did well done there's a whole series of decisions that take place over NUMBER_TOKEN years i don't think that whenever you get some phenomena like a war that is lost and it has been in the sense of we accomplished our strategic task of protecting america against al qaeda but certainly the end state is a whole lot different than what we wanted so whenever the phenomenon like that happens there's an awful lot of causal factors and we're gonna have to figure that out oh well i mean one of those possible factors would have been the complete withdrawal of american troops without any sort of plan for upholding the afghan military withdrawing all air support withdrawing all civilian contractors and then withdrawing the military before any of the civilians could leave maybe ha i don't know just a guess i had a couple of guesses there i think maybe some of them are accurate then millie apparently in a in a confidential briefing he apparently directly blamed the state department he said officials waited too long to order the operation out of kabul's airport two days of testimony from millie defense secretary lloyd austin and general frank mckenzie head of centcom underscored the finger-pointing and deep divisions between state and the pentagon lawmakers are demanding accountability over the biden administration's chaotic exit from afghanistan including the failure to evacuate thousands of at-risk afghan allies and leaving without evacuating all americans the state department delayed evacuations at the order of president biden after afghan president ashkaf ghani warned that evacuating afghan allies earlier would destroy morale and lead to the collapse of the government during a closed door session after tuesday's public testimony senator tammy duckworth directed a general question to austin about lessons learned from the withdrawal and millie jumped in to say the evacuation of civilians needed to happen earlier so millie was like it wasn't us it was the state department remember joe biden said there was virtual unanimity inside his administration his military folks were just backing what he had to say lies and general milley also admitted in testimony that the taliban never broke affiliation with al-qaeda remember that time they were saying that the taliban was helping us fight al qaeda and fight fight isis and they were really they're moderating that was all lie there were seven conditions applicable to the taliban and eight conditions applicable to the united states while the taliban did not attack u.s forces which was one of the conditions it failed to fully honor any any other condition under the doha agreement and perhaps most importantly for u.s national security the taliban has never renounced al qaeda or broke its affiliation with them oh well um that's that's weird because you know that might have been helpful for the american people to know when you surrender the entire country to them okay lloyd austin the incompetent secretary of defense he uh he also blamed the state department was it your judgment and opinion that the evacuations of civilians should have begun before the middle of august we provided our input to the state department and again it is a call of the state department to i understand that i
