The House Foreign Affairs Committee released a report criticizing the Biden administration's chaotic Afghan withdrawal, claiming it endangered lives by failing to act on evacuation warnings.
Chair Michael McCaul stated the administration had the information to safely evacuate personnel but chose to prioritize optics over security, leading to tragic outcomes.
The report details testimony from 18 officials, highlighting failures in military withdrawal coordination, abandonment of critical military assets, and the tragic loss of 13 service members.
The recommendations aim to prevent future disasters, suggesting resolutions to condemn officials, define evacuation protocols, and reestablish crisis response mechanisms in the State Department.
