Live: Milley, Austin, McKenzie testify before Senate committee on Afghanistan exit
I know, I’m trying not to listen. I think we lose brain cells every minute she talks.
Overly optimistic view of administration of conditions on the ground. And this com I ng from Fem. The poll number must be tanking for them to ask questions like that.
Did Miller’s recommendations get to presidents Trump and Biden? That’s the Second time they asked about Miller. It sounds like they know something...like maybe Miller’s recommendations did not reach Biden or Trump.
Austin does not instill confidence. He is way over his head.
Another Dem pissed that State Dept. and Defense do not have the number of Americans still in Afghanistan. Personally think it is for show.
Milley answered this in his opening statement.
HE DID NOTHING WRONG!
Now move along!
It is, notice how he immediately switched to praise for Biden ending the war.
I especially loved his answer as to why he didn’t resign.
Yep, the very POLITICAL Milley wouldn’t resign because that would be political.
For everyone who blamed the disaster of a withdrawal on President Trump, here’s General Milley admitting that the Taliban "failed to fully honor" Trump's Afghanistan agreement.

Sec Def Austin claimed mission accomplished in Afghanistan for 5 minutes before listing some of the abject failures of the withdrawal:
- 13 American heroes killed
- 10 Afghan civilians killed in a botched drone strike
- Afghans clinging to evacuation planes
- Americans trapped.. pic.twitter.com/8qtM6n0NTV— Benny (@bennyjohnson) September 28, 2021
Good find!
Ernst up....talking about new threats because of actions taken by this administrations.... No conditions on Taliban after Biden made decision to get out....Actions are conditioned based..but no diplomatic or military. Unconditional withdraw. Oh sh*t, unconditional surrender...
They didn’t invite Miller because they don’t want anyone to hear what he has to say, which is a pretty good sign that we need to hear his account of everything that happened. https://t.co/cVmBu5HcZV— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) September 28, 2021
Senator imhofe had a powerful opening statement, and read it like he was reading from the phone book
BLAME TRUMP!!!
Thank you Angus King, how come it took this long into the hearing to start this?
Are the dims slipping?
General Milley & Secretary Austin admit Biden waited 10 days after Kabul fell to ask for an assessment on the August 31st deadline.

Agreed, he sounded like he was a third grade reader. Absolutely totally monotone.
This was not a treaty. Biden did not have to follow Trumps plans.
Miller name up again. They need to call him in. There guys aren’t telling the whole story.
