What the Hell is Going On?: WTH is going on with Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal?
Listen now
Description
Today, the AEI Podcast Channel presents the most recent episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/what-the-hell-podcast/ (What the Hell is Going On?) hosted by Danielle Pletka and Marc Thiessen. President Biden recently announced that he plans to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. The decision has sparked accusations of “surrender,” and fears that Biden is repeating the Iraq withdrawal mistake again -- a decision that led to the establishment of ISIS’s caliphate in Iraq. Rep. Adam Kinzinger joined Dany and Marc to talk about the implications of the US troop withdrawal. He also discusses his service in Afghanistan and Iraq, the timing of Biden’s decision, and what it will mean for American national security. Rep. Kinzinger is currently serving his sixth term in the House of Representatives, representing Illinois’ Sixteenth Congressional District. Prior to being elected to Congress, Kinzinger served in the Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/4.15.21-Kinzinger-transcript.pdf (Download the transcript here.)
