About Those Calls

As you know, President Trump was impeached over a phone call in which he asked the leader of Ukraine to find out the truth about alleged corruption.  Joe Biden called the former president of Afghanistan and urged him to lie about the national security situation there, and we got crickets from the media. 

General Michael Flynn called the Russian ambassador during the transition period to discuss issues relevant to his role as the incoming national security adviser. Flynn was destroyed by the media and the left. 

General Milley called a Chinese general during the election and offered to give him a heads up on our military actions. The left-wing media are applauding Milley.

So far, the source of the Milley reports is famed Watergate journalist Bob Woodward. But I think the American people deserve to see the transcripts of his call. (Exactly how did Woodward get his hands on the transcript?) 

The Pentagon insists it was all above board. Fine. Then release the transcript and let the American people decide.

By the way, there's something else in Bob Woodward's new book, but you're probably not going to hear much about it on the evening news. According to Woodward, Biden lied when he said the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan was "unanimous."

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Blinken objected to Biden's withdrawal plan, but he overruled them. In a press conference last month, Pentagon leaders made it clear that they were ordered to abandon Bagram Air Force Base and protect the embassy, which was relocated to the Kabul airport. 

In short, Biden gave the military an impossible task and then said everyone agreed to it. Milley and other top commanders should have resigned then. 

But there is a long and growing list of reasons for Milley to resign. He needs to go now. He must understand that at least half the country no longer trusts him for undermining President Trump and then betraying our troops on the ground in Kabul to Joe Biden's incompetence.
