Miller was appointed as acting defense secretary by US President Donald Trump on Monday.

 

He said in a memo to his department that the US is committed to defeating al-Qaeda and is “on the verge of defeating” the group.

 

“Many are weary of war – I’m one of them,” he wrote in the message posted on the US Defense Department website on Saturday. “But this is the critical phase in which we transition our efforts from a leadership to supporting role.”

 

Miller said, “Ending wars requires compromise and partnership. We met the challenge; we gave it our all. Now, it’s time to come home.”

 

Trump has been pushing for the withdrawal of his troops from Afghanistan by Christmas during his campaign.

 

The United States signed a peace deal with the Taliban on February 29 and agreed on the gradual withdrawal of its forces from Afghanistan. But Trump last month said the troops should be home by Christmas.

 

The new Pentagon chief did not mention specific US troop deployments, but the reference to al-Qaeda appeared to single out Afghanistan and Iraq, where US troops were deployed after the September 11 attacks.

Wasn't he fired for lying?

McCabe was the FBI’s second-in-command when the bureau opened its investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election. McCabe has emphatically defended the probe, even though a special counsel’s investigation determined that the Trump team did not conspire with Russia.

 

But he now insists, without providing evidence, that the intelligence community possesses information that is damning to Trump.

 

“There is some very, very serious, very specific undeniable intelligence that has not come out that if it were released would risk compromising our access to that sort of information in the future. I think it would also risk casting the president in a very negative light,” McCabe said in an interview on CNN, where he serves as a law enforcement analyst.
