jtssrx Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Revealed: Biden Is Hiding a Ruinous 'Left Behind' Report on Afghanistan from GOP, American Public By Abby Liebing January 19, 2022 at 11:52am The chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan is still haunting the Biden administration. Last week, GOP lawmakers called out the administration for missing the deadline to submit a report about the military equipment left behind. On Friday, Republican lawmakers submitted a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. According to a government spending bill, the administration was required to submit a report on the equipment by Dec. 29, 2021. However, the administration missed the deadline, The Hillreported. “It is with gravest concern that even after a three-month window to produce the required information, the DOD still has not given Congress an accurate accounting of United States equipment still in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan where terrorist groups are reconstituting,” the letter read, according to The Hill. According to the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act, which was passed in late September and funded the federal government through Dec. 3, the administration was required to submit to Congress a report on the “disposition of United States property, equipment and supplies, including property, equipment and supplies” that was in Afghanistan. There were billions of dollars worth of military equipment left behind in Afghanistan. Once the U.S. withdrew, all the state-of-the-art equipment and weapons fell into the hands of the Taliban. Trending: Hillary Clinton Will Hate What Was Found on the Walls of Jeffrey Epstein's Mansion After the withdraw, some claimed that the equipment left behind wouldn’t do the Taliban much good — since the military had disabled much of it before evacuating. Though there were Humvees, Black Hawks and drones all left behind, they were supposedly stripped before the Western forces left, according to Forbes. “These vehicles had all been stripped of sensitive electronics prior to being gifted to the Afghan Army or left by NATO forces,” the outlet explained. Should the U.S. have left any equipment in Afghanistan? But while the Taliban may not be able to use all the equipment or gain sensitive intelligence from their operating systems, there was plenty of loot left behind for them. Videos from the Taliban, which CNN aired, shows them with assault rifles, pistols and ammunition, as well as armored Humvees and vehicles. Now that billions of dollars worth of tax-paid, military equipment is in the hand of terrorists, GOP lawmakers are insisting on accountability from the administration. “Biden’s failed withdrawal from Afghanistan needlessly left behind American citizens and Afghan allies. Americans deserve to know their taxpayer dollars are being put to good use by providing for the rescue of those left stranded, so we must have clarity and accountability from the Department of State,” GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York told Fox News. Other Republicans argued that this lack of transparency from the administration also hinders Congress from having proper oversight. “This lack of information prevents Congress from being able to accurately and effectively conduct oversight over the tens of billions of dollars of equipment invested in Afghanistan over the past 20 years and creates vulnerabilities in our national security,” the letter from GOP lawmakers read, according to The Hill.

That is why Congress required your department to comply by December 29, 2021,” the lawmakers added. This is not an unreasonable request since Congress needs to know just how much was left behind in Afghanistan. This not only clarifies how much equipment the Taliban now has, but it also demonstrates simple fiscal responsibility.

If it was Trumps plan the Biden administration would’ve released the plan and said here it is. 2. even if it was Trumps plan the Biden Administration was under no obligation to use it. Lets be clear it wasn’t his plan. 3. The Biden Administration started reversing everything Trump did on day one. Every executive order, the wall construction, keystone, oil leases, Stay in Mexico, catch and release, Iran deal, Paris Accords, all of it. But you want to claim that the one and only thing they stuck with was the Afghanistan exit strategy. 4. trump has been very clear on two things with Regard to Afghanistan. First he wanted nothing left behind. He wanted it brought back or destroyed. Fuck we left 70k trucks there. Second he wanted to keep Bogrum.

So basically what you are admitting is Joe Biden the moronic failure couldnt come up with a better plan and treaty negotiation, so he tried to speed up Trumps plan and failed miserably.....
