The report released by the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) on Sept. 9 alleges that the decision to withdraw from Kabul led to disorganized conditions and disregarded military warnings, eventually causing the loss of 13 U.S. military personnel in a Kabul suicide bombing. It also implies that political plans were prioritized over national security concerns.
"Our investigation reveals the Biden-Harris administration had the information and opportunity to take necessary steps to plan for the inevitable collapse of the Afghan government, so we could safely evacuate U.S. personnel, American citizens, green card holders, and our brave Afghan allies. At each step of the way, however, the administration picked optics over security," wrote HFAC Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) in the report.
"As a result of the Biden-Harris administration's failure to plan for all contingencies, the U.S. government conducted an emergency evacuation without the necessary personnel, supplies, and equipment. The administration's dereliction of duty placed U.S. servicemembers and U.S. State Department personnel in mortal danger, where the Taliban – our sworn enemy – became the first line of defense. As a direct result of the failure to plan for all contingencies, 13 U.S. servicemembers and 170 Afghans were murdered in a terrorist attack at Abbey Gate on Aug. 26, 2021, and 45 U.S. servicemembers and countless Afghans were injured. This was preventable." (Related: Biden blasted by members of his own party for disorganized, disastrous, ill-planned pull-out of Afghanistan, leaving thousands of Americans in the lurch.)
McCaul added the withdrawal has damaged U.S. credibility, emboldened America's adversaries, and made the country more at risk of an attack emanating from Afghanistan.
"And the moral injury to our veterans and servicemembers is generational. The administration's unconditional surrender and the abandonment of our Afghan allies, who fought alongside the U.S. military against the Taliban – their brothers in arms – is a stain on this administration."
Biden administration officials only testified following subpoenas
According to the report, officials in the current administration – including former U.S. Army Gen. Austin Miller and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki – were interviewed by the HFAC as part of the investigation. But testimonies were only obtained following either a subpoena or a threat of contempt of Congress. McCaul added that even now, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan continue to ignore the committee's summons to testify.
Sharon Yang, White House spokeswoman for oversight and investigations, disregarded the GOP report – calling it biased and based upon selective facts. She stressed that the decision to withdraw was tough but necessary to divert resources to other threats and conclude the extended conflict.
In response to accusations that the report's release was politically motivated, McCaul said delaying tactics from the White House and military leaders pushed back his probe by almost two years. The Texas congressman said he would have preferred the report be released earlier than Sept. 9.
"In fact, I would have preferred it be released in late 2021 or 2022 – directly after the withdrawal and emergency evacuation. Instead, congressional Democrats provided political cover for the Biden-Harris administration."
The report recommended reestablishing a Crisis Bureau within the State Department to deal with emergency evacuation situations and prevent comparable military disasters in the future.
"While this was a thorough and comprehensive investigation, there are still unanswered questions, and more information must be gathered if we are to ensure such a catastrophe never happens again," McCaul concluded.

HIDDEN HISTORY of vaccines - After World War II, the Western Medical Industrial Complex began medically experimenting on disabled people and minorities, including children, who were prisoners of the state held captive in mental hospitals. The doctors and scientists claimed it was for the "greater good," just as Hitler said about exterminating millions of Jews, Blacks, disabled people, kids with autism and anyone with a mental disorder. Then, in the mid 1950s, a group of Harvard scientists won the Nobel Prize for growing the Polio virus in tissue cultures. https://www.newstarget.com/2024-03-10-hidden-history-of-vaccines-toxin-accumulation.html -- PLEASE NOTE; When the CDC increased the childhood vaccination rates about 35 years ago, infant death rates began skyrocketing, as well as autism statistics -- After that, Dr. Jonas Salk tested the virus on Rhesus monkeys (using their kidneys) and 5 pharma firms somehow immediately concluded that the experimental concoctions were the ultimate formula for preventing Polio in humans, and voila – the holy grail of medicine was born – vaccines. (NOTE; I am 77, in perfect health, and have NEVER been vaccinated. NOT ONCE.) The polio vaccine lie was born, and the "safety" and "efficacy" conspiracy theory of all vaccines lives on right now, hoodwinking 270 million Americans!

Which means He is incapable of making mistakes or being wrong; For instance, there are 1804 prophecies in the Bible. The word ‘prophecy’ means He has told us what He is going to do in the future. There has never been a failure in prophecy; every prophecy, up till now, has been fulfilled perfectly. This fulfillment of prophecy proves that ALL prophecies in the Bible will always be fulfilled AT THE PROPER TIME for fulfillment. The next prophecy due is the prophecy about the Great Tribulation. Why do we study the Scriptures? So that we can learn Truths such as this; 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.—When you learn the Truth from the Bible (John 17:17) and put what you learn into practice in your life, that leads to THIS; Who are the chosen ones? Please look up and read the following versus very carefully; Psalm 37:29; Ecclesiastes 1:4; Isaiah 25:8; Isaiah 35:5; Revelation 21:4; Isaiah 65:21, 22 “They will build houses and live in them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, nor will they plant for others to eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.” If you have questions, please ask or email me with your questions/doubts; rich515151@yahoo.com.

Hell does not exist, Hell is a pagan teaching from old Babylon that was used in the first through fourth centuries to lure more pagans to join the then-new religion of Christianity. This LIE and teaching has driven more people away from Almighty Jehovah God (Psalms 83:18) than probably any other lie that the minsters and priests have used to control those who listen to them. And such men have told very many lies indeed such as you having an immortal soul inside of you that leaves your dead body when you die; the Bible teaches that you ARE a living soul. --- If you would like to receive all of the post on hell, please email me at rich515151@yahoo.com and request the “full Hell does not exist post”. If you have questions, please ask, or email me with your questions; any help I can provide is always free, as is commanded in the Bible.

If you want to read the information about how each of these names for HELL were used (it is quite interesting and explains a LOT!), please email me and request the information and I will send it to you for free. Also, It is a historical fact worth noting that, on the basis of the points and evidence above presented, the March 1880 edition of the Watch Tower magazine identified the year 1914 as the time for the close of “the appointed times of the nations” (and the end of the lease of power granted the Gentile rulers). This was some 34 years before the arrival of that year and the momentous events it initiated. In the August 30, 1914, edition of The World, a leading New York newspaper at that time, a feature article in the paper’s Sunday magazine section commented on this as follows: “The terrific war outbreak in Europe has fulfilled an extraordinary prophecy. For a quarter of a century past, through preachers and through press, the ‘International Bible Students’, who took the name Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1931, have been proclaiming to the world that the Day of Wrath prophesied in the Bible would dawn in 1914.” The events that took place from and after the year 1914 C.E. are well-known history to all, beginning with the great war that erupted, the first world war in mankind’s history and the first to be fought over the issue, not of the domination of Europe alone, nor of Africa, nor of Asia, but of the domination of the world.—Lu 21:7-24, 29-33; Re 11:15-18
