Terror threat is RAISED: Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley tells senators that the US homeland is now at greater risk from terror groups in Afghanistan in major blow to American efforts after 20 years of fighting in the country

    Mark Milley told senators he will update an assessment on the timeline of a terrorist group reemergence in Afghanistan up from a two-year 'medium threat'
    The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin briefed a bipartisan group of senators on Sunday
    They said President Biden and top military officials underestimated how quickly the Taliban would retake Afghanistan after the troop withdrawal
    'Two takeaways for me – We're gonna leave tens of thousands of people behind... and the timeline in terms of threats has accelerated,' a source on the call said

Afghanistan fell to the Taliban much faster than President Joe Biden and his top military leaders predicted, a Sunday report from Axios reveals.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley told a bipartisan group of senators during a Sunday call that a past assessment of how soon the terrorist groups will reemerge in Afghanistan will drastically speed up due to the events over the last week.

On the call with Milley, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham asked if they will revise the assessment given to Congress in June that classified a 'medium' risk of terrorist group reconstituting within two years of withdrawal.

Project weakness and you will be tested. If you don't respond to the test decisively you get rolled over.

I know the Rats are worthless, where were our military leaders?

Anybody and everybody, except Cubans.

    We didn't learn Jack $hit from the Russian's 10 year struggle there   (Thank You Charlie Wilson, TX), Wasteland of Empires since Alexander the Great.

    This is a complete failure of our Intelligence Service and State Dept.

This is what happens when you waste precious assets that should be watching our real enemies, instead of  chasing after your own patriotic citizens for political purposes.
I must note that incompetence at the Department of State has been the Hallmark of Democrat Administrations, and the rise of ISIS can be credited to the destabilization of North Africa and the Levant, all wrought by Obama's minions and Hillary. From Castro in  Cuba and The Bay of Pigs debacle, the aftermath of (and involvement in) Vietnam, the Iranian Hostage crisis, Benghazi, Mursi in Egypt, etc., even, to some extent Syria, all have Democrats fingerprints all over them.

Predictably, the usual suspects are on their horse w/the political blame game,
despite politics being the essence of this fandango.
Plainly and simply, Afghanistan was never any of our business/concern, even for a day!
At its core, our military/political actions/responses are something to yap about and so what.
What matters is that this is a severe 'Loss of Face' for the United States, an outcome that
great nations cannot suffer in the eyes of the world and remain great.

Mr. Biden insisted that "first of all, the mission hasn't failed," Joe Biden 7/8/21

At least Biden killed bin laden, so he has that going for him.

@christian at a time like this, it really is time to get past the NeverTrumper mentality. It does absolutely nothing to promote unity which we really, really need right now. We need to ALL come together to somehow save this Republic. It's time to figure out a way forward.

BTW the terror threat has been heightened and 9-11 is just around the corner.

Milley Mathis and Lloyd Austin....are all WOKE GENERALS.  DOES THAT EXPAIN IT?   Lloyd Austin  supports, BLM, C.R.T AND GAYNESS and makes conservatives listen to a lame speech on C.R.T.  HE IS TOP DOG IN PENTAGON.   Austin is purging all conservatives from military.  He is making military take the NON approved by FDA, vaccine by Sept 15.  5th?
So, it will mostly be gays, trannies, lefts, who will be forced to take the vax.

I disagree. All you N.T'S....need it rubbed in your faces.   You will have horrors to endure. WHAT UNITY?  GIVE IN TO ALL YOU N.T.S....AGAIN?  You all need to learn the hard way!   We, already KNOW. 

[Free Vulcan]

Milley is OBSESSSED with turning leftist political opposition into terrorists.

He also seems obsessed with getting the military involved in stomping the jackboot on them.

    Take a Valium @LegalAmerican   I agree with @libertybele 
    'NT' is so passé now, different meaning entirely.  The only way to for us to be distinguished now is probably use the more correct nomenclature 'TH' for Trump Hater and/or 'TE' for Trump Envy.

    We old NT'ers, if we are still alive, when Trump runs again in 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036 (as an inframicrobe, orange podcast), will never vote for your guy and always vote for the hottest chick anyway, it was was already way past over before the infamous escalator ride 6 years ago.

Yes, I am. You all need to be smacked up side your head, with all your ignorant thinking, that I read on here.   .  My history is great.  All facts.

    *Katko alleged that people from 'Yemen and the Middle East' were coming across

    *The center is to be used initially for a period of 90 days 
    *Republican critics blame Biden for relaxing some of former President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies
    *Biden officials have fired back, saying they inherited a broken immigration system that had treated asylum seekers inhumanely
