and here's mili apparently being part of this whole thing. and then saying, you know what, i consider a remarkable freudian slip that journey or 6 was trumps. right? stock fire ma moment. well, the right stock fire voice event that hitler used to come to power out for democracy in post personal dictatorship and basically run germany as his personal possession for the next 12 years. that's not what happened on january 6 on last year, actually reversing it and seeing who he was january 6 to take. absolutely. i mean i'm not writing and i think i'm what he said, and that's the thing. and none of that actually have to come for the fresh and fast forward to currently right now. what's happening at this, you know, this exact day, you have general milly or positions the and currently under ministration. he has the full faith and confidence of president by knew, personally endorsed him and everything he stood for and then said everything i did was perfectly correct. and according to procedures, which by the way, the acting secretary of defense at the

i recommended that we maintain 2500 troops in afghanistan and general mili then was asked next. and he also agreed with that assessment. so de either joe biden is a liar, or he is losing his mind, or maybe both, i don't know, but he was not being honest and forthcoming with george stephanopoulos and the american people during that interview where he denied that his, his people told them to keep a force there. the big question for me is one of the 1st mess this acknowledge just all of these politicians double talk in see one thing to you and say something go to a different person. i'm not going to dispute that at off. the big problem is, what are we going to do moving forward, whereas the plan to fix the things that we attempted to do. and basically that's a conversation i'm trying to have when i talk about joe biden saying one thing. and it says something that, you know, we could do the same thing, but pretty much every president in history. but we're, the ads will answer that one of the solution how, how do we move forward? well, drill. what i'd like to see is getting the remai

i think you also cite general mili. you said there was no indication that there would be a rapid collapse of the afghan army and government. you know, for much of last year i was the acting chairman of intelligence. i'm now the vice chairman of intelligence. i've been tracking this very, very closely. and just going back to the beginning of the here, i can just, obviously i can't quote the titles of the pieces, but let me suffice to say that there are numerous pieces that will be categorized as it's going to hit the fan. and, but let's just for a moment put that aside, kick us, did i think any analysis of those pieces would have led anyone to that conclusion? putting that aside from on we had every reason we had every reason to believe and to plan for the rapid collapse of the afghan military and the afghan government at the beginning of 2020, by our missions, we had a really already really bad status quo in afghanistan, ok, we had a small footprint, but we had a strong commitment to air support and that sustained the a

the one who took the most heat, general mili over as comments in the just released bob woodward book peril where it revealed several of milly's actions in the final days of president trump's time in office. including calls with his chinese counterpart and his conversation with how speaker nancy pelosi, quoted pelosi as saying, and this was to you what i'm saying to you is that they couldn't even stop him from an assault on the capital. who even knows what else he may do, and is there anybody in charge of the white house who was doing anything but kissing his fat but all over this is that you recall that there's a lot of barging comments made. and, and my focus was to assure her that the nuclear system and weapons are under control, and then more probing into what these men actually told president joe biden, after the resurfacing of the president's august interview with george stephanopoulos. so no, no one told your military advisors not to, you know, we should just keep 2500 troops. it's been a stable situation for the last several years. we can do that. we can continue to do that. n

now, general mili admitted that the united states exit out of afghanistan was what he referred to as a strategic failure. saying that it will be much harder to protect the country from national security threats that are coming out of afghanistan and secretary of defense austin, he basically describes the by did ministration as miscalculating a number of factors. we need to consider some uncomfortable truce that we did not fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership and their senior ranks . that we did not grass so damaging effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president gunny of his commanders. that we did not anticipate the snowball effect caused by the the deals that the taliban commanders struck with local leaders in the wake of the high agreement that the doha agreement itself had a demoralizing effect on afghan soldiers. and that we fail to fully grasp that there was only so much for which and for whom many of the afghan forces would fight . now it's important to point out that sense late august, the biden administration has been under fire because of

k to help left americans now one top general called mark mili. he was singled out by songs as on the ground as making a call to not open the gate. can you confirm general milly was mentioned by name as the leader there is condemning them to death. yes, i can confirm that mentioned by name. when even off the images of the cale sat, couple apple in much the u. s. kept up the narrative, but the situation was under total control. what we're doing every single minute of every single hour of every single day is working to create safe passage for all civilians, including the afghans who work for us to the airport to get them on planes and get them out. i think they're responsible to say americans are stranded, they are not. we are committed to bringing americans who want to come home homes completed. one of the biggest err lists in history, extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of united states, military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. while off the about creation, michael y

afghanistan and the collapse of the afghan government. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mike mili, is facing the panel right now. that's him right there. let's listen a military and only 11 days in august. however, one lesson must never be forgotten. every soldier sailor amen. a marine who served there in afghanistan, 20 consecutive years, protected our country from attacked by terrorists, and for that they should be forever proud and we should be forever grateful. thank you chairman, and if i could, i know that there's some issues in the media that are deep concern to many members on the committee and with your permission, i'd like to address those remitted to again, i've submitted memoranda for the committee to take a look at you may see miss chairman, i've, i've served this nation for 42 years. i spent years in combat, and i buried a lot of my troops who died while defending this country. my loyalty to this nation . its people and the constitution hasn't changed and will never change. as long as i have a breath to give my loyalty is absolute. and i will not turn my back on the

general about their capacity to stop any threats that it made from afghanistan from now on general mili said it would not be harder to protect americans from terrorist attacks from i've got his son. how concerning is that to you and you know who, who stands to gain from this? well, as i said, the worst possible outcome would be, the taliban allowed al qaeda, isis k, and other terrorist words to come back into afghanistan and take advantage of uncovered spaces within afghanistan to set up training camp site and plot future attacks in both europe and the united states, so that's the greatest change in our ability to control that. i think we're saying it briefly. mr. kim, at how useful are the are these hearings and what lessons can we draw from this? yes, i think they're very useful for the american public that they hear not through the media, but directly from the commanders on the ground. and in the pentagon, what was done, why it was done, and why these decisions were made. thank you very much for talking to us. mark kim, it's joining us there from washington opposition. politicians, i

now, republican senator tom cotton asked general mili if he would resign over this whole fiasco. and he was defiant and saying no, so drew, you know, talk about holding people accountable. the the marine now is, is being held accountable for disobeying orders. and he's in jail, reportedly. first of all, should millie and the others resign. should someone resign? no one's been held accountable and i don't think anybody's going to be held accountable. what's what, how could that happen? yeah, look this to me. whether it's him or you said somebody, somebody has got to be held accountable for this. there's got to be someone who goes down, and frankly, there's not going to be enough to do because remember, this is the biggest international blunder of our lifetime. it's not our life down at least a century. this was horribly done and could have been done. so definitely, and whether someone else would have done, it definitely doesn't matter. this was what was done. this was how it was done so many to be held accountable. and what we're doing, and we've seen over the last several years a

we heard the term and address to staff general mili talked about the countries enemies past and present and he mentioned. ready the taliban in that group along with al qaeda and iso, the nazi the communist and fashion. so that was an interesting reference. i saw it also the secretary of defense. he talked about against and he talked about the circle of service members who died as they were doing that hasty retreat, killed a suicide bombings. you talked about their service not being in a vain. and that is really the message that we repeatedly hear from the defense leadership. they're concerned because a lot of people in the course are asking what was the point. why was 20 years of war conducted only for the us to leave with americans left behind, ask and allies left behind the taliban? not only back in charge, but better equipped with us military equipment. so lots of questions being asked here at the pentagon of what was it, or why? what was the goal of the war in afghanistan? and wasn't, in fact a failure was probably was saying the 911 attacks led to that 20 year warden. i've got a so

as general mili, the chairman, the joint chiefs of staff has said nothing. i or anyone else saw, indicated a collapse of this army. and the government in 11 days. nonetheless, we planned and exercised a wide range of contingencies because of that planning. we were able to draw down our embassy and move our remaining personnel to the airport within 48 hours. and the military placed on standby by president biden was able to secure the airport and start the evacuation within 72 hours. and yes, that evacuation was an extraordinary effort. under the most difficult conditions imaginable. by our diplomats or military wire intelligence professionals. they worked around the clock to get american citizens, afghans who helped us citizens of our allies and partners, and at risk afghans on planes. out of the country, off the united states or the transit locations that are diplomats that arrangement to go seated in multiple countries or counselor team or 247 to reach out to americans who could still be in country making 55000 phone calls, sending 33000 e mails by august 3

general mily said today that the afghanistan evacuation missio in his words, was a logistical success but a strategic failure given the enemy is controlled despite a 20-year war. was really striking t hear the chairman of the joint cefs say that in uform und oath. t taking his point, it was a ilure many yrs in the making. at was your iression of that? >> well, i think you're all right to note it. it's probably the most political statemt of all. this is a hearing about whether or not milley is being political. that says something. frankly, secretary austin gave him the leeway to do it in his opener. austin was pretty frank in his ener awell, saying there was a lot to accnt for. ey know theailures o that mission b they just tried to focu on celebrating thetrps, they perform it we,hey did fine i think t bigger pois are austin -- excuse me, are general milley coming out on the record saying that he did - he pushed ck on trump in the fall on this order to withdraw all troops before biden came to office and recomnded 2500 to 4500 then he said there was another review with the biden administ
