The House Republican memebers of the the Foreign Affairs Committee will be releasing their report on the American pull out from Afghanistan a year ago….
It will NOT be pretty….
It wasn’t….
Most of the information has been in the media….
Biden carried out Trump’s order to leave the place….
The way things were done was a disgrace…..
Biden’s approval has since taken a hit….
He deserved it…..
He is a good man….
That was NOT his finest hour…..
The exit could and should have been done better….
A draft of their report, provided to The Washington Post, contains new details about the number of Americans left behind when the last military transport departed Kabul’s international airport and the paucity of State Department officers on hand to process the tens of thousands of Afghans trying to flee the Taliban’s takeover. But overall, there are few major revelations.
A Republican aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the committee, said that was because the State Department refused to turn over documents or consent to interviews, leaving investigators to rely on public records and materials provided by whistleblowers. A spokesman for the agency said in response that officials had briefed Congress more than 150 times since the withdrawal, and continue to update lawmakers on efforts to relocate and resettle Afghans.

This is NOT gonna help Biden….
No one argues against leaving…
It was the ‘way’ it was done…..
The White House is firing back at a GOP report slamming the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan by circulating its own memo arguing the decision strengthened national security and did not compromise the United States’ ability to extinguish terrorist threats.
The White House memo, which dismisses the GOP report as “partisan” and “riddled” with inaccuracies, lays out Biden’s logic for ending America’s longest war and pushes back on specific claims in the report led by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee….
More…
My Name Is Jack says
Oh cow manure.
How should it have been “done?”
jamesb says
The way the military and Congress suggested over a longer period with a residual force left for a while…
The withdrawal was horrible…..
Again?
Biden payed for his mistake in approval numbers drop afterwards….
The images tell the story
My Name Is Jack says
So we should have exposed American soldiers For this gang of hoodlums called the Afghan “government” and to support the so called Afghan “army.”
They lasted how long?
A week?
Of course they never really existed ,just sort of a mirage that we created.
Good God warmongers like you are totally disgusting.
Those hoodlums and that “army” weren’t worth a single hour of one American life.
I do always like it when you’re with the Republicans though.
jamesb says
Jack?
You miss my point entirely…..
My complaint against Biden is his execution on the withdrawal
It was ill done …..
From Biden refusing to listen to advice about HOW it should be done time wise and the logistics
It was a fuckup
Plain and simple…..
Should the US be propping up the place?
Nope…..
Could the US be helping the place?
Maybe
Jack?
The US is still extracted people left behind a year later…..
U seem to have no heart for them, eh?
My Name Is Jack says
Yes we all recognize your “heart” for the American soldiers whom you advocated Remaining as a what was that again?Ah yes a “residual force” and putting their lives on the line as the hoodlums you called a “government “stashed the loot in their pockets as they fled and the bought and paid for Afghan “army “peeled their uniforms off when they realized the money spigot was about to be turned off.
As for the “people left behind?” Anyone who believes that a slug like you gave a damn about them?Is dumber than you are! And that is saying something!
jamesb says
Again?
U miss the point….
Please Google the images of the people trying to get out….
Please check on the fact that 800 Americans have been brought out in thge year since Biden pulled the rug….
I assume you don’t care about their lives either?
jamesb says
And YES….
I have NO problem with having American military in away places to protect me and u here….
DAMN REAL…..
My Name Is Jack says
Oh now we are getting somewhere…
Tell us how was the military in Afghan “protecting”you slug?
And if they were in fact “protecting” you?
Why did you supposedly support their withdrawal?
What? didn’t want to be “protected” anymore.
And can thee “don’t get your point” garbage.I fully get your “point”
You love these wars!
You’ve been a warmonger for all the years you’ve been blowing off your baloney here and you’re too much of a moral coward to admit it but every once in awhile it sneaks in like you just did abi e.
jamesb says
By having US military and intelligence assets abroad?
Will listen , see and maybe deal with situations before they would come to America….
I’m not going to get anywhere with u….
U ARE anti anything military……
They serve a purpose
Without them America would be overran and u might be happy
But would without much of what u take for granted……
My Name Is Jack says
What really needs to be”investigated” is the upper echelon of the military who were telling Biden that they “Afghan “army” could hold on for six months or more.
Of course when the military makes idiots like that clown Michael Flynn a General?You have to wonder exactly how dumb they are.
jamesb says
On the past bull shit about the US ?
I agree…..
Some where selling their bosses shit sandwich’s
