House Foreign Affairs Republicans are defending their report blasting the Biden administration for the botched U.S. military withdrawal in Afghanistan, following pushback from the White House this week.
President Joe Biden’s rush for the exit last year ended with a chaotic evacuation and the Taliban back in power, and a new House GOP report argued Biden's choices"led to tragic yet avoidable outcomes: 13 dead service members, American lives still at great risk, increased threats to our homeland security, tarnished standing abroad for years to come, and emboldened enemies across the globe.
The GOP report did address the Taliban deal, and Rep. Michael McCaul , the House Foreign Affairs Committee's ranking member, said the White House was"disingenuous" in using that flawed deal to exonerate Biden. But the GOP report argued the agreement “was predicated on conditions by the Taliban that were not being met” and pointed to the provision that “the Taliban will not allow any of its members, other individuals or groups, including al-Qaeda, to use the soil of Afghanistan to threaten the security of the United States and its allies.”
The White House memo also argued the withdrawal “strengthened our national security" and"put the United States in a stronger place to lead the world.” Biden had promised in the days after Kabul fell that “if there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay to get them all out." Biden administration officials soon claimed there were only around 100 Americans who had been left behind.
