Zeldin (R-NY-1) 08/16/2022: GETTR Post – “The U.S. should NOT grant a visa to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi who is trying to travel to New York for the United Nations General Assembly. Iran is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world and its regime has attempted to assassinate U.S. officials on American soil, overthrown foreign governments, murdered and wounded U.S. service members, and financed terror, while declaring “Death to America” and calling Israel “the Little Satan” and America “the Great Satan”. Just days ago, we witnessed author Salman Rushdie, who Iran placed a multi-million dollar fatwa on, attacked on stage in New York. Raisi should just participate virtually until the Iranian regime decides to reverse its bad behavior.”

This public humiliation of our country was the result of negligence & ineptitude. President Trump established a competent & professional plan to finally end this forever war, but Biden replaced professional military leadership with political operatives who predictably failed. I mourn for the thousands of our soldiers who died valiantly in a two decade military campaign that was mishandled from the start by poor leadership. Joe Biden abandoned American citizens & left them behind. Instead, he gathered over 100,000 Afghanis & flew them to America. None of these Afghanis were vetted & many turned out to be on terrorist watch lists. Then, in a show of incompetence and arrogance, Biden & his woke generals sent a drone missile to kill an Afghan ally & aid worker, along with his family & seven children. Due to Mr. Biden's incompetence & poor military leadership, he failed to secure the airport perimeter & allowed a suicide bomber to enter resulting in the needless death of 13 American service members.

In the disastrous retreat from Afghanistan, we lost thirteen U.S. servicemembers in a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport and hundreds of American citizens were left stranded. Billions of dollars worth of American military equipment were left behind, allowed to be taken. President Biden assured the American people that there was no threat of terrorist resurgence upon leaving Afghanistan on August 1st last year. Two weeks later, he was proven wrong. The Administration owes the American people answers to the questions regarding the withdrawal. I stand alongside my colleagues in Congress who continue to advocate on behalf of the thirteen Marines we lost on August 26, 2021, the hundreds of Americans left behind, and the millions of Americans who still have questions.

My thoughts are especially with the friends and family of the 2,461 service members who lost their lives throughout war, including the 13 Americans killed facilitating the evacuation of more than 124,000 people from Afghanistan last August. I'm grateful @POTUS refused to send another generation of Americans off to fight in a war that should have ended long ago. The recent strike on al-Zawahiri demonstrates the US does not need troops on the ground to protect American counterterrorism interests. I also commend efforts to relocate more than 80,000 Afghans, repatriate hundreds of Americans & provide humanitarian aid to the Afghan people.

The fact that it's been a year since the #FallOfKabul & we have no policy corrections is unacceptable. The admin should be focused on developing a counterterrorism plan, safeguarding #humanrights, & creating guardrails on U.S. assistance to prevent direct benefit to the #Taliban. In order to prevent a similar catastrophe from happening again, it's imperative the Biden Admin seriously investigates its miscalculations and learns from those mistakes.

Rogers (R-AL-3) 08/15/2022: Retweet of @HASCRepublicans – “President Biden last year: “The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything & owning the whole country is highly unlikely.” The Taliban quickly took over Afghanistan and our nation is less safe due to President Biden's actions.

Romney (R-UT) 08/15/2022: Twitter thread – “In the year since Kabul fell to the Taliban, women and girls have lost basic rights and Afghans who assisted U.S. efforts are being executed. It's a somber day but we must not forget the heroic efforts of our service members to safely evacuate Americans and vulnerable Afghans. Afghanistan risks, once again, becoming a terrorist safe haven. The presence of al Qaeda leaders like Ayman al-Zawahiri shows that the Taliban is willfully disregarding withdrawal conditions. We must be clear-eyed about this reality & the ramifications for U.S. national security.”

Rosendale (R-MT-0) 08/15/2022: Tweet – “One year ago, President Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan left our foreign adversaries emboldened to take advantage of failed leadership in the White House and weaken our national security.

Scott (R-GA-8) 08/15/2022: Twitter thread – “Today is the one-year anniversary of the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in Afghanistan. It was because Biden ignored the advice of his own National Security Team that Afghanistan ended in an epic disaster. Because of Biden's actions, billions of dollars worth of U.S. military equipment was handed to the Taliban, giving them some of the most advanced weaponry in the world. What's worse is thirteen service members were killed at the Kabul airport.   These service personnel gave the ultimate sacrifice while trying to get Americans and our partners out of Afghanistan, and all their families are grieving their loss every day. Please remember the fallen service members today, and join me in praying for their families and that nothing like this ever happens again.”

Scott (R-SC) 08/15/2022: Tweet – “Today marks one year since the Biden Admin's poorly-planned, and chaotic Afghanistan evacuation that led to the fall of Kabul. A crisis that saw the loss of 13 U.S. servicemembers, empowered the Taliban, and sent a message of weakness to our adversaries.”

Stefanik (R-NY-21) 08/15/2022: Tweet – “One year ago, President Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the deadliest attack on Americans in Afghanistan since 2011. This left hundreds of Americans and BILLIONS of dollars of U.S. military equipment stranded behind enemy lines.”

Steube (R-FL-17) 08/15/2022: GETTR Post – “Today we mark the one year anniversary of the Fall of Kabul, when the Taliban gained control of Afghanistan and undid decades of U.S. efforts in the region. America is just as angered and frustrated at Joe Biden's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal today as we were the day it occurred. Over the last year, Biden and his incompetent administration have tried every way possible to escape accountability. We've seen the State Department obstruct the independent, congressionally mandated oversight of the withdrawal. Secretary Blinken can't seem to get a number straight on how many Americans are still stranded without U.S. assistance. To further our frustrations, we recently learned Al-Qaeda has reemerged in Afghanistan.”
