  1. The best thing we can do for these folks is protect the integrity of the Arizona audit and protect the safety of the honest people involved.

  2. ” the integrity of the Arizona audit “–What integrity? Tell me what you would be saying if that had been done by Dems.?—

  3. GOP has just as much blood on its hands as Biden does. They allowed war to drag on for 20 years with no end in site. GOP never once brought up the question. Are you removing our equipment or leaving it behind. Every politician in office knew Afgans were not capable of defending them selfs. All the hand wringing is a SCAM on American people. Better look hard folks. Our military is not so mighty. Sad record since Korea. Very Sad

    1. Your comments make it obvious you don’t have a clue, either intentional or by ignorance, of who the commander in chief is and their job as well as the secretary of defense and secretary of state, of the processes and steps that are taken upon a withdrawal of forces, and who is responsible for those procedures and who didn’t do their respective job(s).

      1. Who is responsible for the failure of the afghan military to secure the equipment we have given them over the past 20 years? Who decided 19 years ago that we should stick around and rebuild their government and help them implement a standing military? When has this ever worked for the US military since WWII?
