‘Senior State Department officials are concerned not only about what a withdrawal will mean for the counterterrorism mission but also about the security of U.S. diplomats based there’

EXCERPT:

SCIUTTO: “In his decision to pull all U.S. troops from Afghanistan, CNN has learned that President Biden went against the advice of some of his most senior advisers. Multiple military and administration officials tell myself and colleagues Kylie Atwood and Kevin Liptak that leaders, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley, the Head of U.S. Central Command General Frank McKenzie and senior state Department officials are concerned not only about what a withdrawal will mean for the counterterrorism mission but also about the security of U.S. diplomats based there.”
