From Kash Patel, former Chief of Staff at the Pentagon - "Trump instructed me to arrange a conditions-based, methodical exit plan that would preserve the national interest. The plan ended up being fairly simple: The Afghan government and the Taliban were both told they would face the full force of the US military if they caused any harm to Americans or American interests in Afghanistan."....."When all those conditions were met — along with other cascading conditions — then a withdrawal could, and did, begin."....."We successfully executed this plan until Jan. 20, 2021. "....."We handed our entire plan to the incoming Biden administration during the lengthy transition. The new team simply wasn’t interested.
Everything changed when the new commander in chief declared that US forces would leave Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021, pushing back the Trump administration’s timetable by four months."
Is Mr. Patel lying?
Now we have video of Millions, maybe Billions of first-line US military equipment in the hands of the Taliban. Where is that going? China, Russia, Iran, North Korea?
This was a colossal screw-up by the Current Administration, Sec Def and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, to name a few. It used to be called Gross Misconduct/ Gross Dereliction of Duty, etc. Where is the UCMJ when it comes to Gen. Milley? We have heard that no one is above the law.
How is this on Trump?
I think the best question is "Why were we in Afghanistan for 20 years"? It's an honest question. How did those 20 years of sacrifice serve US National and Strategic interests and how did it benefit the American people?
