The Republicans made public yesterday Sunday highly critical report for her withdrawal of US armed forces from Afghanistan in 2021; following the decision of the Democratic president Joe Bidenwhich brought to an utterly chaotic end the longest war in which the US had ever been involved.

In the document, drawn up by Republican members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, it is emphasized that Mr. Biden “failed to limit foreseeable consequences” of the withdrawal of troops under an agreement made by his predecessor’s government.

The Taliban—then in power in Afghanistan—took over Kabul, the capital, on August 15, 2021, after the government backed by the US and its allies collapsed.

American armed forces completed their withdrawal on the 30th.

On the 26th, a suicide bomber attack killed 13 US servicemen and 170 Afghans at the capital’s Hamid Karzai airport.

In their report, Republicans highlighted the concerns expressed by military officers that it was necessary to maintain some presence of the US armed forces in the country where Washington launched a war in 2001.

The Democrats, for their part, rejected the text, considering that its purpose is to hurt the faction ahead of the November elections.

According to its editors, Joe Biden’s decision was due to his “long-standing, inflexible view,” which they said was that “the US should no longer be present in Afghanistan.”

Always according to the text, the Democrat’s choice was not “based on the security situation”, nor “on the Doha agreement” signed during the days of Donald Trump in the presidency, in 2020, and provided for pacification and the withdrawal of the US military. Nor was it due to advice from “national security experts” or “allies.”

Mr. Biden is often criticized by his opponents in the U.S. for proceeding with the withdrawal of the U.S. military without imposing any conditions on the Taliban or securing a ceasefire between the insurgents and the forces of the eventually toppled government.

Taliban attacks had already multiplied after the agreement was signed.

For the report’s authors, the withdrawal of US armed forces “increased threats to our national security, tarnished our international reputation for years, and emboldened our enemies around the world.”

The document was released a week or so after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sparked controversy at a military cemetery where he went to honor 13 fallen U.S. service members — the Marines who were killed in an Islamic State suicide bomber attack in Chowk. crowded and besieged by thousands of people desperate to leave the country Kabul airport— during the withdrawal.

There was a scuffle between Mr. Trump’s team, which sought to take photos and videos of the event, and cemetery staff, who demanded that federal law prohibiting any political activity on the grounds of the military cemetery be enforced.
