Don Bacon (NE-02) on the situation in Kabul: “Our nation’s prayers go out to those who were injured and to the families of the reported 12 U.S. Servicemen killed in this horrific attack. We also pray for the safety of our troops as we finish carrying out this mission, and for the stranded American citizens and our Afghan allies who are still in the area desperately trying to escape. “The flawed retreat and withdrawal from Afghanistan has shown the utter ineptness in the White House. The results have put our troops in a very vulnerable position at the Kabul Airport while we have thousands of American citizens at risk of being stranded and made hostages. “This disaster will be remembered as one of the worst foreign policy fiascos in our nation’s history and the repercussions will be felt for a decade.” Older statements can be found on social media accounts and at bacon.house.gov. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:11:17Z |
