The FUBAR in Afghanistan is so large in scope and failure, the Pentagon appears to be throwing the White House under the bus; and they are being considerably obtuse while doing it…. or are they?
If these reports from Daily Mail and Wall Street Journal are accurate, the Pentagon is claiming that Joint Chief’s Chairman General Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Joe Biden about the pending collapse of Afghanistan if 2,500 troops were removed. However, both Milley and Austin are on record only a few weeks before the collapse saying exactly the opposite.
(Via Wall Street Journal) – In his Monday speech defending America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, President Biden said he would not shrink from his share of responsibility.
That would include his decision to bring home U.S. troops, which was made against the recommendations of his top military generals and many diplomats, who warned that a hasty withdrawal would undermine security in Afghanistan, several administration and defense officials said.
The president’s top generals, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley, urged Mr. Biden to keep a force of about 2,500 troops, the size he inherited, while seeking a peace agreement between warring Afghan factions, to help maintain stability. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who previously served as a military commander in the region, said a full withdrawal wouldn’t provide any insurance against instability.
In a series of meetings leading up to his decision, military and intelligence officials told Mr. Biden that security was deteriorating in Afghanistan, and they expressed concerns both about the capabilities of the Afghan military and the Taliban’s likely ability to take over major Afghan cities.
Other advisers, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, raised the possibility of Taliban attacks on U.S. forces and diplomats as well as the Afghans who for two decades worked alongside them. (read more)
I’m not here to defend Joe Biden, not even close; I believe the man is inept, functionally and cognitively out of touch, and completely illegitimate. However, there’s more in the background context for these (and similar) articles.
The DC “conservative” media appear to be framing these articles to give the illusion of current conflict between the White House and the Pentagon, by conflating statements made long ago (before Biden made the withdrawal announcement in April), with recent positions. The actual statements of Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin to congress only a few weeks ago run directly counter to the claims in the articles. I would advise people not to take these articles by DC media at face value…. they too have an agenda.
Here are Milley and Austin speaking specifically to the situation in Afghanistan shortly before the crisis unfolded. {4 minutes, prompted}
.
Secretary Austin and General Milley did not hold the position that collapse of the Afghanistan government was likely, and did not claim that troops would be needed, and did not claim that Bagram AFB should be kept open. Their position, as demonstrably evident, was exactly the opposite.
So why is the Wall Street Journal trying to defend the Pentagon from the mess they created, and also throw Biden under the bus?
Joe Biden, General Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Austin are all equally to blame.
The Wall Street Journal appears to be defending the military industrial complex, by separating Biden from Milley and Austin.
Perhaps the DC media are counting on readers not doing their own research and not knowing the full background.
Sketchy.
President Trump tapped the brakes and listened to his generals, but the mentality of the pseudo-intellectual progressives who are running the Biden regime do not believe military experts need to be listened to….after all, they’re “progressives” and intellectually superior to everyone else (so they think).
Just like when 0bama blew off the advice of General Flynn and others when he precipitously bugged-out of Iraq effectively rolling out the red carpet for ISIS.
Like Rush used to say:
”When leftists are out of power, they’re funny….when they get power, they’re dangerous”
Joe is expendable. Time for the Cackler in Chief to take over. President Harris.
Harris has been missing for days. Social (political) distancing.
botox injections & teeth whitening treatments
Harris is a drug addict., in my opinion. And, apparently, a long term one. Her distancing, is an effort to hide from the stress and responsibility.
The Democrats were set up by Trump ……………. and they took the bait, hook, line and sinker ………….. especially the sinker.
I quit the WSJ more than four years ago. Much of their editorial pontificating could have just as easily appeared in the NYT. There was a WSJ internal political shift to the left that I just didn’t need to read. Good financial and investment news can be had in many places. Online quotes and research are free………. An Ameritrade account, just for instance, gives instance access to detailed information on stocks, bonds, etfs and mutual funds. Instantaneous and easy to use. No leftist political BS. The hell with the WSJ.
Many of us figured this out at least a decade or so ago.
Believe it or not, you can say the same thing about National Geographic. After being a member for decades, I just couldn’t take it anymore and dropped them.
Me too on NG. And my dad, life long WSJ reader is out there just recently.
Ditto Scientific American
Ditto the Chicago Tribune.
When this “conservative” rag endorsed the odious Communist Obama way back in 2008, I called them up and said “please come and retrieve your blue bag of sh-t from the end of my driveway”.
My uncle collected every single damn issue since Natl Geographic first entered circulation. Loved it. And stopped about 10 years ago at about the age of 80. Couldn’t take the finally over-the-top freaky unscientific B.S. political stance of its editors.
I canceled by subscription about the same time. Global warming agenda became to much.
Yet another mag I used to so enjoy. Stick to what you are about – in this case Geography!!
You need to try and keep up…..
I cancelled my subscription this year after several years, for the reason you site as well as a general plan to cut all unnecessary costs from my budget in Joebama’s “economy”.
Did they ever make it difficult to do so though – I was down to just simply repeating “cancel my account” for about the tenth time before it finally sunk in that no amount of spiel was going to keep me on board.
The WSJ was my commuter paper to read. I cancelled a 15+yr subscription 2015 when the initial smearing of Donald Trump was printed. Prior to that point I was getting fed up with the love fest with GW and his Bushites.
Still to come. Videos of friends and relatives of those trapped behind enemy lines pleading for their release.
No one will see it those videos. The news media will ignore them, Big Tech will censor it claiming it’s all misinformation.
GETTR
I think we will see these videos. I think the intent of the purposeful botched withdrawal was to humiliate the U.S., its citizens and military, to have the U.S. import thousands of Afghan muslim refugees and to obfuscate the election theft and audit results.
And most certainly take the election fraud out of the news. The timing is quite suspicious – and is something Trump supporters expected. Next is Joementia resigning or worst as he has used up his usefulness.
The Afghani Hostage Crisis.
Day #…..?
I think we will see such videos, and worse, if the goal is to remove dementia Joe, put the puppet Kamala in while Pelosi gets herself positioned to finally get to sit in the Oval.
The Administrative State is now self aware, and intends to keep its power to itself, and using compassion has worked so far in sidelining reasonable consideration, after all look what a few press conferences to convince people to ‘save grandma’ got an entire planet to mask up,
misplaced compassion is the inroad to compliance, no one wants to kill grandma. No one wants to see women beheaded for not wearing a burqa, so the compassionate outcry will be music to the ears of the neocons and their generals will use demented Joe as their kickplate if need be.
Seneca the Elder already posted pics from the Daily Mail, on the Presidential Thread. I looked. I shouldn’t have.
can you please post the link?
Prisoners at GTMO are packing their bags today to go home in exchange for US hostages.
They’ll be all over alternative social media, like Telegram. You won’t see them ANYWHERE else.
The agenda was to fubar the withdraw, regardless of lives lost, then use it as the reason to remove Biden and install Willie Browns mattress.
Bingo.
My Spanish speaking friends refer to her as Que Mala (Very Bad).
A play on her name
Perfect!
AND go back in in a big way
VP Hillary
Yup, lives lost are meaningless to these evil, ruthless people.
Witness the amount of lives lost “fighting covid” that could have been saved with simple, cheap drugs in many, many cases, along with having ethical Governors not hell bent on killing off loads of seniors.
They should wipe Soros’s sme gma from their faces before addressing the cameras.
Spot on, Sundance!
Something ain’t right about the “dissension” in the PC-Prog camp. It’s likely that the parallel neocon responses, echoing the “internal criticism” are the clues. Not sure what’s going on, but be aware. It’s likely to be a rhetorical trap. Bottom line: no matter who was in the White House, American withdrawal would be chaotic and horrible to see. But it had to happen–there has been no reason (other than girls’ schools, two cups of tea) for wasting one American life, or one American dollar in Afghanistan since 2002.
In the meantime, it’s probably wise not to place hope in the apparent disagreements among PC-Progs.
Might want to watch out for one interesting talking head noted on CTH lately. Matt Zeller, has been showing up to criticize Biden’s handler’s handling of the pull-out.
Might wanna temper enthusiasm for Zeller.
He’s a fellow at the American Security Project–a deep state nest of vipers.
https://www.americansecurityproject.org/about/board-of-directors/
Also, note the vile John Brennan lurking in the background of that MSNBC interview with Zeller.
He was a Democrat candidate for Congress in upstate NY. His 2010 political platform was described as: “Zeller is a former Republican who supported the first Presidential campaign of John McCain in 2000. He describes himself as pro-choice and believes that abortions should be safe, legal, and rare…. Environmentally, he opposes drilling in the Marcellus Formation. He also favored repealing don’t ask, don’t tell. He is supportive of the current operations in Afghanistan….”
https://web.archive.org/web/20110710210348/https://www.eveningtribune.com/news/x2084234606/With-his-hat-in-the-ring-Zeller-showing-the-man-under-the-brim
So, he claims to have:
2004–Graduated from Hamilton College with a BA
2005–Graduated first in his class from the Army’s Military Intelligence Officer’s basic course
2006–Graduated with 2 Masters degrees from Syracuse U.
2008–April to Dec. served as an advisor in Ghazni,where he served as his unit’s “intelligence officer, operations officer, air logistics officer, handling all human assistance missions, and helping with the million-dollar budget.”
Jan. (?) 2009 to April 2010–“…joined the CIA within a matter of weeks of returning to the U.S., residing in the Washington, D.C. area….. Zeller officially threw his hat into the race for the vacant 29th Congressional District seat towards the end of April.”
2010–Lost election
2010 to 2021–Consultant on alternative energy issues, working in northern Virginia;
Fellow, Truman National Security Project; Adjunct Fellow, American Security Project; CEO of an NGO advocating for Afghan Interpreters Special Visa program; Wrote book about his months in Afghanistan.
He was somebody’s chosen pony.
Bottom line–a deep state, PC-Prog, did a stint as an Army officer for 2-4 years including 8 months in Afghanistan; maybe did 15-18 months as a CIA analyst (that’s not even enough to finish training, much less get a feel for what’s going on there, or learn anything of substance). A political striver connected in the deep state, PC-Prog environment.
So, possibly the only interesting note from his commentary is the likelihood that his handlers in the deep state see value in criticizing Biden’s handlers for the collapse in Afghanistan.
“However, both Milley and Austin are on record only a few weeks before the collapse saying exactly the opposite.”
That’s the same publicly presented lie they’ve been telling the public for 20 years versus the truth they were very likely telling Xiden and other pols in private. He and his cabinet of ‘experts’ simply ignored them and others not in the top military chain of command claiming the same thing.
Hell, the various publicly released studies and even 60 Minutes segments clearly showed that any optimism that the NON-nation, “bordered area” labelled “Afghanistan” would EVER be able to avoid a return to what it was before we entered 20 years was unjustified. It’s rated as the 15th most corrupt country in the world.
Xiden is simply the intended fall-guy for what was going to eventually happen anyway, it was just his totally incompetent execution of it “designed” by his “adults now in the room foreign relations experts” that led to what actually happened.
Then they should be charged with lying to congress. Any testimony to congress carries penalties same as government perjury whether sworn in or not. If they had told the truth, the political pressure more than likely would have forced biden to rethink his plans (or his puppet master’s plans).
They should, but won’t be. Congress wanted to hear the lie because that’s what their owners (NOT us) wanted US to hear.
Is this a back door “insurance policy”? Its got all the right players hidden in the background psyops.
Yes, it is. Military wants to reignite our fears and reinitiate the war on terror, in overdrive.
just little stepping stones along the flowery daisy path to initially an appointed ‘Michie’ Obama as VP to replace the elevated ‘Knees’ Harris…and then POTUS Obama to replace the overwhelmed and incapacitated Harris. and the winner will not be old-fashioned American freedom and prosperity!
What I wouldn’t give to see a few of these generals and admirals court-martialed, found guilty, and then sentenced to do hard time to set an example for future leaders. Permitting them to resign with full benefits is just too much to stomach given the negligence and the dereliction of duty. And that’s on top of the insubordination we witnessed during President Trump’s first term. I wore the uniform and served proudly and honorably. I’m not sure I would put one back on now if entailed serving under people like this.
J Day comes for all. God in the judgment seat.
A general actively serving who criticizes his commander in chief should be court martialed. A Sec of Def who criticizes the president should be fired.
At the least, a general and a secdef who are defeated and humiliated on the battlefield should be relieved of command.
Pending an inquiry into courts-martial for aiding the enemy by giving over armaments, etc.
But that would require a legit commander-in-chief.
A big problem for the service right now is the shade cast by the political class all last year, justifying $2 billion in damage as just deserts for a racist society. Who will fight for such a regime? There aren’t enough trannies to fill the ranks. Facebook is out there trying to repair the damage right now, knowing that we may have to fight the Chinese over Taiwan soon. Conservatives won’t fight under this far left regime. They have set a fine trap for themselves.
Nobody is throwing Biden under the Bus. Its all part of whatever plan they concocted.
Kamalobama was always Obamas chosen one.
He’s probably getting a gigantic offshore account to take the fall.
The Biden clan will be set for generations.
“Kamalobama” best name anyone has come up with for this shallow person, who has no accomplishments to support her rise to the top echelons of government. Has anyone ever questioned why she has such support from Obama? It seems strange that a person with so little political or intellectual talent would have been his choice to mentor and carry out his agenda.
And I’m not trying to defend the Pentagon, but it could be as simple as they DID advise Biden, Biden rejected it, so they went out and did their boss’s bidding. Happens in the real world every day. The boss is the boss.
It’s such an epic fuster cluck that they are trying not to kill their careers by falling on Biden’s sword.
I’m reminded of the scene in Outbreak when the late J.T. Walsh is with the cabinet about bombing the town with the pandemic.
Difference is with Trump the Pentagon made efforts to go around the President. They either directly disobeyed orders or they arranged an impeachment plot with the help of Lt. Col. Vindman.
Oh of course. Like I said, I’m not defending them. Nobody helped or listened to Trump. I just don’t think we need to over think it.
Lying to congress is a crime however.
Understood. Making predictions though that are woefully wrong isn’t lying. In fact, this is why they’re now trying to cover themselves.
Imagine Biden getting the jump on them saying he was trusting his men. And pointing to this Congressional video clip
The WSJ knows Xiden is a short-timer. Politicians come and go, but bureaucrats and the bureaucracies they manage go on forever.
All of this is pre-positioning for execution of the 25th Amendment against Xiden.
If someone participated in or supported the schemes to remove Trump, there is no reason that person wouldn’t participate in a scheme to sabotage and ultimately remove Current Occupant. Thanks to the UniParty we now have a Joint Chiefs of Praetorians unafraid to undermine representative government if doing so furthers its own interests.
Political generals play political games. The smart move is to saddle Biden with as much responsibility as possible for Afghanistan and everything else in the run-up to his run-out. Regardless of how off the scale and timing of the Afghan collapse was anticipated (or planned) the Defense faction of the swamp is making the most of the crisis by positioning itself for a Joe-less future.
Et tu, Milley?
Everyone is disposable in a corrupt regime’s world. Harris is poised to be installed, but will be seated among a den of wolves. That’s what happens when you desire power but have no real leverage.
She’s merely a tool.
I have come to believe that whoever is propping Joe Biden up is committing elder abuse. I don’t believe he knows anything, or is capable of making a decision other than the flavor of ice cream he wants!
It is the people behind Joe (the Obama administration) that are culpable and responsible for this debacle. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama, Jarrett and Rice made this decision as a deliberate way to get rid of Joe and to put the US in a humiliating and untenable position. That and to bring their standing army of jihadists from the middle east into our country.
Treason is at work here.
In a hail of locusts……consuming all the sinners like a tempest inferno
“Islam is a religion of peace!”
Now the Taliban have the country to themselves and whoever else they wish to invite. A Muslim country. Will other Muslim leaders take note? Does the Koran talk about a total world with nothing but Islam leading? Does that not mean all other religions are to either take a back seat or be destroyed?
Who is the infidel? Non Muslims are such people. The Taliban are the soldiers premier in holding onto land where other muslims can come and learn the trade of Jihad!
I note how retired General Jack Keane comes on Fox and talks sweetly while heaving Joe Biden closer to the wheels of the bus which now seems to want old Joe out of office. Could this suggest an insider’s game being played out in Washington DC? Is there more to this reality than what we are presenting seeing on the stages of our media?
Seems to me President Trump used a lot of dollars to build new equipment, etc. for the military. Just how much equipment is now in the hands of the Taliban?
I don’t want to say this but…I smell a rat, a very big and dangerous rat running around in Washington, DC. I most likely is more than one too!
China will do to Afghanistan what it did to African nations. Promise trade and investment (fire up the printing press), indebt the Afghans, then take. Lather, rinse, repeat.
My favorite line
“If these reports from Daily Mail and Wall Street Journal are accurate”
Remember the Vandals strolling across northern Africa and walking right into Carthage while all the Romans there were watching the Superbowl (something like that)?
I think about that quite a bit. Things can change that quickly, and I’m not talking about Kabul.
With all the WH infighting being reported, I wonder if anyone is watching the radar screens for any inbound supersonic missiles from China or Russia?
Best time for an attack is when you opposition is totally distracted.
The Uniparty is preparing to remove the current occupant of the white house under the terms, “he is not fit for the position.” I believe it is the 25th amendment that will be invoked, but these are the seeds being planted as to what is coming next. Remember, something big is right around the corner. Nothing is happening by accident, it is all well scripted.
Some of my family ask the question almost rhetorical, in reference to the so many failures taking place around us in this country.
It occurred to me God has turned the people over just like it says in Romans 1:28 “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient“
That’s what God will do and has done in the past, He just turns people over to that evil thing they want so badly.
These two freaking morons are careerists which is the major problem with our Intel and Military in the modern era. All these a$$hats are trying to do is save their own hides by throwing Biden under the bus! Totally pathetic!
I dont recall hearing about any of them threatening to resign if Biden continued his course. Did they not leak stories during Trump turn about general threatening to resign?
I believe they did!
I would like to see SOMEONE on the Republican side come out with a statement:
The Democrat Party, Media, Big Tech, Military Brass, Intelligence Community, and WH staffers, are all stampeding to throw Biden under the bus.
He deserves the be thrown under the bus.
But even more egregious is the culpability of all of you!
You spent months propping up this struggling, frail, memory impaired old man, telling the public he was fine.
You covered up for his inability to speak to the public without note cards, teleprompters, and predetermined questions.
You made excuses for nonexistent campaign crowds. Covid!
You used every tool at your disposal, legal and illegal, to get this man elected when every one of you knew he is incapable of leading the most powerful nation in the world.
Your loyal followers are beginning to realize the damage you and your puppet president have brought upon this nation.
Joe Biden deserves to be thrown under the bus.
But there is a special place in hell for all of you.
The damage done to the United States of America, and our allies around the world, is incalculable.
I sure hope we get to Nuremberg Trials and can bring so many forward on charges and accomplices in Crimes Against Humanity.
Active participants prepping for the 25th?
“Hey, Mark. Let’s blame the demented guy. He won’t remember what we said before anyway.”
“It’s only on video, we can just deny it.”
So if American civilians are killed in Afghanistan due to this disastrous evac plan, does anyone really think the media is going to cover these deaths or the return of their remains?
If it is never reported then to the left it never happened.
It’s Obama’s policies and Obama has given the go-ahead that it’s time to blame Joe, wherever that leads. The real fix is that Obama has Camala waiting in the wings. Watch who he selects as her VP. He may be the one running in ’24 as Camala “steps away.”
Or..the Wall Street Journal is defending Corporatism, the omnipotent State.
To my eye our country, our culture has entered Corporatism – a grand alliance of the big: big business and big government. Hundreds of corporations now see it as appropriate to issue orders and demands to elected politicians. By what definition is that socialism?
Certainly all leftists think the path to utopia is bigger, more powerful government. Laissez-faire capitalists are thin on the ground in the modern world. Instead, we have this phenomenon of the leftist billionaire.
Nothing against the State. The State doesn’t make mistakes. Trying to assign blame within the State is like trying to hold a handful of smoke. Only those who go against the State are blameworthy. Statist buffoons like Milley or Fauci can contradict themselves from minute to minute, and still remain in the good graces of the Corporatist media. Just don’t go against the State. Know that or know nothing.
This is the first time I have seen this made specific in a commentary and I believe it is pretty accurate. We keep reading blather about Communism, Socialism and the like, none of which seems anchored in anything resembling reality. My personal view is that what we are viewing is steady movement towards Fascism (yes, I know the National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party used the term socialist, but there wasn’t much socialism once the Nazis came to power), especially since I believe progressivism is a precursor to fascism. That said, Corporatism is probably an equally valid term for what is going on and maybe even a better one. I would use Fascism, though, if for no reason than that it captures and conveys the abject evil that accrues in a Fascist or Corporatist state.
All the ideologies you cited are evil, murderous, destructive and depraved, with not a wit of difference sufficient to merit distinction in this age of tyranny.
They all apply.
Are they going to throw the 25th amendment card.
Remember – it was only a few weeks ago that Top Brass in the Pentagon gave illegal orders to military personnel at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio TX to use military and government assets to aid and abet illegal aliens crossing the border and shipping those Covid-infected illegals across America.
The military top brass are very dangerous, a criminal organization.
Then pray that evil plotting is brought out into the sunlight, undeniably, on a global stage.
The Lord detests hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness that lies, those who sow discord … (Prov 6:16-19).
Remember the staged photos coming out of Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The media has always lied to us. 2021: We’re wiser now. Use discernment. Ask who is taking the images, where they are standing, why they remain safe. Just ask a lot of questions.
Heard Hugh Hewitt claiming that Joint Chiefs had no choice but to obey BiteMe’s orders, no matter how bad, because he’s the Commander in Chief.
Funny it didn’t work that way while President TRUMP was CIC.
A thousand likes for that observation.
Yep.
I used to listen to Hewitt because he was a palatable member of the GOPestablishment. Just to be aware of what those turds were thinking.
Ever since Hewitt brought Fauci on his show and slobbered all over Doctor Death, I loathe Hewitt. He is now guilty of crimes against humanity, just like Fauci.
Oh, and I have quit “Townhall” the network that Hewitt partly owns. “Townhall” network is promoting crooked Adam Kinzinger … ’nuff said …
But, but, but, that’s different! President Trump was a “threat to Democracy”!/s.
They’re getting ready to 25th amendment Biden. No doubt military was part of this FUBAR but they cannot go down. So they’re setting this up to be all Biden’s fault. RINO’s are going to go along with this because they want to keep the money going to the military industrial complex (and thereby the children and their campaigns). This is just the Swamp protecting itself. WSJ has always been part of the Swamp.
Which is why the left circulated that old Obama administration story about Biden saying “F— that” when asked about duty to Afghanistan.
Media complicit, publishing whatever the plotters give them to publish.
Not sure about the 25th amendment(highly possible) but you’re right about the military. The military is needed to suppress any homegrown rebellion while Biden is disposable.
They are preparing us for president Harris. This is scripted, it’s why the msm is on board with it.
This April 2021 CNN article stated that Biden went against his Sr. Advisors, the Pentagon & State Dept recommendations & went on his own with this. Perhaps the Sec Def & Gen Milley in the June video was just trying to keep their jobs and in a Public setting bit their tongues?
https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/14/politics/biden-overrules-advisers-afghanistan-withdrawal/index.html
Why would they follow Biden’s orders?? He obviously is mentally deficient. I thought we had procedures in place for such positions! hat if he decided to start a nuclear war????
Where’s Milley and Austin?
How come no one has heard from them?
Plotting evil, bearing false witness, racing to do wrong. The usual daily tasks.
Here they are. Live as of this comment
The country has the feel of a state of collapse, I’m thinking some kind of martial law is coming. They can’t wait for the coup plan to work its way through.
The U.S.? No. But they want you to think that. The media is the vector for demoralizing troops and citizens.
I warned about this on the Presidential Thread (at 12:06 pm for anyone who wants to read the particulars). All you have to do is listen to the morning talking points of certain NeoCon MIC supporters, to know what our domestic enemies are up to.
The narrative needs to be mocked and stopped NOW.
Either they’ve been told it is ok to blame Biden….
Or this is part of that cold war between Obama’s team and Biden’s team.

Susan Rice has been telling allies on the Hill that this is one of the most incompetent national security disasters in American history, said Obama’s “f*** up” quote is an understatement now
Well this is proof Obama is running the show. Susan Rice lies while she is lying.
Simple explanation.
Who are/is more important to the lefts agenda. The Military or Biden?
Sounds like the Cabal has planned Biden’s exit by humiliating him and the American people while simultaneously getting away with their 20 year Afghan war money grab. They know the American people generally don’t remember all the remarks made by politicians and we are all too trusting. I cannot wait to see and hear what the WP, NYT, the all the other MSM will be told to publish. I am certain we will find a similar montage – “Its not the Pentagon, its Biden”. They have to keep the mantra going so the message gets nailed into non-critical thinking minds.
Individuals who are incompetent, tend to blame everyone but themselves when something goes terribly wrong. Be it a mission, an exercise, a rescue, or anything. In this case, with so much at stake, and the world literally watching what was happening in real time, these three should have been the only ones deciding. It appears all three were unprepared and frankly unqualified to make some difficult decisions. Not only is this illegitimate administration an abject failure, it is incompetent to the extreme.
Inter-Agency looking to put their new mini-puppet (Kamala) to be the next Resident? One more step in their maneuvers to move this one (Biden) out, put the interim one (Harris) in for a very temporary point of time, so they can move their real leader (Pelosi?) into the top spot to complete the Great Re-Set within the next 2 years making any attempt at legitimate 2024 Presidential Election obsolete?
Another means of accomplishing its goal to create a Military Junta to rule us all and President Trump messed up their timeline so bad they had to go with Dementia Joe not realizing Joe really does have dementia?
The setup for a change adds more dimension.
We HAD to let the Taliban grab control because somebody might start auditing the books and want to know where $BILLION$ have gone. Now “they” can just claim Taliban burned all the books so we cannot account for the money.
LOTS of LOOTING — Total taxpayer cost likely topped $2 trillion since 2001 and there were 22,000 causalities and 2,400 fatalities of U.S. servicemen and women.
And besides the looting —-
IF YOU PURCHASED $10,000 of stock evenly divided among America’s top five defense contractors on September 18, 2001 — the day President George W. Bush signed the Authorization for Use of Military Force in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks — and faithfully reinvested all dividends, it would now be worth $97,295.
This is a far greater return than was available in the overall stock market over the same period. $10,000 invested in an S&P 500 index fund on September 18, 2001, would now be worth $61,613.
That is, defense stocks outperformed the stock market overall by 58 percent during the Afghanistan War.

Everyone is trying to hang this mess around the neck of the weakest link and whoever is expendable?
Circular pointing squad.
Quick, someone give them guns . . .
To me it’s becoming obvious. The Dems are going to use this debacle to remove Biden. A little early, but all part of the plan.
They have to do something as the polls are in a free fall.
Obama will indicate “now is the time.”
The Dems could care less about Creepy Joe. They thought he could be a useful puppet for another year or two but Joe blew things up. Wait for the guys with the white straight jackets to visit the White House soon.
Never let a crisis go to waste…..
Joe didn’t blow things up because he has no say at all on what is going on. The cabal is just too inept for its own good. But I agree–he will be the fall guy.
