Ex-DNI Ric Grenell Says "Gen. Milley Is Lying About Who Decided to Shut Down Bagram"

GenClownMilley is a woke disaster!
quote:
Ric Grenell, President Trump’s former acting Director of National Intelligence, on Tuesday said General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has not been truthful about who made the disastrous decision to shut down Bagram Air Force Base before evacuating American citizens and Afghan allies from the war-torn country.
During an interview on Fox News, Grenell took aim at Milley, accusing the four-star general of falsely claiming that the commander in charge of Bagram Air Force Base, General Scott Miller, advised the Biden White House to shut the base down.
“I can tell you that that’s not true. I know that from very first hand information. General Miller did not want to close Bagram but General Milley said that he did,” Grenell told Fox News host Bill Hemmer.
During a press conference on August 18, Milley claimed that CENTCOM commander General Kenneth McKenzie, and General Miller had made the decision to close Bagram Air Force Base.
“Our task given to us at that time, our task was protect the embassy in order for the embassy personnel to continue to function with their consular service and all that. If we were to keep both Bagram and the embassy going, that would be a significant number of military forces that would have exceeded what we had or stayed the same or exceeded what we had,” Milley told reporters.
“So we had to collapse one or the other, and a decision was made. The proposal was made form CENTCOM commander and the commander on the grounds, Scott Miller, to go ahead and collapse Bagram,” Milley continued. “That was all briefed and approved, and we estimated that the risk of going out of HKIA or the risk of going out of Bagram about the same, so going out of HKIA — was estimated to be the better tactical solution in accordance with the mission set we were given and in accordance with getting the troops down to about 600, 700 number.”

You can see the evil in Milley’s eyes.

Grenell disputed Milley’s version of events, telling Hemmer that Miller had actually warned the White House not to close the base.
Someone's pants are on fire.
And I think it is that bastion of white rage: Milley.

Is this a euphemism?

Whether who did or did not make the decision on Bagram kind of hides the ball.
As later you see why there was a decision at all. They reduced troops levels to a point where they were forced to make a decision one way or the other.

Baring all fraud out of the 24 election and Trump wins handily . Grenell needs to have a key role in Trumps White House . Not ambassador to a foreign nation , but head of an intelligence agency . Guy is quickly becoming one of my favorites because he tells the truth and calls out these hypocrites.
