Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Testify on Afghanistan Withdrawal Debacle

Nathaniel Charles 6 Jan 2022

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to testify next week on events surrounding the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Austin will appear Tuesday in a closed-door hearing with the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations examining the conclusion of a 20-year military intervention in Afghanistan which came to an abrupt end in August 2021.

The retired four star U.S. general previously criticised President Donald Trump’s withdrawal strategy from Afghanistan when testifying to the Senate in September 2021.

Austin claimed then Trump’s peace deal was partly responsible for the problems with the withdrawal, saying it had a “demoralising effect on Afghan soldiers”, alongside corruption in the Afghanistan government.

Austin, President Joe Biden’s January 2021 appointee, did not however suggest Biden bore any major responsibility for the disastrous events that transpired outside Kabul, UPI reports.

Trump’s deal, made in early 2020, promised to withdraw all U.S. forces by May 1, 2021, providing the Taliban agreed to not harm any American troops and cut ties with terrorist organisations.

Why not just phone in his 'It wasn't me it was him' testimony. You know where he says no one from Biden on down were responsible for the piss poor decisions, planning and execution including the deaths and injuries to our soldiers.....it was all Trumps fault. Because when ever possible democrats will try and blame Trump for their failures and the socialists will lap it up like the mind numbed robots they are.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Testify to how badly things went?  We all know that's doubtful.  The entire Joe administration is a complete waste and more corrupt than I could ever have imagined.  Meanwhile .... the MSM remains silent on the number of Americans that were left behind and obviously no attempt by our gov't to get them out.  Last I had read, there was a private entity that got about 30 more out, but that's all I've heard.
