he s going to receive a lot of tough questions. yesterday in the house, he was called a liar. he was called on to resign by republicans but we didn t get a lot of specifics into what the plan was and what it s going to look like moving forward. we expect the senate to really drill down on some of those specifics. we are going to see secretary blinken defend the administration and their plan and blame the previous administration. i just spoke to the chairman of this committee, senator mendez, and i asked him what he expects to hear from blinken and he says he wants to know if the administration took into account a worst case scenario and also what they re going to do with the americans still in afghanistan and also the american allies that are still in afghanistan as well. it s going to be perhaps a very contentious hearing. not like yesterday, but there s going to be a lot of tough questions for secretary blinken who knows this committee well. he was a top adviser to

despite repeated requests, we had yet to receive a single piece of information about the administration s revised counterterrorism plan. meanwhile, the taliban continues its relationship with al-qaeda and the new interior minister has a $10 million u.s. bounty on his head for killing americans. any hope that the taliban will protect american security is a fatally flawed assumption. you must redouble efforts to reach agreements, to preserve disappearing intelligence networks. additionally, any country that offered support to the taliban should risk a strategic downgrade in their relationship with the united states. we also must understand pakistan s role in this entire matter as the chairman has alluded to. this is a difficult but important situation. i also remain concerned that the administration is rushing to normalize ties with the taliban government. this must not occur without extensive congressional consultations.
