Top Democrat on Senate committee slams Biden admin, US withdrawal from Afghanistan
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday blasted the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra) ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...over its handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and threatened to subpoena the US defense secretary to testify. During the second day of a committee hearing on Afghanistan to question Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Senator Bob Menendez revealed that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin refused to testify. But Menendez said he might subpoena Austin "in the near future" if he does not step forward to testify. "I expect that the [Defense] Secretary will avail himself to the committee in the near future. If he does not, I may consider the use of the committee’s subpoena power to compel him and others over the course of these last 20 years to testify," Menendez said. "A full accounting of the US response to this crisis is not complete without the Pentagon, especially when it comes to understanding the complete collapse of the US-trained and funded Afghan military," he added. While Menendez said the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan was the right move, he said the manner in which it was carried out was wrong. The US withdrawal was "clearly and fatally flawed." The Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... took over within days despite US intelligence reports suggesting that the Afghan government and army would be able to fend for themselves for at least two months. And since then, the US has refused to recognize the Taliban-run government despite ongoing communication between the murderous Moslems and US officials. Posted by: Fred 2021-09-15 |
