that was given to General Benedict Arnold.
Can someone decode Kirby for me? I do speak commie.
Duh, I don’t speak commie.
A smoothie, slithery wordsmith democrat like Kirby could convince you to kill your own mother.
As of November 2023, there were 1,374,125 personnel on active duty. There are 849,450 reserve personnel and 18.2%, or 250,009, of the 1,374,125 force are officers.
Obama fired 197 generals.
The question Trump will face is how to get rid of a lot of high ranking officers in all 8 forces that are, in effect, DEI officers and most likely tend to decrease lethality rather than increase it.
These guys missed the tryouts for the Three Stooges reboot but at least made it in DC. Lots more state dinners and limo rides to fancy parties.
I had worked on the PW2040 engine program, each C17 gets 4, and I cried when I saw the takeoff with people falling. Whoever authorized the takeoff, the pilot, and the tower controller needed to be brought up on criminal charges. There was no firing on the runway, just scared civilians. Biden’s massacre.
