House Republicans' 600-Page Report Criticizes Biden Administration's Afghanistan Withdrawal, 13 American Service Members Killed
Sep 9, 2024, 06:06 PM
House Republicans have released a comprehensive 600-page report criticizing the Biden administration's handling of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. The report, led by Rep. Michael McCaul, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, alleges that the administration prioritized the optics of withdrawal over the security of U.S. personnel, leading to the deaths of 13 American service members. The investigation accuses the Biden administration of ignoring military advice, NATO objections, and Afghan pleas, and misleading the public about the chaotic exit. The report also notes that no officials, including Vice President Harris, have been held accountable for the failures. The White House has pushed back against the report, with officials like John Kirby defending the administration's actions and attributing some of the blame to the previous Trump administration's deal with the Taliban.
