Doesn’t sound like a man who is on the verge of resigning. Why anyone would think he would doesn’t make sense. These people never resign, never admit they are wrong, and have no shame. They will double, triple down.

I inadvertently listened to him for less than one minute. I heard Blinken saying something to the effect that delaying the withdrawal until after Trump’s May 1 deadline allowed them to have it be a more orderly withdrawal. I doubt that anyone challenged him about the difference between a conditioned withdrawal and a complete surrender, abandoning our airfields first.

Did anyone ask him why they allowed the Taliban to use the entire summer, which is their fighting season, to take over most of Afghanistan? I wonder if these Congress critters even know that the Taliban slinks back into Pakistan during the winter ... at least they used to do this.

Not wasting my time. Democrats will support every move he made. Republicans if not spineless will ripe him one! Then nothing will happen

Biden did not follow the agreement negotiated by Trump. That is not conjecture. Everyone needs to read the four page conditions-based agreement. When is some GOP Congressman to go after Blinken on this Big Lie?

Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban and the United States of America February 29, 2020

They are giving only 3 minutes per questioner. Idiotic kabuki. These bloviators can barely ask a question in 3 minutes.

Heh.

One guy had 43 seconds left and asked if he chose to use them.

He did.

This is our country solving serious issues?

With a president forgets his name?

I’m sorry to bother yon readers.

I needed to vent.

When each person had five minutes there might have been time for a follow up to a non answer or a lying answer. . Three minutes pretty much ensures that there can be no follow up. Of course Republicans are not smart enough to use their time to follow up someone else’s unanswered question. Each congressman just wants his own soundbite for the news back home.

The committee should prepare for just that tactic.

Blinkin lied about Trumps plan. There was an attack after the agreement and Trump when in blew up some Taliban. The agreement was null and void at that point.

Wish Republicans would bring up about the Taliban offered our military to control the gates and we said no and let Taliban do it.

Bagram, should of brought up about keeping a small troop staying at Bagram just in case things went bad. Someone should bring that up.

You’re right.

They do not properly represent us and think we are too stupid to know it.

Venting again.

From what I can see he’s getting nothing but softball questions! This is sickening.

Blinken is a pathetic, moronic, nobody that rose to the highest ranks of government. How clueless and unaware can one person be? The only more pathetic thing is the incredibly stupid questions from suck-up Democrats.

The GOP dude from California was much to obsequious before asking pathetically weak questions. He should have thrown down the gauntlet. Blinken is skating. He is not being grilled.

Kinziger up, right off the bat says Trump messed up. UGH so glad he’s not going to return after the next election.

Now Adam Kinzinger is up. What a clueless nitwit. This guy actually got elected to Congress. Is his district made up entirely of insane asylums? Good God. Give him the hook. Blaming Trump for everything. He is a traitor to America.
