Biden lyin'?: Top U.S. general in Afghanistan contradicts Joe's claim

President Biden has insisted that his military advisers did not advise him to keep a residual force in Afghanistan to avoid a total collapse of the U.S.-backed government.

The general who commanded U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan told senators Tuesday he declared his opposition to Biden's complete withdrawal to the top military brass.

In an interview last month, Biden told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that "No one" suggested leaving troops in Afghanistan to avoid a total collapse.

"Clearly President Biden didn't listen to all military advice," Inhofe said.

Inhofe said Miller didn't express his dissent directly to Biden "Because the president wasn't there" at the meeting of the top chain of command.

The Washington Post reported in mid-August that Miller warned against a total pullout "Months before Biden unveiled his withdrawal decision."

The Post reported, Secretary of State Austin also warned Biden against withdrawal, contending a collapse of the American-backed government would be the likely result.
