President Biden is scheduled to speak at 5 p.m. this afternoon, with a Jen Psaki press conference shortly after that. The State Department canceled their briefing, but Pentagon officials took some questions. One of those people briefing reporters was CENTCOM Commander, Gen. Ken McKenzie, Jr.
The CENTCOM commander addressed questions about 12 U.S. military personnel who were killed (and many others injured) in explosions outside the Kabul airport today, and the Biden administration’s deal with the Taliban to help provide security. Gen. McKenzie said the U.S. has been sharing information with the Taliban for a while now:
Lucas Tomlinson ~ U.S. general says since Aug. 14 the U.S. military has been sharing “information with the Taliban,” to prevent attacks.
General McKenzie said the U.S. will continue to coordinate with the Taliban:
Ragıp Soylu ~ CENTCOM Commander: “We will continue to coordinate with the Taliban on preventing terrorist attacks.”
Ian Miles Cheong @ stillgray.substack.com ~ "I don't think there's anything to convince me that [the Taliban] let it happen." CENTCOM Gen. McKenzie says "we share a common purpose" with the Taliban, which has been "useful to work with" because they "cut our security concerns down."
Is this a joke?
Yes, our "woke" military commanders are most definitely a JOKE.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw and Ben Shapiro don’t see this as an effective strategy, to say the least:
Dan Crenshaw ~ US CENTCOM Commander: we are communicating with the Taliban to “make sure they know what we expect them to do to protect us.”
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Unleash our military power NOW.
Ben Shapiro ~ The head of CENTCOM is now explaining that we have relied on the Taliban for security in Kabul. Yes, relying on the Taliban to stop terrorism. This seems like a viable strategy.
Suffice to say, others also have thoughts about that approach.
Bill Melugin ~ It’s bizarre listening to the commander of CENTCOM say we are relying on the Taliban to protect us and we are sharing intelligence with them.
Rising serpent ~ How's sharing information with the people who want us dead working out for the woke military so far?
TheAmishOne ~ This is the definition of treason. We need names.
Code of Vets ™ ~ We are coordinating with the terrorists. I am simply at a loss.
