(From Fourth District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler)Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) issued the following statement on the current situation in Afghanistan:
“One month ago, President Biden declared that the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan was not inevitable and that the Afghan government would not collapse. Today, he could not be more wrong as the Taliban has overtaken the country and President Ghani has fled Afghanistan.
With this latest act of incompetence, the Biden administration’s track record of repeated negligence has resulted in crises at our border, in our communities, and now overseas in the Middle East.
In Afghanistan, gone and lost are decades of progress for women, who will now see their advances crushed under Sharia Law. I pray for them on this somber day and condemn our current administration for their bungled and failed withdrawal from Afghanistan.”
Sounds like maybe she's running for something . . .
ReplyDeleteLet's just pretend Trump didn't negotiate those 'historical' peace talks with the Taliban.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, they are, the GOP has scrubbed that entry from their website, but the internet never forgets.
1:43PM...typical, try to take the focus off the story/issue and divert by blaming others. you all need a new game plan. pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI'm not blaming others, I'm simply wondering why Biden is so bad for doing what his predecessor promised, he put America first.
ReplyDelete11:46AM, you really believe that Biden is putting America First ???? Wow, I don't think you understand what "First" means....nor do you understand what American values and principles are.
ReplyDeletePulling our troops out of a 20 year war that was doomed from the beginning. What is your grand plan? Stay in Afghanistan forever and try to prop up a weak government while our soldiers get killed?
