Biden and Blinkin = total fvckup.

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley and former Commander U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie revealed critical details about the Biden administration's decision-making process behind the withdrawal, including that the president ignored their warnings.

McKenzie agreed, saying he too believes the events of August 2021 were the result of delayed decisions that were the responsibility of the State Department.

'It remains my opinion that if there is culpability in this attack, it lies in policy decisions that created the environment.'

'Culpability and responsibility do not lie with the troops on the ground,' he added.

The conversations between Biden administration officials and the generals on when and how to evacuate were ongoing for months before the August withdrawal.

Milley said that if he could make the decision again, he would have begun the evacuation over a month before the withdrawal was ordered.


--- Biden issued the order to evacuate on AUG 14. The military was ordered to be out of Afghanistan by AUG 31.

'I would've brought the embassy and the State Department out with the military by the middle of July,' he said. 'If there was a do-over, that would be it.'

-- Milley was asked about Joe's pledge to "stay until every American was out" was false, saying there was never a policy to remain after AUG 31.

Milley even admitted he did not know how many Americans were in Afghanistan at the time of the withdrawal.

'I'll be candid; I don't know the exact number of Americans that were left behind because the starting number was never clear.'


--- The State Department never knew how many Americans were even in the country.

He also testified that he believed the rapid withdrawal would lead to a civil war.

-- Joe Biden is on record saying no one ever suggested leaving 2500 troops in Afghanistan "to his knowledge"

'My personal analysis was that an accelerated withdrawal would likely lead to the general collapse of the Afghan security forces and the Afghan government, resulting in a large-scale civil war reminiscent of the 1990s or a complete Taliban takeover,' Milley said.
