Tune in here to this Monday edition of the Brett Winterble Show!
Brett is joined on The Show By Bill Roggio from The Long War Journal to Discuss the recent release of a report on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, led by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The conversation highlights the chaotic nature of the withdrawal, the poor planning and execution by the Biden administration, and the long-standing issues that contributed to Afghanistan's collapse well before the withdrawal was announced. Roggio, who testified before the committee, criticizes the limited scope of the investigation and emphasizes that the collapse was the result of years of failures by both Republican and Democratic administrations.
They also address the broader implications of the withdrawal, including the reduced U.S. capability to counter terrorist threats in the region with "over-the-horizon" strikes, which Roggio argues are insufficient. The discussion touches on the current state of U.S. intelligence capabilities, concerns about the number of Americans still in Afghanistan, and the increasing threat of terrorism both abroad and within the U.S. due to an open border and the rise of radical ideologies. As the anniversary of 9/11 approaches, they express concerns about the potential for future attacks and the general lack of awareness or coverage on these issues by the U.S. media
