The hasty action ordered by President Biden was a shit show…..
While Biden was able to do something other President’s didn’t…
The actual action was hurried, poorly planned and executed….
The move has cost Joe Biden polling approval he is just starting to recover from….
America still has thousands of migrants from that country helped it’s forces there waiting to emigrate to the United State as promised…
Bringing the screw up back into focus will undoubtedly hurt Biden…..
The top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday requested from the State Department a vast number of documents related to the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, marking the official launch of the newly Republican-led panel’s investigation into the chaotic exit.
Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, gave the department a deadline of January 26 to respond. He threatened the power of subpoena if the department does not comply.
“It is imperative that the State Department provide complete responses to these longstanding requests, and the Committee will not tolerate continued delay,” McCaul wrote to Secretary of State Tony Blinken in a letter reviewed by CNN. “In the event of noncompliance, the Committee will use the authorities available to it to enforce these requests as necessary, including through compulsory process.”…

In addition to digging into the planning that went into the withdrawal, and the withdrawal process, the letter makes it clear that the committee is interested in probing the after-effects of the withdrawal….

McCaul and Republican colleagues on the committee sent the department at least three requests for similar information last year. But during that time McCaul was in the minority and the department did not provide the information requested.
The Republicans on the committee went ahead with a report into the withdrawal last year, despite not having access to documents or interviews with State Department officials. But now that Republicans are in the majority in the House, they have more power to wield and can legally require the administration to give them information..
Note…
One hope’s the foocus on the Afghan withdrawal will NOT be lost on those thinking about the same thing for the Ukraine…..
