"I think today, especially of the 13 heroes that we lost at Abbey Gate. And I deeply regret we did not do more and could not do more to protect them," smarmed Blinken in congressional testimony. "And to those families who are here with us today, you're in my thoughts and my prayers." This highlights his mixed feelings of regret amid a sense of responsibility for the tragic losses in Afghanistan during the U.S. withdrawal.
Blinken blatantly defied multiple congressional subpoenas to give answers on this question before - yet another piece of Biden lawlessness that went uncriticized by our journalistic defenders of democracy. This reveals the ongoing tensions and criticisms of how the Biden administration has handled accountability regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal.
It saw America humiliated, our soldiers killed, our local allies abandoned, our materiel surrendered to our enemies and a violent, destabilizing terrorist group ascend to state power. This statement encapsulates the broader consequences of the U.S.'s hasty exit from Afghanistan, underscoring the tragic fallout both domestically and internationally.
And still - still - even after the destruction of Biden's political hopes and those of his hand-picked successor, Harris, even after years of mounting anger from the US public and righteous fury from the families of the dead, there's no real acknowledgment of guilt. This emphasizes the persistent dissatisfaction regarding the administration's lack of accountability in the aftermath of the withdrawal.
