Afghanistan
Bacon (R-NE-2) 12/05/2021: Twitter thread – “The decision to run from Afghanistan, overruling military advice, & the terrible execution remain a colossal disaster. A terrorist state is in power. Our adversaries are emboldened—just look at Putin's actions w/Ukraine, & China's w/Taiwan. And, our allies lost trust in us. Link to quoted tweetThis is the normal in Afg. We go through torturing,proscution &oppression, we're ruled by ignorance, fanatics&cruelty. We're being ignord by the all,after we were handed over handcuffed to the religious sophistry& terror. @hrw @amnesty @UNHumanRights @UNHumanRights @IntlCrimCourt Link to reply@RepDonBacon And yet, nobody has been held accountable. @DIPetersen The Admin has not… they'll pay for it at the polls. Link to reply@RepDonBacon After 20 years there was no way we were going to win this war. You must understand this. The state of affairs in Afghanistan today were inevitable. To continue laying blame on Biden is disingenuous. @dlerikson1 We had a small presence of troops in non-combat roles with lots of combat air power. We had zero casualties in 1.5 years and controlled 70% of Afghanistan. This Administration threw it all away. It is a national humiliation. Link to reply@RepDonBacon Why do you love Afghanistan more than Bellevue? @jimkourlas We now have a terrorist state in Afghanistan and our adversaries such as Putin are emboldened because they see weakness in The White House. Most folks in great city of Bellevue agree. We now live in a more dangerous world. Link to reply@RepDonBacon @jimkourlas Rino in progress I fear @ex_democrat_q @jimkourlas Constitutionalist and I want America to succeed. Link to reply@RepDonBacon The weakness Putin saw in the White House was the last administration. The same administration that negotiated a withdrawal with the very terrorist leaders you're complaining about. @SweetJMichael The one the current President decided to execute and done so about as poorly as possible. Link to reply@RepDonBacon @FrankFerlito @dkass @FrankFerlito I disagreed then, and with the current President who embraced the deal and executed it as poorly as possible. We live in a more dangerous world because of it. Link to reply@RepDonBacon @jimkourlas resign democrat @MarissaHerst @jimkourlas I don't think right to ask Jim to do so. Link to reply@RepDonBacon @FrankFerlito "They couldn't stop the process, they wanted to but they couldn't" I'm just curious what he meant by that. @dkass @FrankFerlito The Admin disagreed with many policies of Trump and overturned them. The reality is Biden wanted this for about 10 years and delivered a national humiliation.”

Waltz (R-FL-6) 12/06/2021: Tweet – “The Biden Admin continues to tout the Afghanistan withdrawal as the "greatest air evacuation in history with over 100k Afghans brought to safety."
