Charles Hurt: Mark Miley Solidifies Himself as the Ultimate Swamp CreatureWynn Marlow 30 Sep 2021
Well, now we know why there was no plan to evacuate Afghanistan after 20 years without abandoning thousands of American citizens and allies on the battlefield, killing 13 U.S. troops and surrendering $80 billion worth of American military equipment to our terrorist enemy.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley was too busy to come up with one. He was too busy leaking to a raft of Washington reporters who spent the past year digging up dirt for the library of rabidly anti-Trump books they were writing.
Indeed, loose lips really do sink ships.
It was a moment of stunning honesty during Tuesday’s Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee Republican, ordered Gen. Milley to provide simple “yes” or “no” answers to her questions in hopes that he might quit all the dodging and weaving he had been doing all morning about the disastrous collapse of Kabul.
“‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to this — Did you talk to Bob Woodward or Robert Costa for their book, Peril?”
“Woodward, yes. Costa, no.”
“Did you talk to Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker for their book, I Alone Can Fix It?”
“Yes.”
“Did you talk to Michael Bender for his book, Frankly We Did Win This Election — The Inside Story of How Trump Lost — yes or no?”
“Yes.”
But all honesty ended right there. Mrs. Blackburn then asked Gen. Milley if he was accurately portrayed in the books, and he went back to dodging.
