Part 1/2
Well, I think "AmericanMilitaryNews.com" is compromised.
They mischaracterized Secretary of State Pompeo's remarks to Megan Kelly.
The headline of the article reads:
Pompeo suggests Gen. Milley may have lied under oath to Congress; ‘No recollection of what he described’
BUT WHAT POMPEO ACTUALLY SAID IS NOT ONLY DIFFERENT FROM THE HEADLINE, BUT POMPEO SUGGESTED THAT IT IS WOODWARD AND COSTA WHO LIED, NOT MILLEY.
Here is a transcript of Pompeo's comments in the video imbedded within the website that I wrote down while listening:
After playing a clip of Milley saying he informed Secretary of State Pompeo and Chief of Staff Meadows that he made a call with General Li:
Megan Kelly (MK): "So did that happen?"
Mike Pompeo (MP): "You know I think the disconnect here Megan is the subject of what was actually said [on the call]. I haven't seen General Milley knock down what Woodward and Costa wrote. Having said that I know Woodward and Costa well enough that you should take everything they write with an enormous grain of salt. The fact General Milley chose to speak with them at such great length, I find deeply troubling. But in any event, someone needs to explain what's the disconnect. I heard what General Milley said he actually talked about on the call with the Chinese, his Chinese counterparts, and I've read what has reportedly going to be in this book, um,those aren't remotely the same,and I think that's what it gets to, I have no recollection of General Milley briefing me in the way he described, but if he said 'I spoke with my Chinese counterparts yesterday', that wouldn't have been something particularly memorable, it would have been relatively ordinary course. I spoke with my Chinese counterparts from time to time as well, every senior leader in America would do that. But it's the substance Megan, this is what you got to, and when I saw some of the questions about yesterday…If he in fact said ‘we will not attack you until we warn you,’ that’s just nutty."
(The author of the article 'Liz George' completely mischaracterized Pompeo's statement "aren't remotely the same". Pompeo was clearly referring to the difference between what he heard Milley said, and what Woodward and Costa said Milley said, NOT what Milley testified and what Milley told Pompeo.)
