Colonel Chris Douglas was part of the classified report on the recent military withdrawal. Recently, he expressed his views on the current state of the House investigation into this topic. He stated that the lack of swift progress could be due to the administration's lack of assistance. He also pointed out that sifting through the chain of information to determine what was provided to whom and when, makes it a laborious task.
Furthermore, the Colonel disputed claims that the President was never briefed on the possible disastrous effects of the withdrawal strategy. He believes it is impossible that the military heads at central command were not in direct communication with the President on such matters.
