Twenty-five U.S. senators have sent a letter to the Secretary of Defense expressing grave concerns about the threat posed by the U.S. military leaving behind in Afghanistan weaponry, such as UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, which have now fallen into the hands of Taliban forces and their terrorist allies. But, that’s just “what happens when you withdraw,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says.
The senators, led by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), want a full accounting of the military equipment left behind, the equipment that is now in the Taliban’s hands and the Taliban’s ability to use, or learn to use with the help of America’s adversaries, the seized equipment.
“We were horrified to see U.S. equipment – including UH-60 Black Hawks – in the hands of the Taliban,” the senators tell the Defense Secretary.
“It is unconscionable that high-tech military equipment paid for by U.S. taxpayers has fallen into the hands of the Taliban and their terrorist allies,” the senators write. “Securing U.S. assets should have been among the top priorities for the U.S. Department of Defense prior to announcing the withdrawal from Afghanistan.”
“This is what happens when you withdraw. Some stuff, some equipment is left there,” Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday when asked by San Francisco CBS affiliate KPIX about the danger of leaving “tens of billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. military equipment in the hands of the Taliban”:

No, this is what happens when you withdraw without any kind of plan. Trump had one. Xiden just cut and ran.
Peelousi should be in prison.
So what she’s saying is ‘Site Happens... Under Joe Biden’ and probably in his pants as well.
She’d say the opposite if Trump was still Prez....
I see she has been studying in the school of Hillary Clinton.
Her father should have withdrawn in time.
PeloXi’s son also rapes girls like the Taliban.
(pics are on the internet, and at the DO”J” which
could not care less.)
although the PeloXis use tape for control like the Xiden.
Perhaps the best thing that could happen is for Pelousi to become president so we can see exactly what would happen when you have a maniac as president.
THAT WOULD FINALLY GET RID OF PELOSI.
Will pelosi every get her insurection committee up and going?
.....WHEN YOU WITHDRAW.... PRECIPITOUSLY ,WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD FOR ITS AFTERMATH
The leaving of all that military equipment behind was a serious compromise of our military secrets. The technology in our aviation (drones included) and hand held weapons is now in the hands of the Chinese, Russians and Iranians. Everything that President Trump did to build up our military has been wiped away. What is the crime for giving away our military secrets?
Tell that to the Russians who left not one piece of equipment or one person behind when they withdrew from Afghanistan in an orderly manner rumbling out of there in their tanks
The US Department of Defense was busy making sure the troops read Critical Race Hatred and Marxist bullshit and that trans had enough doctors to assist them. They didn't have time to think about protecting our lives or treasure. Because they're fools. Stupid dumb as rocks fools... DeFund the commie useful idiots ...
Commie useful idiots and fools are running the Department of Bullshit....

I got this text from Trump which summarized his plan:
First you bring out all of the American citizens. Then you bring out ALL equipment. Then you bomb the bases into smithereens—AND THEN YOU BRING OUT THE MILITARY. You don’t do it in reverse order like Biden and our woke Generals did.No chaos, no death—they wouldn’t even know we left!

“She’d say the opposite if Trump was still Prez....”
No kidding. Investigations, hourly public chastising, impeachment, 25th Amendment...
Hard to believe with the precision strikes we’ve seen we can’t destroy at least the most sensitive equipment.
The real question is whether we WANT to destroy that equipment. I suspect the answer is "NO".
