Congressman names those responsible for Biden's bad policies

 Breitbart:

Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) told Breitbart News Saturday President Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan crisis is “jaw-droppingly outrageous and incompetent” and noted the officials making horrendous foreign policy decisions are the same people who surrounded former President Barack Obama. This is a situation of “liberal academics who have not a speck of Middle East dirt under their fingernails making all the same mistakes,” he said.

Waltz, the first Green Beret to serve in Congress, offered his thoughts on the horrendous terrorist attack in Kabul on Thursday, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. servicemembers — the largest single-day loss for U.S. servicemembers since 2011:

“The reality is this was a series of bad decisions. We pulled, really, the rug out from under the Afghan army very suddenly. We took their air support, their intelligence support, logistic support, and their contract and maintenance support in the middle of the fighting season,” he said, also placing blame on the Afghans and noting the narrative they have faced: that America has abandoned them.

Waltz said they have been hearing that narrative, as well as the narrative that the Biden administration was working with the Taliban, which “caused a lot of these guys to surrender,” resulting in billions of U.S. military equipment falling into the Taliban’s hands. All of this ultimately led to the U.S. pulling out of Bagram, a major air base north of Kabul, “way too soon,” he said.

“And then Biden having to send 5,000 forces back in,” he said, critiquing the president for failing to take Bagram back, noting the military confirmed to him they briefed Biden on that course of action, but they, instead, opted to put all their resources into the airport in Kabul, “which is sitting in a city of four million people, and no matter how far out you push that perimeter, the Taliban will still surround it,” the congressman noted.

Ultimately, Waltz said, the U.S. ended up relying on terrorists to screen for terrorists, “and now, we have 13 dead Marines and soldiers.”

“It is jaw-droppingly outrageous and incompetent,” he said before noting the connections between the figures working under the Biden administration and their associations with the former Obama administration.

“Here’s the bottom line. The same team that is around Biden is the same team that was around Obama,” he said, referencing that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was in charge, who was the military commander of Central Command in charge of the Middle East, and National Security adviser Jake Sullivan, who served as chief of staff and was a “longtime protégé of Hillary”....

There is more.

Susan Rice also had a hand in selecting this gathering of losers.  There should be political consequences for this level of incompetence.
