It’s very obvious that the White House is concerned about the political ramifications Biden’s pullout will have. This is especially a concern as the midterm elections approach. However, it is sad that Democrats are more focused on making Americans forget about Afghanistan than on rescuing Americans stranded in Afghanistan.
The American public won’t forget this. It remains an ongoing foreign policy disaster. Leaving Americans behind at the mercy of the Taliban is furthermore unacceptable.
Further hearings and investigations?
Right now, support exists for Congress to investigate Biden’s pullout and necessary measures to rescue Americans. However, with Democrats controlling the Senate and House, this is a tall order.
If Republicans regain control of the Senate and House, however, this will change things. Earlier this month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy declared that when the GOP regains the majority, they’ll get to the bottom of this.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of Democrat lawmakers seem more interested in securing their own re-elections than in holding Biden accountable.
