bagram impossible and would everybody in the pentagon agree with that rationale? it s not just impossible, it was counter to the mission and the order that they were given. okay, so, the military was given the order to withdraw all u.s. troops from afghanistan pie a certain date. first september 11th and then august 31st. the only military presence supposed to be on the ground there was defending the embassy. when the military leaders particularly general miller looked at that and said, okay, well, i need somewhere between 600 to 800 u.s. troops to defend the embassy, we re going to have to have an airport. as part of an embassy presence you need to do have a safe airport to do an evacuation from. kabul airport is much closer to the airport than bagram was and that made the sense to keep security presence there to maintain a safe airport. it wasn t something, again, as
that. but to set it with the aba to ask you a question that you know the answer to that you are going to give out to make this big announcement. and not to have the director, miller, to come out and say it that s why i happening the whole thing was just really a charade in how they did it. does it make you more suspicious, the way they rolled it out. or is it clumsy handling of a p.r. event? it makes me more suspicious. it s one thing to clumsily handle a press conference, you go out and give it. but to have someone set up, asking you a question in a conference, knowing it s going to be picked up, doing it that way. you think about it. you had to plot this out, greta. it wasn t something where you clipsily did something. wouldn t have you thought, months before, that that would have been a good plot on a solution like this, admit what is going on. exactly. that would have been a much better way to handle it. it would have been the best way to handle it.
attempted coverup is climbing higher. everyone is wondering how high up it does go. okay. so it s interesting, they are investigating the irs and one of the people who knows something is this woman named paz. apparently, she sat in when they were interviewing, you are a former prosecutor, what do you think about this? i think it s absurd. you would never conduct an objective investigation with someone who is going to be a witness to all of this and toas a supervisor. this is a person you report. to you are asking the people to be straight. you might have to implicate her. no one will conduct an investigation this way. it just doesn t make any sense. you know what i find peculiar is the fact that on about the friday before the i.g. report came out, which showed the targeting, is that lois lerper appears before a meeting at the american bar association and she found some patsy, some woman
it would have been a much more truthful way to handle it. frankly, i think it would have made people feel less suspicious about what s happening right now. the more we find out, the more questions there are. even with the testimony of holly paz, how it contradicts what miller and lerner said about washington s knowledge about what was happening. they wanted to stick it to cincinnati. exactly. the other thing she is reported as saying and i haven t seen the transcripts myself. but she is reported as saying that, that that in sort of rolling this out, is that it was something was being done by others. she is like, she clearly sets herself exonerates herself from this. she said, when we had any discussion, it was about a brand, like kleenex, but only one liberal group, versus 300, according to my last guest. from what i saw, she was trying to claim tea party was a generic term for political groups, which strikes me as
