Pakistan

Murphy (D-CT) 02/12/2023: In reply to TweetFYI @ChrisMurphyCT is trafficking desperate falsehoods. Hersh doesn't believe raid was fake, he exposed that US told lies about it. Re: Opus Dei, he noted that Bush & other top leaders are self-admitted "crusaders." And he reported that US trained MEK -- where's the correction? (Link to twitter.com) – “@aaronjmate Hersh's bin Laden piece says Pakistan captured bin Laden, imprisoned him in Abbotabad, and then got paid off by the U.S. to allow a pretend assault that was actually an orchestrated joint assassination with Pakistan. How does that not make the official version “fake”?”

Afghanistan

Boebert (R-CO-3) 02/13/2023: Tweet – “After Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, every American adversary knew for sure that Joe Biden was the weakest leader our country has ever known.

McCaul (R-TX-10) 02/13/2023: Tweet – “I'm conducting oversight of the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan — not for me or the Republican party, but for America, our veterans who served so bravely, and the gold star mothers who deserve answers. Link to video”
