that has always been denied. then we got a leaked e mail yesterday from the foreign office, via the foreign affairs select committee, which included a phrase along the lines of the prime minister has authorised the evacuation of the people and the animals. and it said it was the prime minister s decision, so it very, in black and white, you know, said that the prime minister was involved. and when we were discussing this on the last episode of newscast, we said it would be interesting to see what the prime minister says when he is asked about it and he was asked about it today on a trip to wales. did you authorise evacuating animals out of kabul? no! this whole thing is total rhubarb. the military always prioritised human beings and that was quite right. the thing is that is not quite the issue, is it? no! the prioritisation is separate from was he in some way involved in that decision making chain? it is quite a bizarre story, this, and the reason it is problematic is notjust becaus
and he was asked about it today on a trip to wales. did you authorise evacuating animals out of kabul? no! this whole thin- is total rhubarb. the military always prioritised human beings and that was quite right. the thing is that is not quite the issue, is it? no! the prioritisation is separate from was he in some way involved in that decision making chain? it is quite a bizarre story, this, and the reason it is problematic is notjust because no one quite knows who is telling the truth and one of the animal welfare campaigners was speaking again on the bbc this morning and he said the prime minister absolutely was involved and he s been saying that for months, hasn t he? ..and he even said, i wish he would just say it, because i am really proud of what we did! he should be proud about helping to achieve this thing of getting these animals and the staff from the charity out of kabul. but it is the timing of it, it is awkward for number 10, even if you think it isjust a bit of a weird
of the questions about how could this have happened, what led to this breakdown in decision making, why did we find ourselves in the situation for this chaotic withdrawal where we find 13 americans killed in a situation that was completely avoidable? we deserve answers to those questions, and i want to hear from everybody up and down the decision making chain, from general miller to general mckenzie who were adamant about saying you can t withdraw this way, to general milley and others. i want to hear from folks in the state department, secretary blinken, i want to hear from jake suggesting van. all those folks need to testify about they they said to the president and how we find ourselves in this position with a complete breakdown in decision making and a dereliction of duty on behalf of this administration. molly: potentially 20 years of lookback, but i want to look ahead to 2022 for just a moment. the supply chain challenges. the ball s going to drop,2022, fresh beginning sometimes
communist party and usurped the role of the commander in chief and basically said, i was there to defuse the situation. so he didn t misinterpret anything. that s not his job. i mean, if the commander in chief s role is to be strategically misinterpreted, that s a strategy. you may not like it, but that s not his job. but later on, did you catch it. he s in the decision-making chain there, no big deal. later on when asked about the decision to withdraw from bagram, he passed the buckment. i m not a decision maker, i m a conduit. are you a conduit or decision maker? surprised no one caught it. two contradictory things. greg: another contradiction. he doesn t talk to anybody about the conversations he had with the president. that s how he got out of the today.
the arrest of a prominent lieutenant general? i kind of i find it kind of odd now that it s the same scenario yet involves possible nuclear war and same lefties who condemned mike flynn for a phone call 1/1,000th of the magnitude of this are all of a sudden trying to get mark mill lay pass. give me a break. i know you are frauds on the left side of the media. at least try to hide it sometimes. mark milley has no function in making these there is a decision-making chain. lawrence, it s not bottom up. it s top down. the president makes the decision as the commander-in-chief. we have a civilian led military and the decision is implemented downward links of the chain. mark milley seems to think the decision is from the bottom up. that he makes the decision to do things and then it finally gets back to the president what he feels like telling him. this man has got to to resign. he has lost all credibility. and as i said, if he said to the chinese government and he denies it, to give bot
