The only thing missing is a rainbow flag.

We know Biden and Kamala are total idiots. But General Milley may be the biggest of them all.

Here are his views of Afghanistan and the Taliban about a month before the Taliban took over.

Political Article 7/21/21

The nation's top general on Wednesday expressed confidence in the Afghan security forces' ability to fend off a takeover by the Taliban, despite significant gains by the group across the country and reports that Kabul could fall in a matter of months.

"I don’t think the end game is yet written," Gen. Mark Milley, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters during a Wednesday briefing at the Pentagon. "A negative outcome, a Taliban automatic takeover, is not a foregone conclusion."

Milley defended the strategy of the Afghan national security forces, who he said are consolidating to protect the major population centers, where most Afghan civilians are located.

He contested the narrative that "the Taliban is winning," saying the group is "propagating an inevitable victory" and "dominating the airwaves."
