The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a resolution condemning President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other administration officials for their handling of the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The resolution, led by Republicans, received bipartisan support with 10 Democrats joining the GOP in the vote. The move is seen as an effort to hold the administration accountable for the chaotic exit, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members.
The withdrawal has been widely criticized for its poor execution and the rapid takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban.

This is exactly why we need less government meddling in foreign affairs. Both parties have been messing up for decades, and now we’re seeing the fallout from another poorly executed intervention. It’s time we stop trying to police the world and focus on getting our own house in order.
