Top military officials on Tuesday testified that they assessed that the U.S. should maintain a presence of at least 2,500 troops in Afghanistan, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin admitting that their input was "received" by President Biden, despite Biden's claims to the contrary.

Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, and head of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday for a public hearing on the Biden administration's chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

McKenzie and Milley both testified that they recommended maintaining a presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Biden is a pathological liar and his generals are stooges.

Biden was never told because he was never in attendance during ANY of these discussions because he IS A PUPPET and NOT OUR REAL president.

Exactly.

And the sheep won’t even notice.

Biden claims he was never told

Or didn't remember due to dementia, which of course is the real story here. I think everyone should just pull the band aid off, admit Biden has dementia and is incapable of fulfilling the duties of the office of the President.

Big only if ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN report it. Which they won’t.

But I suppose it will be mentioned in a footnote in some future history book. So there’s that.

From what Pelosi said today, maybe Obama figures it’s time for Joe to go, so he can name himself Emperor for Life.

Under oath, on the record, here, now, in this place, tell us General Milley, Secretary Austin, to which specific person at the white house did you communicate this information?

Did you speak to the President, directly? Date, time and place? Did you have any prepared information? If you spoke directly to the President, who else was present?

Blinkey had to have been in the loop.

Was Blinkey doing Biden’s bidding
Or is Blinkey blaming Biden?

I think the demented one said he “didn’t remember” his advisors telling him only a dumbass would leave Americans behind.
