Biden has no answers on Afghanistan

Rapid Response

The American people deserve answers to these basic questions:

All basic questions … all questions the Biden administration is refusing or unable to answer. The picture of Biden with his back turned as Americans are desperate for answers is quickly becoming the defining image of his presidency.

Just today, Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby was asked how much U.S. military equipment was seized by the Taliban. According to Axios, that “equipment includes over 2,000 armored vehicles, and up to 40 aircrafts.” But over a week after Kabul’s fall, Kirby conceded “I don’t have an exact inventory of equipment” seized by the Taliban and ”I don’t have any policy solutions...about how we would or could address that going forward."

 No answers. No solutions. And this is planning for every contingency?

Americans deserve answers. It’s time Biden started giving them.
