Last night, Joe Biden failed to mention his catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
 
MAKE NO MISTAKE: In this new Republican House Majority, we will leave no stone unturned in our effort to provide Congressional oversight on this deadly withdrawal and honor the 13 brave service members who lost their lives serving our country.
 
THE FACTS ABOUT BIDEN'S FAILED WITHDRAWAL:  

1. On Jul. 8, 2021, Joe Biden said: "There's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan." 
   1. In fact, It was actually much worse. 
2. Over 1,000 Americans were abandoned behind enemy lines in Afghanistan for months at the mercy of the Taliban. 
   1. The Administration admitted initially that they did not know how many Americans remained in Afghanistan.
   2. The Biden Administration then estimated there were only a hundred Americans left following the withdrawal – they were WRONG.
   3. The truth is, Biden promised to stay in Afghanistan until 'all' Americans were out of the country – and he broke that promise.
3. Thirteen servicemembers were killed as a result of Biden's disastrous withdrawal. 
   1. This was the deadliest attack on Americans in Afghanistan since August 2011.
4. OVER $7 BILLION in U.S. military equipment is now in the hands of the Taliban.
5. Terrorists are now emboldened to attack Americans.
   1. Now, reports indicate that Biden's catastrophic failure in leadership has emboldened our adversaries in the region, culminating in the U.S. strike on an Al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan's very capital just earlier this month.
   2. ISIS-K has demonstrated the ability to launch attacks despite recent setbacks and depleted numbers.
   3. Al Qaeda has renewed calls for lone-wolf attacks on the U.S. homeland.
6. The botched withdrawal rightfully proved to be a flashpoint for Biden's approval among the American people as it sank to a new record low. 

1. Biden is the one who decided to pull out U.S. forces by the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
2. Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan was NOT conditions-based.
   1. The conditions of President Trump's agreement were continuously violated by the Taliban and the Biden Administration did not hold them accountable.
   2. The Biden Administration had been warned that the Taliban would stop at nothing until they retook the country. Now, the Taliban is back and the United States is less safe.
3. The decision by the Biden Administration to abandon Bagram Air Base early and leave only a few hundred troops at Hamid Karzai International Airport opened the door to the Taliban's rapid takeover.
   1. In August 2021, Former Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, John Kirby, joined CNN, where he ADMITTED the Administration had NO PLANS to help Americans get out of Afghanistan.
4. Last year, leaked documents from the Biden White House confirmed that those outside of the Administration felt Biden "lacked urgency" as the Administration was still scrambling to prepare an evacuation and relocation plan for civilians and Afghan embassy staff the afternoon before Taliban forces took over the capital city of Kabul.
