Friend,

 

While Democrats focus all their efforts on driving up the national debt, our
Congressman Mike Gallagher has been playing a key role in questioning top
military leaders to get to the bottom ofhow and why our withdrawal from
Afghanistan ended in such an avoidable, disastrous fashion.

 

In case you missed the recent hearings, here’s a recap of how Mike has been
holding our leaders accountable:

[READ] REP. GALLAGHER: TRUSTING TALIBAN WAS “ORIGINAL SIN” THAT LED TO
AVOIDABLE DEATHS OF SERVICE MEMBERS

Bottom Line: “[Rep. Mike Gallagher] argues that a top general's decision to
turn down the Taliban’s offer to allow the United States to secure Kabul and
instead rely on the Taliban and the terrorist Haqqani network was the “original
sin” that led to the suicide bombing in which 13 U.S. service members were
killed. Gallagher asked McKenzie if it was true that the Taliban offered to
allow the U.S. to maintain security over all of Kabul, not just the airport,
when the Afghan government collapsed on Aug. 15. The general confirmed it and
said he turned the offer down.

KABUL DURING EVACUATION

Bottom Line: “The head of the US Central Command admitted Wednesday that the
Taliban offered to let American troops take charge of security in Kabul during
the final days of the US evacuation from Afghanistan — an offer the US did not
accept — while Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin blamed the State Department
for the failed evacuation of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan
allies.”

[LISTEN] REP. GALLAGHER PUSHES BACK ON FALSE CLAIM THAT WITHDRAWAL WAS A
“LOGISTICAL SUCCESS”
<[link removed]>

 

Bottom Line: “I would say you’re seeing a million others try to hide behind
this strategic failure. But logistical success, even on just the logistical
side, the operation of surrender and withdrawal itself, I think it was a
massive failure so for the top brass to portray it as a success, I think is a
lie. And, you know, I expect Biden to lie to us, but I don’t expect a four star
general to do it.”

– Rep. Gallagher

 

Friend, while we are making progress, the fight for accountability and
transparency is far from over –– and we will keep you updated as Mike continues
to do the hard work necessary to deliver the answers our country deserves.

 

Thank you,
