The Iran Nuke Primer

[PoliticalChic]

You have a habit of avoiding straightforward questions.

You an hide behind whatever excuse you want, but the problem remains unresolved.

Did Trump guarantee Iran nuclear weapons when he ended restrictions?

Get lost.

 

[BlindBoo]

But you were lying when you said this: "the generals testified that to keep Bagram open we'd need at least 5,000 troops. There was no evacuation plan left by Benedict Donald for the next administration."



AI Overview
Top U.S. military leaders, including General Mark Milley and General Frank McKenzie, testified that they advised President Biden to maintain a residual force of approximately 2,500 troops in Afghanistan to prevent a Taliban takeover and to hold Bagram Air Base
. This advice contradicted President Biden's public assertion in August 2021 that none of his advisors told him to keep troops at Bagram.

Feel free to present the Evacuation Plan that Benedict Donald approved, or forwarded to the incoming administration.

Here is the generals testimony

Sec. Lloyd Austin: (23:40) So let me take each in turn. Retaining Bagram would've required putting as many as 5,000 US troops in harms way just to operate and defend it. And it would've contributed little to the mission that we've been assigned and that was to protect and defend the embassy, which was some 30 miles away. That distance from Kabul also rendered Bagram of little value in the evacuation. Staying at Bagram even for counter-terrorism purposes meant staying at war in Afghanistan, something that the president made clear that he would not do.

Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin testified on the withdrawal from Afghanistan on 9/28. Read the transcript here.

In the fall of 2020 my analysis was that an accelerated withdrawal without meeting specific and necessary conditions risks losing the substantial gains made in Afghanistan, damaging US worldwide credibility, and could precipitate a general collapse of the ANSF and the Afghan government resulting in a complete Taliban takeover or general civil war. That was a year ago. My assessment remained consistent throughout. Based on my advice and the advice of the commanders, then Secretary of Defense, Esper, submitted a memorandum on nine November recommending to maintain US forces at a level between about 2500 and 4500 in Afghanistan until conditions were met for further reduction. Two days later on 11, November, 2020, I received an unclassified signed order directing the United States military to withdraw all forces from Afghanistan no later than 15, January, 2021. Gen. Milley: (32:48) After further discussions regarding the risks associated with such a withdrawal, the order was rescinded. On 17 November we received a order, to reduce levels to 2,500 plus enabling forces no later than 15 January.

Secretary Austin, you said in response to Senator Warren that if we stayed past August 31st, we would certainly be back at war with the Taliban and that you'd have to reinforce yourself. Do I interpret your testimony to mean that staying at 2500 past the 31st was not sustainable at an acceptable level of risk to American personnel and that we would be seeing today casualties which could be accumulating at an unacceptable rate? Sec. Austin: (03:07:41) Chairman, I think the point that's been left out of a lot of the conversation is that had we stayed past that date that was agreed upon early on, that the Taliban would begin to attack us, attack our forces there. We'd have to make some decisions on how to reinforce our forces so that we could continue to operate and that would include quite possibly increasing the force there. Mr. Reed: (03:08:09) Now, in the Doha Agreement, President Trump agreed to leave with certain conditions on May 1st. Those conditions have been testified by the panel that were really never achieved, never challenged by the Trump administration. Would you consider that an abdication of or a surrender, that agreement? Sec. Austin: (03:08:37) I certainly believe that the conditions were preset and again, we met, lived up to all the things that we were obliged to do. We didn't attack them and we drew down our forces, but the Taliban, the only thing that they lived up to was that they didn't attack us. Mr. Reed: (03:08:59) And we saw a great deal of difficulty in meeting the deadline which was August 31st. Would it appear to you that a May 1st deadline as President Trump imagined would have caused more complications in terms of getting our equipment out, getting our personnel out, identifying Americans who were eligible to leave and getting them the paperwork since you would be doing it at a much shorter timeframe? Sec. Austin: (03:09:32) Yeah, I don't think that would have been feasible to do that in an orderly fashion, Chairman. Mr. Reed:

AI - Ain't Intelligent.

 

[BlindBoo]

And you were lying about Trump not having a definite plan:

1.We will withdraw our civilians first

2. Then we will bring out our allies civilians

3. Next, the Afghans who aided us, the interpreters

4. Only then, will we draw out our US troops.

5. This will be done at Bagram Military Airbase, a fully defensible airport.

Under Biden: “The Bagram district governor, Darwish Raufi, expressed irritation with not being included in the process. He said in a statement that the U.S. military left “without coordinating with security and defense forces and in general without coordinating” with the Afghan government and officials in Bagram district.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2021/07/02/bagram-afghanistan-biden-war/



You just lie for the Democrats, huh?

The Generals testified as to why that Airbase was not appropriate for the evacuation.

Where was his plan when he ordered the complete evacuation by Jan 15th? He had already reduced our troop strength to 4,500 before the election.

You should ask AI where Benedict Donald's plan was and what it prescribed.

Hahaha. The only contingency plan drawn up by the military were not ordered by Benedict Donald.

"The Pentagon recently began drawing up plans for an abrupt withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan in case President Donald Trump surprises military leaders by ordering an immediate drawdown as he did in Syria, three current and former defense officials said."

Officials cautioned, however, that the planning is a precaution and there is currently no White House directive to pull all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan.

Benedict never forwarded a plan to the incoming administration. It was done on purpose to make it hard on the Military and the new Administration. He even bragged about what he did

"Afghanistan, where, by the way, I started the process. All the troops are coming back home. They couldn't stop the process. Donald Trump: (22:53) 21 years is enough. Don't we think? 21 years. They couldn't stop the process. They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process when other things...yeah. Thank you. Thank you. It's a shame."

Prior to that suggestion, they warned Benedict Donald in 2020...."an accelerated withdrawal without meeting specific and necessary conditions risks losing the substantial gains made in Afghanistan, damaging US worldwide credibility, and could precipitate a general collapse of the ANSF and the Afghan government resulting in a complete Taliban takeover or general civil war."

But Donnie did it anyway didn't he?

They also explained in their testimony that 2,500 troops was not a sustainable number. That's all the Troops that Benedict wanted to leave for Biden. Biden couldn't just stay at that number, it would have to increased when the truce ran out.
