GOP senators who blocked Jan. 6 investigation demand one for Afghanistan
By Josh Israel -October 5, 2021 12:30 PM


Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) said a panel investigating the U.S. Capitol attack would be too 'partisan.'

A group of Senate Republicans wants a joint special investigation into the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan. None of them supported the proposed bipartisan investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, introduced a resolution on Monday to create a year-long "Joint Select Committee on Afghanistan."

The panel would conduct a full investigation "into President Biden's failed and tragic withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan that stranded hundreds of Americans behind enemy lines, left billions of dollars in U.S. military equipment in the hands of terrorists and took the lives of 13 brave U.S. service members."

10. a real investigation is needed

The Afghanistan withdrawal should certainly be investigated because there's no doubt it could have been smoother.

But it also certainly shouldn't be done as political grandstanding by either party.

Republicans: "Biden abandoned all of those people who we promised a home in the US" while wiping their brows in relief that all those foreigners didn't get into the country.

Democrats: Endless grandstanding on the fact that we shouldn't have been there in the first place so how we withdrew was irrelevant.

Ummm...no.

Instead an investigation should be over:

1) who the various administrations promised to get out of the country
2) what plans, if any, were made by various administrations to get them out of the country
3) the timing of the plans to get them out of the country
4) whether the plans could have realistically accomplished the objective in the available time
5) what went wrong (or right) with the plans
6) why the people who we promised a home in the US and evacuated from Afghanistan still haven't arrived in the US

Pelosi should appoint a slate of seriously committed Democrats then invite the Republicans to do the same.

And if the Republicans select bozos for the committee, Pelosi should reject their membership.

Sound familiar?
