They went just outright admit it Thank You madam chair gentlemen. This committee recognizes that your constitutional duty is To follow the lawful orders of the president or resign If you don't agree with his decisions and policies like secretary Mattis did But I want to emphasize you do not have a duty constitutional or otherwise To cover for the commander-in-chief when he is not telling the truth to the American people with that I have a few questions that I'd like you to keep short concise answers to on August 18th in a media interview To the American people the president said that none of his military advisers told him that He should keep us forces in Afghanistan general Milley. That was a false statement by the president United States. Was it not I? Didn't even see the statement to tell you that I'm reading you a truthful statement Those that was a false statement. Yeah, I'm not I'm looking like I don't have a lot of time Okay, is that a false statement to the American I'm not gonna categorize the statement of a president United States Your top military advisors weren't against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops No, they didn't it was split that wasn't true. That wasn't true They didn't tell you that they wanted troops to stay No, no one told your military advisors did not tell you. No, we should just keep 2,500 troops It's been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that We can continue to do that. No, no one said that to me that I can recall General McKenzie was that a false statement the president the president said none of his commanders said that he should keep troops in Afghanistan was that a false statement by the president? I said remember you do not have a duty to cover for the president when he's not telling the truth Was that a false statement or not? I've given you my opinion on the matter. I've given you my judgment on it I think we all know it was a false statement. Okay, that's number one President also said if there's an American citizen left behind in Afghanistan the military is not is going to stay until we get them out General Milley was that statement did that statement turn out to be true or untrue by the president? I think that was the intent But we gave him a recommendation on 25th of August to terminate the mission on the 31st of August statement was untrue Let me make another and let me ask another question general Milley general McKenzie The president around the same time said quote Al Qaeda was gone from Afghanistan told the American people that was that true or not? True was Al Qaeda gone from Afghanistan in mid-August True or not true? Al Qaeda is still in Afghanistan. They were there in mid-August They have been severely disrupted and attritted over many many years. They are not so it wasn't true General McKenzie was that true or not Al Qaeda was present in Afghanistan so it wasn't true Let me let me make one final one The president called this entire retrograde operation an extraordinary success general Miller in his testimony Disagreed with that assertion General Milley was this Afghanistan retrograde operation an extraordinary success. There's there's two operations senator Just yes or no. I have a lot of questions. Was this an extraordinary success? I think here's the problem I think the whole world knows this is the cover that Economist magazine Biden's debacle that Had stories in it articles in it called the fiasco in Afghanistan is a huge and unnecessary blow to America's standing That's one article Joe Biden blames everybody else. That's another article China sees America humbled That's another article and gentlemen The problem here these are not marginal misstatements by the president to the American people These are dramatic obvious falsehoods that go to the very heart of the foreign policy fiasco We have all witnessed these are life and death Deceptions that the president of the United States told the American people. I have one final question I might leave it because it's a long one for the follow-up, but here's here's the anger I've never seen my constituents more angry about an issue than this and it's the combination of Everybody knowing that this is a debacle and yet people defending it as a quote extraordinary success and here's the biggest No accountability no accountability You gentlemen have spent your lives and I completely respect it Troops in combat you've been in combat. You've had troops under your command killed in action You have been part of an institution Where accountability is so critical in the American people respect that up and down the chain where there are instances commanders get relieved Up and down the chain. We see it The McCain incident the Fitzgerald incident the AAV incident with the Marine Corps three-star four-star flag officers all relieved of duty But on this matter on the biggest national security fiasco in a generation There has been zero accountability No responsibility from anybody So I will ask this final question all of all of you senator cotton talk about it Madam if I madam Could you submit your question? Please we're trying to keep to a five minute questioning rounds You can ask a question in your second round if you'd like hide multiple times he lied and I'll put a little article up here We already knew that okay, they're the Washington Post actually got a memo A secret memo and it says here a confidential trove of government documents obtained by the Washington Post reveals that the senior US officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan throughout the 18-year campaign making rosy pronouncements that they knew to be false hiding Unmistakable evidence that the war had been come unwinnable Okay, well, I don't know about winning the war or whatever. I mean we pretty much had won the war it had come to like a Point where the Taliban we went almost two years there with no casualties. So I'd say that means we won the war I mean what we do after that, you know, we you know, we pull out We don't leave everybody there, but we got to leave some kind of a footprint so that we can Keep from happening what happened before or else the entire 20-year mission is for nothing Which is what happened and now we're right back in the situation that we were in before except for now We have like I was saying earlier We we look weak because we weren't you know Asserting ourselves there and making new deals with the Taliban. So we look weak. We pulled out Leaving the Taliban al Qaeda and ISIS all with an amazing propaganda victory and that you know They sit there and they say oh, we don't know what the Taliban's relationship is gonna be It's gonna be just like it was before I mean they might fight and stuff But ultimately they have a main they have a common enemy and that's us and that's gonna probably bring them together in some some form And you can guarantee there's gonna be attacks on the American homeland That's there's no doubt about that and this goes back to and especially Lloyd Austin Lloyd Austin was the was the second highest ranking member a second highest ranking commander in Iraq So He's the second highest ranking commander in Iraq. We leave Iraq under the Obama administration. What happens? Exactly what you could have predicted happen. I made a video, you know back in 2007 or 2008 something like that Predicting exactly what happened and I was basing that prediction on what happened in Somalia because what happened in Somalia We went in there we fought al Qaeda We left with our tail between our legs and it was a major propaganda victory that Osama used Called us a paper tiger launched multiple attacks on the World Trade Center So it's like we know what's gonna happen. And so you have Lloyd secretary of defense Lloyd Whatever his name is Austin and he's in here. Oh, well, we have lessons to learn FK Lessons to learn you should have already learned that lesson what happened in Iraq when we left Well, the exact same thing I Isis rolled through rolled right over the Iraqi army at first got a ton of our equipment and then rampaged across Iraq and in other countries and the Syria and the entire Middle East and so then you come to leaving Afghanistan. It's like They weren't prepared for that at all. He admitted Miley or all of them admitted that one of the scenario they did not Do a war games a tabletop war game scenario of the Afghan military falling Immediately at 17 days when they didn't have that scenario I am baffled by that. How can meet how can I I'm just some shlub on the internet I know I'm not alone. How can we predict that? That's exactly what's gonna happen, but they don't know It strange credulity like that is unbelievable This is a failure. They are failures. They should not be holding their positions Lloyd Austin especially because he's already been through this once and then does the exact same thing again another point At one point Miley was asked what you know What he thought if the claims in these books that had just come out That's the reason he one of the reasons he's there testifying Because these you know these claims about him warning China and all this He says he hasn't read the book to be able to tell at this hearing that he's known about it was coming He hasn't read the book to know if they were accurate claims It just like to me this seems like a a guy who's a liar and he just lies about everything like I cannot believe that you're You're gonna be on this and you know this hearing that the whole nation's gonna see and you don't read the book Or like at least read the segment that's talking about what the reason you're gonna be here testifying I don't believe it like he just said that so he wouldn't have to respond to it
