the chaos that ensued followed the collapse of the military and the collapse of the government. when those two things happened, then it was going to be a chaotic situation. >> the collapse of the government and military was the sole responsibility of this administration. i know you are trying to be careful politically but it was the state department and white house that told you how to make the drawdown of troops. it was the speed with which they carried out that order is what caused the chaos that we have. if they had allowed to d.o.d. to be in a command situation we wouldn't have had this problem. general mckenzie said the reason he couldn't keep draw down he had to draw down to 650 troops to keep the airport and the state department safe. the state department and white house caused this cat astrophe, not the d.o.d.
