Congressman: Liz Cheney Played Key Role in Afghanistan Debacle
Breitbart ^ | Aug 17 | Sean Moran

Posted on 08/18/2021 4:15:06 AM PDT by RandFan

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Monday that Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) efforts to stall then-President Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw from Afghanistan in part led to Biden’s botched withdrawal.

Davidson, an Army veteran, spoke to Breitbart News as Biden has been largely criticized for his strategy to withdraw from Afghanistan. While Davidson said that he has supported ending the war in Afghanistan since 2011, he said that the 46th president did not withdraw “correctly.” He also called Biden’s withdrawal plan a “failure.”

The Ohio conservative, however, did note that some of the blame lies with Cheney, a member of the Never Trump and neoconservative wing of the GOP.

Cheney, along with Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), sponsored in July 2020 an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would restrict then-President Trump’s ability to withdraw troops from Afghanistan unless certain conditions were met.

The amendment, otherwise known as the Afghanistan Partnership and Transparency Act (APTA), would restrict the use of funds to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan below 8,000 unless certain conditions were met.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) told Breitbart News Tonight host Rebecca Mansour in January 2021 that Cheney’s amendment was “egregious” and the “opposite” of what America should do. Other House conservatives raged against Cheney’s efforts to stall Trump’s efforts to end the war in Afghanistan.

Davidson said that if Trump had his way, America would have left Afghanistan by Christmas 2020. However, the revised deal with the Taliban led to a May 1 withdrawal.

Since then, Biden revised his target date to leave the country by September 11, 2021. ops out of there by May 1.”

Last paragraph is a word salad.I wonder whether that’s the reporter’s fault or the congressman’s.

not just Cheney.

the entire corrupt GOP, attacked POTUS,
stabbing him and their voters in the face.

the GOP then gave up to ChInA for a few coins of silver
and promises of future ELECTION FRAUD.

the enslaved girls, boys and women in Afghanistan,
like the cities in America fuming with new diseases
from illegals are COLLATERAL DAMAGE to the GOP.

All that you've written is really indicative of the fact that politicians, as a class, are just not that impressive a group and cannot and should not EVER be depended upon to do what's best and right - except for themselves.

Strict term limits.
Ongoing citizen oversight of every person in elected office.
Mandatory long-term jail sentences for every politician caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

I can't wait for Lizard to be defeated in her primary. It needs to happen to every RINO traitor who must face a primary in 2022, especially in the state legislatures who gave the Steal to Potato Joe on a platter. They put their petty hatred of Trump above their country.

Stolen elections have consequences. The RINO traitors who gave the Steal to Potato Joe will have just as much blood on their hands as he will for the mess in Afghanistan if the Taliban murder Americans in the months to come.

Remember, Dick Cheney was President of the Carlyle Group.

The Carlyle Group owns State Street Investments.

State Street Investments owned Dominion Software.

Dominion Software was reportedly sold in October 2020, a month before the 2020 Election. (Pearl Harbor II) It is said to have been purchased by the CCP.

Do you think that Dick Cheney still owns stock in the Carlyle Group? And Liz will probably inherit it from him.

Dick Cheney is very intelligent. He has low visibility now. Note what Liz says about him, I'm skeptical that he would agree with her.

Liz Cheney says her father is ‘deeply troubled’ about the state of the Republican Party (no mention of the ComDem Party).

“...Mandatory long-term jail sentences for every politician caught...”

Nope. It should be execution, preferably by the most painful means of torture. /spit.

It seems Cheney has become a Dem. She should be indicted for fraud. She used Republican money to get elected as a Republican but has voted Democratic throughout her term in office. She has misrepresented her intentions and physically shown her objective by voting with Pelosi.

Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY)

Not a big surprise. I think we need to remember her father, Dick Cheney. I think there is a reason Steve Bannon always refers to Dick Cheney as "that war-monger Dick Cheney".
