House Republicans Release 600-Page Report Criticizing Biden's Afghanistan Withdrawal, 13 American Lives Lost
Sep 9, 2024, 12:40 AM
House Republicans have released a comprehensive report criticizing President Joe Biden's administration for its handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. The 600-page report, which is the result of a three-year investigation by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accuses the administration of misleading the public and ignoring military advice, leading to a chaotic and deadly withdrawal. The report highlights the loss of 13 American lives and details numerous missed warnings and instances of complacency. Republicans argue that the decision to remove all troops regardless of conditions was reckless and deadly. Democrats are expected to issue a counter-report, pointing to mistakes made by both parties.
