$1 to Sundance:
quote:

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 Bagrahm 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.

Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby Holds an Off-Camera Press Briefing AUG. 18, 2021

quote:

PRESS SECRETARY JOHN F. KIRBY: Good morning, everybody. Let me get organized here.

Q: You’re not color coordinated today…sorry to tell you.

MR. KIRBY: Oh, the mask. I know, I -- actually I shouldn't admit this but there is a -- there is a mask that actually goes with this suit. But it -- it is in my car and since I'm not on camera I figured I wouldn't have to go back and get it. Otherwise, I would -- I would hear about it if I was on TV with a mask that wasn't properly coordinated.


quote:

Additionally, 18 C-17s have departed in the last 24 hours. These flights have carried around 2,000 passengers. And I can confirm that 325 of those passengers are American citizens. The remainder of the number will include Afghans and some NATO personnel. In the next 24 hours, the scheduled airlift numbers will be similar to the last 24 hours.


quote:

Q: Yes. The White House put out the numbers last night, that there were 1,100 U.S. citizens. So, the 325 AMCITS. So, you're not giving us aggregate number at this point, right? I'm -- because I...

MR. KIRBY: They were -- they were right. They got that number from us, that was at the end of our day yesterday that that was the 1,100 that we got out in -- at the end of our day. What I'm trying to get to here just for our consistency is, you know, 03 to 03. And so, I'm -- that -- that's what I'm giving you now.

Q: So, do we add the 325 to the 1,100? So that they -- so that they got 1,400, now we can't do that right because that's not right.

MR. KIRBY: I don't think so.

Q: Do you have an aggregate number of how many...

MR. KIRBY: Yes we do. And I -- if I don't have it here we'll -- we can get it for you.

Q: OK, sorry, it's just that it's like the big question that we keep getting.

MR. KIRBY: I understand.

Q: How many people are getting out? And it's like the numbers...

MR. KIRBY: I am well aware that data can be confused.

Q: Yes. MR. KIRBY: I get it.

Q: Thank you.

This is what happens when you give high level positions to people based on race and gender to check boxes.

Completely incompetent morons running the show.

They are taking no responsibility whatsoever. They are giving sound bites meant to help salvage them in the public eye. Unbelievable.
