EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., is slamming the Afghanistan dissent cable that Secretary of State Antony Blinken allowed congressional access to Tuesday as "embarrassing", and said it debunks the Biden administration's narrative that it was caught off-guard by the country's swift collapse in 2021.
Issa, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News Digital that he was the first committee member to view the dissent channel cable from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul and Washington's response.
The State Department’s "dissent channel" allows for contrary views to be expressed by officials. The document, signed by 23 staffers and diplomats, warned about the possibility of a rapid Taliban advance as the U.S. left the country, which President Biden and other top officials downplayed at the time.

Much like cockroaches, Democrat leadership thrives on war, chaos, and death.
So naturally, any time we have democrat leadership, there's an effort made to increase the number of wars, the amount of chaos, and to create as much death as possible.

As with Benghazi and plane loads of cash to Iran, it just got swept under the rug. That's why I don't have much faith in the Biden crime family being held to account anymore than the Clinton family was/is.

We all saw the US surrender in Afghanistan ordered by the “president” and executed by top brass.
Everyone assumed it was incompetence AND ACCEPTED IT!!!!!!!
I’m so tired of pretending the emperor is clothed.
By repeating their BS lies and spin we are giving them credibility they don’t have.

The families of the The Ice Cream Truck worker and 11 children we hit with a Cruise Missile in Afghanistan due to Biden incompetence, should be given a few million dollars.
We should of never been in that country to begin with. And sending more troops back in to stop the Taliban is something that I don't think we should of done. And I'm glad we didn't do it.

I would like to point out that Biden did not allow anything to happen in Afghanistan. He was following Trumps plan to pull out. The Afghan government had the training and the equipment to hold their country against the Taliban. However the Afghan army literally handed over the country to the Taliban without much of a fight.

That's not true. Every single war in the history of the plant has allies and enemies who provide supplies/food etc.
A better example of a proxy war is Syria.
