President JoeBiden really doesn't want GOP looking into his botched Afghanistan withdrawal, writes ZacharyFaria.
Joe Biden’s aides are worried about House Republicans leading committee investigations and wielding subpoena power to look into Biden’s handling of the withdrawal because they can’t dismiss it as a partisan witch hunt — the way they have and will with any examination of Hunter Biden’s business ties. It is not without reason that the president's approval rating tanked during the withdrawal and has never recovered.
— RNC Research August 18, 2022 Sen. Chris Murphy is telegraphing the only defense the Biden administration has: This was all bound to happen. The chaos was unavoidable. No president could have had a “neat and tidy” withdrawal from Afghanistan that didn’t result in Afghans having their brains scattered on runways.
Would any other president have then, in retaliation for the suicide bombing, conducted a drone strike against an Afghan aid worker with no discernible terrorist ties? Would any other president have sent Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley out to call it a “righteous strike,” even though the Pentagon knew within hours that they killed a civilian?
