United States CentCom Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie undercut President Joe Biden’s claims during a Tuesday hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Despite Biden’s claims to the contrary, McKenzie said that he had advised the president against a rapid and complete withdrawal from Afghanistan, arguing that the end result would likely be a complete takeover by the Taliban and the collapse of both the Afghan Security Forces and the Afghan government.
Republican Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe asked McKenzie to address recommendations made to Biden about the possibility of leaving troops in Afghanistan.
