special inspector general and the same lessons learned report that came out in 2013. that did not impact anything that was done in afghanistan. you know, quite frankly, we had after action-type analysis of vietnam that seemed to have gone into the ether. and so despite the outrageous headlines and the waste of money and the tragedy that s happening in the afghanistan streets right now, as the security forces we poured $83 billion into training have completely disappeared, we just see this happening again and again. now is actually one of the biggest critiques in this latest inspector general report is that we have no plan for keeping this from happening the next time we go into a country like this. it s head-shaking, isn t it? terrific article in propublica. megan rose, really appreciate it, thanks so much. thank you. a grim task more than a week after that devastating earthquake hit haiti.
interest, failed for the people in personnel, and prepared to prop up a joint government with the afghans in the taliban, but what president biden failed to do was listen to intelligence from officers and politicize the withdraw and listen to the mainstream media while eating ice cream at kent david. laura: not limited to just the withdrawal, we will learn that biden s plan on withdrawing billions more into the money pit. 3 billion to be exact. now where they all worried about ending up in the taliban hands? americans deserve to know where their hard-earned dollars are going. luckily the good folks from open the books put together a fairly comprehensive list of how taxpayer dollars were spent, or should say mid spent, that includes $83 billion for the afghan security forces that surrendered within days of
plan, we prepared to secure interest and withdrawal of people and personnel and to prop up a joint government for the afghans and the taliban and. what president biden failed to do is listen to the intelligence from career officers, politicized the afghan withdrawal and listened into the mainstream media. biden s blunders are not limited to withdrawal. we recently learned biden planned on for billions more into that money pit, 3 billion to be exact. were they worried about the cash and bring it out and s hands, the white house is mom on that. americans deserve to know where their hard-earned dollars are going. likely the good folks put together a fairly comprehensive list of how taxpayer dollars were spent or i should say misspent in afghanistan including $83 billion for the
airport. it is the fact that the taliban walked into kabul and then walked into the presidential palace. that the president fled a military that the united states had invested $83 billion in building an army simply melted away. these are the things that will have an enduring impact. is it worth what are the circumstances where it will be worth other countries joining in a coalition to fight militarily? i think this weakened america s image, and i mean i don t want it to be. you know, i m an american too. but i think that the repercussions from this are only beginning to be felt and are likely to be felt for decades to come. general hertling, i just want you to weigh in on this because more than 20,000 afghans who helped the u.s. have applied for special visas. we ve moved about 2,000 of them out, but you say there are actually many more people to evacuate. i want you to talk about this
you can quote guantanamo bay entirely, and obama/biden america iran gets cash, some to go to fund state terrorism as leading state sponsor of terrorism. it is pathetic. taliban getting weapons. we ve given $83 billion to this endeavor and weapons are in the handss of the taliban. this is obama/biden liberal america. not a picture to be embraced by majority of the country. harris: we need leverage back, we don t have leverage on the ground once we pull out. i believe in our military and i know they will do everything to move heaven and earth to get our people out. i have confidence in them. i don t know if they can do it by the 31st. goodness, the taliban gets more information on when we are leaving. what is our leverage and what is our long game with the leverage to have some eyes on the ground?
