There are now 3 Dem led subcommittees on the withdrawal from Afghanistan

New: Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Menendez (D-N.J.) says he’ll “seek a full accounting” of the Biden admin’s “flawed execution of the U.S. withdrawal.”

That makes *three* Dem-led Senate committees vowing oversight of how the Biden team bungled the withdrawal.


Menendez: “I am disappointed that the Biden administration clearly did not accurately assess the implications of a rapid U.S. withdrawal. We are now witnessing the horrifying results of many years of policy and intelligence failures.”

Menendez says the review will also look at how the Afghan army “collapsed so quickly,” calling it “astounding.”

“Congress was told repeatedly that the Afghan Defense and Security Forces were up to the task… The American and Afghan people clearly have not been told the truth…”




I hope they investigate Trump and Ghani as well . Why put the blame entirely on Biden when they don't know what happened?

1. 'Democrats seek full accounting...'

12. Lol.

2. So, there are elected Democrats critical of execution of withdrawal plan.

5. Investigate? Absolutely ... Come out the gate firing with verbiage saying, in essence

Biden f***ed it all up?

Not a good move IMHO.

4. If this was 2018 the RePuQ's would be leading a committee to determine just how it was possible

that the IQ45 administration did such a wonderful job executing the withdrawal.

Under the same circumstances on the ground in Afghanistan, mind you.

Our side really is terrible at politics sometimes.

Not that we shouldn't investigate, we should ... but this is NOT smart framing.

7. Democrats are really bad at optics. It's like we eat our own.

6. Gee, maybe they'll push to Impeach him

To show that they’re, you know, tough on stuff. Or something.

10. This made me laugh, in an ironic way.

8. They obviously have an abundance of spare time.

It's not like MF45, his family, and his corrupt administration committed enough crimes to keep more than one committee busy. . .

Gotta find something to do.

9. The Chairman of Sen Foreign Relations didn't know anything?

What the fuck has he been doing, aside from shoveling more $$ to the military?

[JoanofArgh]

11. Good point.

13. The Military Industrial Complex Is The Biggest Loser In Biden Ending This War.....

I'm sure the pressure is coming from MIC to blame Biden. They won't have that money fountain that they've benefited from over the last 20 years. So IMHO this is all about money. That's why we see this piling on of Biden.

Actually it took a lot of courage on Biden's part to end this war. During its duration - 4 other Presidents were not willing to take the heat that Biden is taking for this now. They knew that they would have faced what Biden is facing now by way of criticism. So they took the easier way out. They basically lied to us.

Think of what we could have done here in the U.S. with all the money that went into this Afghanistan war.

Wars are messy to begin with. Ending them also happens to be messy.

Whether we pulled out of Afghanistan fast or pulled out slow or more controlled - the results would be pretty much the same.

I believe the Biden Administration will ultimately handle this withdrawal well.

Pulling out slower would have just prolonged the trepidation and agony.

14. What they will find out is how

the Slobfather fucked up the entire withdrawal.
I smell Slobby sabotage all over this. Maybe they'll finally get him for treason

[luvs2sing]

15. Slobby sabotage..damn right!

That was my first thought, and nothing has changed my mind.

16. The withdrawal was "bungled" because the Afghan leadership fled and the Army

18. omfg, but how long did it take to get committee for 1/6 terrorism?

[Klaralven]

19. Democrats have their own globalist, PNAC sympathizing wing of the party

20. Like I've said dems are tigers when they're chasing their own tails but kittens when the chase

Tails that are not.
