"It's been two years since the United States haphazardly withdrew from Afghanistan and the Biden Administration continues to deflect blame. The after action report released last month failed to take responsibility for mistakes made, including the significant damage done to America's reputation on the world stage.

Since we pulled out, the rights of Afghanistan's women, girls, and minorities have been erased, and Afghanistan is once again a dangerous sanctuary for terror. There are still Afghans who supported the United States that were left behind and are fending for themselves against the Taliban. The fallout from our withdrawal will continue to impact American interests for decades to come.

True leadership requires accountability and learning from mistakes. In order to prevent a catastrophic event like this from happening again, the administration must acknowledge its failures and adapt. We owe it to our troops, diplomats, and security partners to do better."
