This Week with Gosar
One year ago this week, Joe Biden oversaw one of the worst foreign policy decisions in United States history. Biden, along with his incompetent woke military leadership, made the disastrous decision to unconditionally withdraw troops from Afghanistan and surrender over $80 billion in equipment to the Taliban. On August 15, 2021, while Biden was vacationing, Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. Days earlier Biden boldly claimed it was “highly unlikely†the Taliban would take power, despite the U.S. military and U.S. intelligence community warning repeatedly this is exactly what would happen.
Due to Mr. Biden’s incompetence and poor military leadership, he failed to secure the airport perimeter and allowed a suicide bomber to enter resulting in the needless death of 13 American service members. This public humiliation of our country was the result of incompetency, negligence and ineptitude. Despite promising: “There’s going to be no circumstances where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States in Afghanistan,†Biden failed to plan for all contingencies. As a result, we know that he left behind more than 1,000 American citizens. This week, a damning report by Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee illustrated that the Biden administration waited until the final hours on how to evacuate American citizens before losing to the Taliban in Afghanistan. In other words, until it was too late.
Instead, Biden gathered over 100,000 Afghanis and flew them to America. None were vetted and many turned out to be on terrorist watch lists. The fallout from the botched withdrawal has made America less safe while emboldening our adversaries.
Congress should be holding multiple hearings on this colossal failure, yet the Biden administration has repeatedly ignored Republican requests for documentation and information from the State Department and democrats who control congress refuse to hold any hearings. back...
