Rep. McCaul Leads GOP Rebuke of Biden's Afghanistan Withdrawal, Resulting in 13 American Lives Lost
Sep 9, 2024, 05:34 PM
U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul is leading congressional Republicans' rebuke of President Joe Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan, accusing the administration of recklessness and covering up its mistakes. The withdrawal, which resulted in the loss of 13 American lives, has been widely criticized by various figures, including Rep. Langworthy, who called it a betrayal, and Rep. Burgess Owens, who noted that the Biden-Harris administration scrapped a plan that protected American troops. The House Foreign Affairs Committee's report indicates that Biden was committed to withdrawing no matter the consequences. The chaotic withdrawal left American allies vulnerable, handed billions in weapons to the Taliban, and caused global embarrassment. The process was initially started by President Trump, and the disaster claimed the lives of three heroes from Southern California.
