'Fatally flawed': Top Senate Democrat blasts Biden administration's Afghanistan withdrawal
Deirdre Shesgreen


USA TODAYWASHINGTON – A top Senate Democrat on Tuesday blasted the Biden administration's handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan as "fatally flawed" and threatened to subpoena Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin if he doesn't agree to testify "in the near future."

The sharp rebuke from Sen. Bob Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, came as Secretary of State Antony Blinken faced a second day of intense questioning by lawmakers furious over the chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan.

"The execution of the U.S. withdrawal was clearly and fatally flawed," Menendez, D-N.J., told Blinken in opening remarks. "This committee expects to receive a full explanation of the administration's decisions on Afghanistan since coming into office last January. There has to be accountability.
OMG thank you captain obvious, we never would have realized there might be those in our party that see things differently, thank god you are on the case. Love to hear the plan Trump had to execute this withdrawal after pulling so many troops out ahead of the deadline, putting a major burden on the remaining couple thousand, even if the Afghans didn’t roll over and turn over the keys to every city they were there to defend. Oh wait it’s on the record Trump had no plan.
