Horizon just is no longer is credible an argument that it was. the military has been assuring us, intelligence community, that we can handle this and what weve seen really calls that into question. you do need people on the ground. there is an effort under way to try to get much closer than the uae or other places in the gulf, thats what the conversations with the russians are about. who knows where they are about. qatar and turkey are key intermediaries for us in trying to figure this out. i do...

Military has made that case for hypersonic weapons. there will be a lot of people — hypersonic weapons. there will be a lot of people who — hypersonic weapons. there will be a lot of people who do _ hypersonic weapons. there will be a lot of people who do not _ hypersonic weapons. there will be a i lot of people who do not understand the reasons that we give for wanting to build more and more missiles. as a missile like this a deterrent with men not of nuclear weapons were deterrent?— men ...

The horizon counterterrorism mis missions. is that true? >> senator, this is an issue that i believe came up during our conversation that the president had with president putin where president putin offered to offer -- to provide assistance. >> but have you reached out to the russians asking specifically to use bases? >> general milley just recently had a conversation with his russian counterpart -- >> so the reports are true that have been coming out today? >> i can assure you that, you know, w...

Was nothing more than common sense for several communications to be made to the chinese, including a milley to his counterpart conversation to say, dont believe what you read in the newspapers. so those who say that milley violated the civilian control of the military, undercut the chain of command, betrayed the predon one hand, and those who say milley saved the country from a psychopath on the other are both wrong. milley did his duty. >> do you think former president trump was mentally unstab...

V. specific military lessons we have to take a hard look at. the united states military was tasked under the 2002 agreement to train, man, and equip the afghan army. the germans were required to train, arm, and equip the afghan police. as we built that army and all its components, i think that one error we may have made over time as we made them too dependent on technology, too dependent on our capabilities, didnt take in the cultural aspects as much as we should have, and mirror imaged. thats a...

Again what it said. >> we have lost 90% of intelligence collection capabilities it had using drones before the draw down. >> i would have to look at my information, i am determining the level of irs in statistics. it is significant, i dont know about 90%. >> on the sids and folks in afghanistan, is it fair to say human intelligence network, given the current status and the fact many left behind, fair to say that has been stressed more than drone capabilities do we have much in afghanistan today?...

That iran having capabilities in the nuclear area is a danger in itself. but that is a political thing. and im not getting into that political thing. what im telling you is that what we can see is exactly where iran is, and what makes the present moment so important — and here, i would agree with the note of, i would say, preoccupation — is that, if we were to be limited in the scope, in the access that we have to iran, then we would start losing ground and losing the capability to know exac...

Early on. specific military lessons, we have to take a hard look at. the united states military was tasked under the 2002 bon agreement to train, man, and equip the afghan army. the germans were required to train, man, and equip the afghan police. as we built that army and all of its components, i think that one error we may have made over time is we made them too dependent on technology, too dependent on our capabilities. we didnt take in the cultural aspects perhaps as much as we should have a...

Decisions in front of lawmakers. now we are going to get to see lawmakers publicly for the first time getting to ask these questions directly to the top military leadership, the top leadership that was in charge of planning and executing this chaotic withdrawal. and the questions are going to range from asking them about did it really have to be this way, isa. was there no sue alternative really. what did they advise president biden. what was their advice on keeping a residual force in the count...

About over the horizon and the capabilities as we look to the future and whats available there. but i think its what were seeing in the reports today about asking to use russian bases, thats just another example of the biden administration that have left us in taeshl position that we have to ask them to keep us safe from terrorists and ask them to use their installations. >> and were not asking the russians for anything. >> but youre negotiating to trying to get these bases to be able to use the...
