Wow, throwing the First Lady and the Pope under the bus. The Deep State must be panicking.
Declassified remarks made by Rear Adm. Peter Vasely, the top U.S. commander in Kabul during the evacuation of U.S. troops last August, reveal that he was plagued during the evacuation by requests from first lady Jill Biden and Pope Francis, among others, who requested special treatment for people of their own choosing.
Vasely was asked by the Army’s lead investigator, Brig. Gen. Lance Curtis, if reports that the Pope and the first lady had asked for special help were true. He answered, “That’s accurate. I was being contacted by representatives from the Holy See to assist the Italian military contingent … in getting through groups … of special interest to the Vatican. That is just one of many examples. I cannot stress enough how these high-profile requests ate up bandwidth and created competition for already stressed resources,” as The Washington Post reported.
Vasely added, “You had everyone from the White House down with a new flavor of the day for prioritization.”
“Vasely called the outreach a ‘distraction’ that ‘created competition for already stressed resources,’” the Post, which obtained the 2,000 page report through a FOIA request, stated. His statements were made during testimony for a U.S. Army investigation of the August 26 suicide bombing that killed 13 U.S. service members outside Kabul’s international airport.
Despite the fact that on August 22, President Biden promised that no American who wanted to leave would be left behind, declaring, “I will say again today [what] I have said before: Any American who wants to get home will get home,” Vasely told investigators that by August 22 or 23, “it was clear we weren’t going to get all Americans out.” He added that he “started having conversations at senior levels” of the U.S. government about the possibility of pushing the evacuation efforts past the August 31 deadline.
