The generals claim they told Biden the Afghanistan withdrawal would be a disaster. Biden claims they didn’t tell him that.
Who’s lying?
Biden himself has no idea. He can’t remember.
All we know for sure — and this is the main point — is that no one in Pentagon leadership will ever be held accountable for the latest in a very long string of colossal screw ups that have dramatically reduced American power and prestige and gotten a bunch of people killed. It’s amazing.
Highlights of tonight’s show include:
“Somehow, despite the overwhelming evidence that Mark Milley is dishonest, incompetent, partisan, dishonorable, Mark Milley still has a highly prominent job. That’s the amazing thing.”
“Isn’t this the same Mark Milley who once illegally seized personal control of our country’s nuclear arsenal? And then when that wasn’t sufficient, promised to tip off the government of China about future American military operations, and did all of this because he didn’t like his boss, who unlike him, was yes, a civilian. Elected by voters.”
“Until today, the generals and their many allies in government have been undermining Biden indirectly. Far be it for us to defend Joe Biden, who deserves no defense, but it is a defense of the American system, which works well when civilians control the military.”
“No one in the Pentagon’s leadership will ever be held accountable for this, the latest in a very long string of colossal screw ups that have dramatically reduced American power and prestige around the world and gotten a ton of people killed.”
“No one.”
“It’s very, very frustrating. Not because recrimination is good, but because in order to function, a system has to be accountable. And as of tonight, there’s only one man in the entire US government who is being punished for the failure, the catastrophic failure in Afghanistan. His name is Stu Sheller. He’s a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Marine Corps. He’s an honorable and honest man. He’s also blameless.”
“Here’s what happened to him. Military brass forced Stu Sheller to undergo a psychological evaluation, because only a crazy person would ask for accountability after the disaster in Afghanistan. And then when he wouldn’t admit he was crazy, they threw him in prison. In jail, where he sits tonight.”
